Shy girl here who has had trouble resisting her old ways of dealing with stress (emotional eating). I felt on top of the world last year after having lost 65 lbs, but now I've gained more than half of it back !

I've recently left my family and moved to a new town where I only know one person, my roommate. I am currently looking for a job, which will be the first job I have ever taken on which didn't involve working for my own family, haha.

Until now, I've gone through the triumphs and the setbacks of self-improvement by myself and it gets pretty lonely! I've realized that I would really love to be part of a community where I can share my journey, get motivation from others and make some new friends as well!

Nice to meet you all and see you on the forums!

Hi Nyan! Welcome to the forums! Having your weight yo-yo seems to be very common on a weight loss journey. I swear I've lost the same ten pounds three or four times since I've started losing weight. lol. I can understand the stress of moving to a new place and looking for a job. That was me last year when I transferred colleges.Everything gets a lot better once you settle in. Good luck with your weight loss! This is a great place to find motivation.
