Hi, how is everybody doing?

I am a 20 year old girl and I have been heavy pretty much my entire life. I have lost weight before only to gain it back. I am currently 5'5 and weigh 224 lbs. I want to lose about 60 lbs. My reasons for wanting to lose weight are: looking and feeling better, being able to buy smaller, cuter clothes, health (I don't want to develp diabetes and I am always tired), improved confidence (I suffer from extreme anxiety and hope weight loss will improve that some)

Anyways, I am just looking for a support group because I am going at this alone. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all so...yeah...talk to me

Welcome! I have just recently gotten started on a weight loss journey myself, for basically the same reasons. Good luck!

Thanks girls. I'm really glad I found this forum. I feel like my family doesn't really know what I am going through and it is a lot easier when you have a support system.
