Hey all! I am 18 years old and I have finally decided to take control of my life back. For the past 10 years or so I have been dealing with this weight and have been on yo-yo diets. The weight has caused me nothing but trouble and has caused me some serious depression in the past because of people making fun of me. I am an emotional eater so I have a problem with binge-eating. At one point I had problems with purging as well but I kicked the habit. For the past week I have been watching what I eat and cutting down on my soda intake and I've lost nearly 5 pounds. This has kind of opened up my eyes and made me realize that I am strong. I need some support though guys. Who wants to help me out?!

    Just starting too! Just had my second baby 2 months ago and want to take off all the excess weight! I also have a lot to lose. Everyday is a new day to succeed! Keep trying and don't let a small setback derail you.
