Hi all,

My name is Amy! I have dabbled in the weight loss game since I was 19 (I am now 21). I have always been overweight and have always struggled with the way that I look, but recently, my weight has reached the point where I struggle with day to day things and my health is at risk, if it's not already in harms way.

I have been in and out of My Fitness Pal for two years now, and after a succesful start (I lost 30lb) the weight went back on. The following year I lost 45lb and, you guessed it, it went back on, along with another 30lb. Since those two failures I had given up. I am very lucky to say that I have a boyfriend who loves me for eveything that I am, a dangerous thing when you're overweight, am I right?! It feels super good to have your boyfriend tell you youre beautiful whilst you're stuffing a share sized bar or chocolate into you mouth in less that two bites!!

I talk about lsiong weight all the time, and it hit me yesterday like an oversized cliche slamming right into the middle of my forehead.... I can't just talk about losing weight - I have to eat less. DOH.

I am hoping to find a variety of friends on here, people I can look up to with their success and people like me who I can feel proud to support. I'd like to make some real life friends who I can chat to, not only about weight loss but about Game of Thrones, make up and Downton Abbey!

For a little context, I'm 21, live on the not so sunny south coast of England and am 334lb!
