Hello everyone. I'm Jessica. I am 36 y/o. I have struggled with my weight my entire life, and am a recovered Anorexic/Bulimic/Emotional Eater. I began my final weight loss journey in October of 2014 when I weighed in at my highest weight ever of 323 lbs. Today, I'm at 234 lbs, and I am 55 pounds away from my goal weight.

Looking for "30-something" friends here on this forum, so introduce yourself and say hello. I look forward to talking with you

Congrats on your loss so far. You are doing awesome!

I'm Antonia. I'm 30. I've always been heavy, even as a child, but it got bad in college. After I graduated I buckled down and lost 65lbs over the next 2 years (and this site was very instrumental in keeping up my motivation). Then had a major family crisis and I stress ate my way all the way back up. Now I have anxiety and mild depression, which makes losing weight so much harder than it was the first time, but I'm committed to seeing it through. I'm content just to see a downward trend.

Hello, nice to "meet you". Thanks for sharing a bit of your story and keep on keepin' on

Hi. You've already made a lot of progress with your weight loss. That's fantastic. I'd been obese since childhood and it has really killed my self esteem. I've lost some weight a couple of times during adulthood before now and regained. However, during the past couple years I've made the most progress, getting out of the obese range and feeling a little better about myself, but the journey continues.

A journey it is, indeed, but well worth it

I'm in the same boat as you, i'm 33 years old, and would love a friend on here

Hello

I'm going to send you a friend add! How are you liking this support forum so far?

I've been here for almost a month and love it!

Have a great day

Hi,

My name is Terra, I'm 31, I started out at 302 and Now I'm 275, My goal weight is 150 so I have 125 pounds more to go. I started my 2nd weight loss journey in Jan. of 2014 and I havent looked back. I started my 1st weight loss journey in July of 2013 but I threw in the towel when Thanksgiving came around.

Hi Terra

Best wishes in your journey. Glad to "meet" you!

Hi Terra! Great job on the weight loss so far. You are so close to your mini-goal!

I'm 33 years old, and have 2 kids. I'm from New Orleans where the food is tasty but not all that healthy. I've yoyo dieted on and off for a good portion of my life, I've lost as much as 50 pounds but always seem to regain. This time I'm focused on my end goal and not getting so tangled up with my shortcomings. It is great that you're on your way to goal. I'm more of in the beginning again, strugglin with emotional binge eating. I know that anything is possible, we just have to keep on trying! It'd be great to have a buddy in this trek. I'm starting at around 290 pounds, my son is 7 months old and I intially lost weight but regained after returning to work and eating fast food. I've been gradually cutting down on my bad habits which has improved the way I feel. What is your approach?

Hi! I started my weightloss journey 1 year ago. I lost 45 pounds between July and December and then went into maintenance. Over the past 6 months I put 10 back on, which doesn't seem like a lot, but that is how I got to an unhappy weight in the first place, so I have been struggling to lose those 10, and since I stopped my weightloss before reaching my original goal, I want to lose some more. I took a hiatus from this site, but I think I need to focus more of my energy on my weightloss so trying to get back in. I used to hang out in the 20-somethings as I was 29 when I started, but that forum looks pretty quiet and I am 30 afterall! Nice to meet you all!

Nice to meet you too HaveDogWillDiet! Good job on stopping that gain in its tracks.
