Hi! I'm Jacei. I'm 20 years old and a junior in college. I live in Alaska with my parents and younger brother..

I was actually very thin all through high school. It wasn't until my senior year that my weight and eating issues started. I gained 50 lbs in a little over a year, if you can believe that. I don't know how I let it get that far but now I'm ready to commit to losing weight and getting healthy again. I've lost about 16lbs since November, which is better than nothing, I suppose. The weight is coming off so slowly because every time I start doing well, I end up bingeing and gaining back what I lost and then some! I feel like I'm ready to get serious though. I just can't stand being fat anymore.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

Welcome Jacei! Welcome to 3FC!
You should check the support groups, it's likely you'll find a place where you'll feel comfortable and where you'll get motivation, ideas and can chat with other people in similar situations to yours. Since you talk about bingeing, check out Chicks In Control ^^

I'm cheering for you and your success

Welcome from another newbie (to posting, anyway), and congrats on your success so far! 16 pounds lost/maintained is great!

I sooo know how you feel! Good for you on the 16lbs! Thats great!

Hi Jacei,

You sound like me. I was thin in high school too then when I came to SC, I started to gain pounds. You'll lose it. Have faith!
