    Hey everyone, I am a singer / actress from the uk and being in this business is tough and I am really overweight right now. I am about 220lbs and my goal is 125lbs.

    I am finding it REALLY hard to motivate myself and I definitely overeat and comfort eat to try dampen depression and negative feelings.

    I realise that to really lose weight it has to be a change in lifestyle, not a quick fix.

    Anyone else around this weight wanting to get to a similar goal?
    Would love to get to know more people on here for support!
    It is late in the uk so I am starting tomorrow, and REALLY need to keep motivated.

    What sort of things keep you all motivated?
    What makes you stop binging, etc?

    Much love to all!
    EMJ

    Hi, EMJ:



    I'd love to be your buddy! There are a couple other threads on weight loss buddies in this forum right now, so you should be able to match up with a couple others, too! I am 21 also, and my goal is around 130lbs.

    If you want to set up something, I have plenty of free time to chat (too much, heh)! Here's my email address nataly @ kittenpile . com

    That one is a temp. that I don't worry about spam. Hope to talk to you soon, and congrats on starting your healthy lifestyle!

    I am 21 too. There is alot of support here! What I do when I feel a binge coming on is go try on a pair of my "dream jeans" that are alittle too tight. It was really hard in the begining to stop my binges but after some time, it does get easier to just stop and drink a big glass of water or only have a bite of whatever you want to binge on.

    Hey,
    I am also 21 and I would love to be your buddy! MY goal at the moment is 140 but once I reach it I plan to try to go further as that still puts me as technically overweight. I also have problems with binges so I can def understand that.

    hi there! I am 21 too and my goal weight is 140 pounds at the moment, which would give me a BMI in the healthy range (but when i get there i may decide to try and get a bit lower, who knows ). If you want to be buddies let me know, i'll give you my email address, or u can PM me ^_^

    Hi EMJ

    I'm also 21 and my goal weight is around 140. I think you'll find a lot of great support here to help you overcome those moments when you feel like giving up completely. Any idea what kind of plan you're going to start following? Feel free to PM me if you want to chat.
