Hi there,
I’m a 29 year old nurse looking for help with my weight loss journey. I’ve struggled with food addiction for the past few years and have really hit rock bottom. I’ve lost 30 lbs but have at least 50-70 more to go to be at a really healthy weight per my MD. Love having people to motivate and help motivate in return! Add me if you’d like to get through this journey day by day together ☺️

    Hi I’m maggie, I gain 40 pound in 3 year, I’m 30. Currently in nursing school. I might have a slightly different story than you. In most of my 20 I was healthy and fit. but recent 3 years I gain weight gradually until now. I haven’t seen any doctor, but I can tell I might have binge eating habit. I eat relatively healthy, but I can’t control the portion. It is hard to look at your self become overweight from perfectly healthy active person. Don’t even mention the damage to your self esteem. I suffer a bit from anxiety, eating makes me feel relieve sometime. But I decide to stop the bad circle. If you need support, I think I can support you. good luck with your journey.

    Hi, I am a sugar addict too. I've been off of all refined sugar and flours for 20 days. I've lost about 15lbs. It's not easy but I realize that I think exactly like an alcoholic, so I have to catch my thoughts. Anyway, send me a request if you'd like. I try to log fairly often.

    Hi, I have had a similar struggle over the years and have only recently committed to give up refined sugar and all flour. Feel free to add me.

    Try with exercise... It stops u from eating senselessly.
