in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm new here and I like it already, I would love to find some friends for this weight loss journey :)

I'm currently 136 lbs and 18 years old, I've gained weight recently due do depression and struggling with eating disorders and I would feel a lot better in my body if I lost the extra weight I have gained in healthy ways this time.

(please excuse my english, this is not my first language)

    :drinker: Also never get depressed about eating its a natural thing its just most tend to over do it and some more than most. But life still goes on and inleast you wanna help change yourself which is a great start :flowerforyou:

    And wow, that's an awesome coincidence. Glad to see that I'm not the only one that went that way before and now decided to be healthy :)

    Yeah well I have my ups and downs, trying to stop that thanks for the support ! What's weird is that the time that I was the healthier and most in shape was when I didn't care at all? that's kinda ironic.

    I too was depressed for a while after I finished high school, gained a bit of weight, and I know first hand this site can really help you lose the weight you want. And when you do you start to feel better about yourself, so it's really a win win! Good luck!
