Hi everyone,
So its time to make a change- a real one.
I am 100 lbs overweight. I weigh 250 and want to be 150, though 170 sounds pretty good too.
I am 24 years old and single. I am a Christian.
I've been overweight geesh, forever. In high school I was about 20 lbs heavier than my friends- then started college and lost weight, then gained and gained.
I had a breast reduction in 2001 at 230 lbs, with size 44 DDD breasts.
After that I never really got on the wagon to lose weight. After all, I could exercise now without getting beaten up!
Now I am 250 lbs and am size 42 D. Better! I've been exercising more this summer- walking. I love the afterwards feeling, am hoping I can really start to make this a habit!
I struggle with emotional eating to make myself feel better when down or sad.
This summer I was in a wedding for a friend- felt very embarrassed in my size 22 dress :( Next spring my best friend is getting married- and I can't let that happen again!
so thats me in a nutshell... would love some buddies out here!

I have to say that anything under 200 sounds wonderful, I can't remember the last time I weighed so little. My daughter had a breast reduction but at the time she only wore a 32"bra but with a g cup. She was so unhappy. But since she had the op she has put weight on and her bust has grown again though she doesn't look so out of proportion now.

Hang In There!
 

Katrina - I just wanted to say that I am new here and have found so much support that I am doing well. I couldn't say that a couple of weeks ago. I am also an emotional eater. I hope to one day say I "was" an emotional eater! Every single day is better than the last! Good luck and keep going forward.
take care
