Morning everyone! I am new and looking for a group of support to help me tackle the last leg of my weight loss journey. I am short (5 feet) and at the end of college weighed 150 pounds. Now I am down to 131, but this past summer I was 120. I put some back on after I got engaged, and was celebrating with family and friends, and also some added stress of a wedding and buying a house.

While my weight is not a huge amount that I want to finish (16 pounds) I struggle to do it in a healthy way. I have a history of resorting to crash diets, binge eating, and other unhealthy eating habits. I am hoping that by being a part of this group, I can keep focused and know that I am not the only one trying to be thinner.

Happy new year all, looking forward to starting today!

Welcome, Dzauggs! This is a great place to learn healthy approaches to eating and to witness people doing that every day. I find it so helpful to be among this virtual group of healthy eaters when everything else about society pushes me in decidedly unhealthy directions.

Best wishes for you wedding!

Hi Dzauggs! Congrats on the weight you've lost so far and on your upcoming marriage! As you browse around here, you might want to check out the Featherweights forum under Support Groups. I wish you the best. Good luck!
