Hey there! My name is Amy and I am 21 years old. I am currently at my highest weight ever, 208 lbs. I am pretty new to this site. I have always struggled with my weight, gaining and losing, and especially binge eating. I have never reached out online and looked for a support group, and was hoping to meet some people and hear some stories and just help lift peoples spirits as well:)

    welcome, amy. you're not alone. i'm in my fifties, hit my top weight a few years ago (242), and have slowly whittled it down. in the past, i've struggled with my weight due to binge eating, although at one point years ago i was anorexic and underweight. may first of this year i decided i wanted to make a change in my weight, health and the entire binge eating thing. i started logging every bite of food i took in a food diary (with the help of my faithful food scale), and have lost 14 pounds since then. am taking brisk walks and doing some strength training, and am getting results. woohoo!

    i think you'll find a lot of people here at MFP are supportive and helpful - maybe it's the right place for you!
