Hello, I'm new here. I decided to join because I would like to lose some weight...I'm thinking about 20 lbs. I'm 19 years old and I have a problem with binge eating. It has caused me to gain weight...I gained 13 lbs in 2 months! I would like to be back at my original weight and then lose 10 lbs, but I'm finding it so hard to stay on track and motivated. I'm not happy with how I look and I know what I do to myself isn't healthy, so here goes. Hoping I will find some motivation soon! I'm a shortie (5' 1) so 20lbs would really make a difference on my frame. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

    I understand what you're saying. Staying on track has always been difficult for me, especially when off work and i fancy a 'treat.'
    Signing up here has helped me a great amount so far as reading about other peoples success stories motivates me.
    Feel free to get in contact for motivation.

    Hi,

    We all have bad days and ups and downs that why its a struggle to loose weight, however, if you stay here and stick with it you will find success. There are soooooooo many great stories and blogs that you can read about changing who you thought you were and becoming who you ought to be. I am only 5'4 but I am considered short in my family. I don't really binge eat at one sitting but I over eat throughout the day which is the same damn thing. Over eating is difficult. Add me as a friend and I will motivate you. I started MFP in June and have already seen success. You can do it :happy:
