Hello!

My name is Erin and I'm 23, living in Australia. I've used the app for a while but I keep giving up when it's just me so it would be nice to join a supportive community which is exactly what this seems to be :) I'd love to think that I could help someone else by being there as well, I know it takes a lot of guts to admit things you want to change about yourself, especially to others, so I'm already in awe of everyone here.

I know that I don't have a huge amount to lose (15kg/30lb) but it still feels a lot to me and I struggle with emotional eating (and drinking! Those post long-unsatisfying-day-at-work glasses of wine add up!) and I'm feeling uncomfortable in my body which I think means it's time for some change!

Thank you for listening, I hope this try sticks.

    If you want a friend, feel free to add me. 30 lbs, isn't to much and you will have it off in no time. =)

    Feel free to add me. I'm trying to lose 20. I know for a fact that losing a little is just as hard as losing a lot. I haven't been very successful so far in terms of losing, but I have stopped the gradual uphill trend and am at least maintaining. I am also eating a lot healthier. I try to be motivating and constructive... don't see the need to rip people for anything. I'm on almost every day, but sometimes don't have a lot of time to comment when work gets busy. When I do comment, I keep it positive.

    Good luck to you!
