Just Joined! Looking for support!
 

Hi All! I'm 25, married, work full time, go to school full time, and have two step daughters. I've been overweight my whole life and I've tried every fad diet and diet pill out there. I am sick of this being the only part of my life that I feel I can not succeed in or even have any control over. Ironically I work at a community mental health clinic and I admitt that I probable need counseling to help control my emotional eating but its hard to get working on the other side of things. Thats why I would like to be part of this forum and hopefully make some new friends that can help me fight this battle. I welcome any advice that anyone has for a new member starting out! I look forward to getting to know all of you!

I would be really grateful and happy if we could be weigh in buddies. I am 26 in a realtionship - work full time. I totally emphasized with you when you stated that you had always been over weight - so have I. Ever since a child. I have joined this forum to tell everyone that I really need to put a stop to that. Over the last three years alone I have put on a stone a year. I am now 192 pounds and I really want to get to 126 pounds. I think that we can help each other take a step at a time by posting our weekly weight.
We can do this together. You seem to be helping lots of people at work and not caring for you. Lets do it together.
