Hello everyone!
I am new here - have only posted a few times.
I only have about 10-15 pounds to lose, but that seems to be when it's the hardest. I am having a tough time staying motivated, so I was excited to find this site. I need some like-minded folks to help me stay on track.
I'm really good about exercising (kind of a fanatic about it), but my downfall is eating too much. We all know you can only exercise off a limited number of calories, but you eat 10 times as many in the same amount of time! So that's my problem. I eat when I'm bored, when I'm upset or angry, feeling down, etc. I'm trying to stop the pattern of turning to food to comfort me - or just give me something to do. LOL

Welcome! You aren't alone when it comes to emotional eating! I bet you can find some people with similar goals over in the Featherweights section. Keep coming back and keep at it!

Welcome! During the week my eating habits are pretty good. Excercise and the whole 9. I work M-F so my days are pretty structure, but the weekends are my time and adding my daughter in there too. Like you I eat because I'm bored or just need something to do. And those choices got me into being some 40ish pounds overweight.

This forum will provide info, support and possible some new buds. Goodluck on your journey!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I am hoping the warmer weather will get me outdoors more so that I'm far away from the kitchen! Ha ha. It's getting warmer here, but we're also getting a lot of rain. =(
