Hi everyone...My name is Stacia, I'm 23, and starting my last year of graduate school. I reached my all-time high weight of 178 in April. I have always been very active, but I've seemed to gain about 30 pounds since high school (6 yrs). Since April 25th, I've lost 6 pounds simply by cutting calories and making better food choices. Now I need emotional support to keep going! I've read several of the threads, and find you all to be very sweet and supportive of each other. Will you adopt me, please???

Hiya Stacia, how are ya? Welcome to the boards! I'm sure you will find many people here to be very supportive, friendly, and encouraging! the great thing about these boards are that there are lots of people at lots of different weights with many different goals so I'm sure you'll find some people you can relate to! Don't get discouraged...right now I would KILL to be your weight! Just remember, wherever you are, there's someone else who has made your top weight one of their goals!

Right now, I am participating in the "April Chicks" thread in this support catagory...they are really nice and supportive, and we check in on a daily basis most of the time, to encouage, support, and to let eachother know how we are doing! You are welcome to join us if you want!

A little about me, I am a 26 (27 on Thursday!) year old woman, married, no kids yet. I have been overweight most of my life and I have recently rededicated myself to taking all the weight off for GOOD this time!! I have recently hit my all time high of 267 and I was S H O C K E D... so far, in less than a week I have lost 4lbs just by counting calories and getting in some moderate excersise (though I'm not great at excersising).. and I am hoping to get down to my goal weight of 140, but I know it will take some time, a lot of work, and A LOT of support, which is why I joined!

Stop by april chicks and say hi when you get a chance and welcome to the boards!
