Hi everyone! I've been reading these forums for a month or so now, and the mutual support that I've seen from members is amazing. So, I decided to join.
I'm a 16 year old girl from Indiana, who's been large all of my life. My heaviest was 225 pounds at about 5'7 (Worst time of my young life...). I'm now 189, and I feel so much better! I've finally gained a bit of confidence, but I still wish to lose another 20 pounds or so. I'm willing to discuss with and support others who are on the same path as I am.
P.S I still struggle with binge eating and overrating tendencies. These boards comfort me and remind me that others have the same issues.

Wow! what a great accomplishment! Congratulations!

Welcome to 3FC. These boards are very supportive!

WOO!~ Another teenager! It's great that you're here. I've only been here a little bit myself and already, I can tell you, I feel much better and more confident about all of this. Just knowing that you can get support whenever you need it will do wonders to your motivation. I can't wait to see your progress.

Thank you all! ^^^ I'm glad that there are other teenagers, too. :P
