[EE25]

Hi All! I'm 25, married, work full time, go to school full time, and have two step daughters. I've been overweight my whole life and I've tried every fad diet and diet pill out there. I am sick of this being the only part of my life that I feel I can not succeed in or even have any control over. Ironically I work at a community mental health clinic and I admitt that I probable need counseling to help control my emotional eating but its hard to get working on the other side of things. Thats why I would like to be part of this forum and hopefully make some new friends that can help me fight this battle. I welcome any advice that anyone has for a new member starting out! I look forward to getting to know all of you!

I would be really grateful and happy if we could be weigh in buddies. I am 26 in a realtionship - work full time. I totally emphasized with you when you stated that you had always been over weight - so have I. Ever since a child. I have joined this forum to tell everyone that I really need to put a stop to that. Over the last three years alone I have put on a stone a year. I am now 192 pounds and I really want to get to 126 pounds. I think that we can help each other take a step at a time by posting our weekly weight.
We can do this together. You seem to be helping lots of people at work and not caring for you. Lets do it together.
