in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I'm looking for friends either somewhat close to my age and/or needing to lose over 100 lbs. I'm 5'2", I currently weigh 254 lbs and am aiming to get down to 125 as my final goal.

I've struggled with eating disorders in the past, and now as I've hit my all-time high, my thoughts had started leaning towards the negative side of things once again and I knew I had to make a change for the better. However, it's really hard, because I don't know many people in my area at all. ):

I'd really like to find a buddy or two on here to support and share my journey with. :)

    Hello! I'm Jamie and I'm around your age :); 20. I just started using MFP last week, losing 5lbs. I currently weigh 266lbs and am looking to lose a whole person :P. I log/blog daily and am always up for meeting new people my age. I'm definitely up for finding another friend my age that I can really count on to help motivate me and in return motivate! I keep trying to get some of my friends on board, but none of them are interested. Feel free to add me :))

    I'm around your age (22) and height (5'2.5"). I'm currently 114lbs and trying to get down to about 110 before reevaluation, but I am mostly focusing on BF% rather than the number on the scale.

    I also believe in losing weight healthy so feel free to add me if you want.

    Hey, I'm Samantha. I'm 25 and I can relate to part of what you are going through. I don't think it's uncommon for girls our age to have struggled with some kind of eating disorder, unfortunately, but know you're not alone! I still find myself having really negative thoughts and feeling guilty over any food I eat, even if it's good for me! It's just a matter of willpower and having others around you who understand for support! I'll add you :)
