Introduce Yourself Here :)

Hey guys and gals! I am Benny! I am 30 from New York. I enjoy movies, yoyoing, photography and film. I have been fighting my weight for 10 years now. I have tried everything from going vegan to weight watchers. But recently I have noticed that through all that I had changed my habits but not my thinking which lead me back to my bad habits. So I am starting from scratch and going to begin with focusing on myself and how I feel about eating and why eating comforts me so much.
I look forward to meet each of you as you join and hope to hear your stories.

Thank you
and Welcome

We Aren't Done Here!

    Hi All!
    I'm Vicky. Been on here 11 whole days. My weight has been an issue my entire adult life. I've managed to lose about 35 lbs. and keep it off but I've had the hardest time losing more. I am shooting to lose a lb. a week. I'm also using the green coffee bean supplement to keep me fuller longer and I've lost nearly 9 lbs. I look forward to getting to know others on here in hopes of being able to help each other along on our journey to better health.
    I'm 43, married and live in Tennessee. No kids but a dog who thinks he is. I just look forward to seeing where this takes us. Have a great night!

    Take Care,
    Vicky

    Hello. My name is Laura. I am a 46 year old mom of a pre-teen and a teenager who are very fit. I work-out most days since I began this journey on January 6,2014. I have been fit my entire life and have gained weight in the past years that I desperately need to lose. My 1st goal is to lose 20 lbs (16 to go) so I am back within my bmi.

    Good luck everyone!

    Hi, I'm Maria. I am a SAHM in DC w/DH and three young children. I feel very challenged when it comes to eating healthy. I have hip displacement, so I don't exercise, yet. I'm looking to explore my dependence on chocolate to cope with stress and how not to let my hidden emotions result in binges. I find managing children and household challenging and that it makes it hard to plan my food choices. I want to live healthier in many ways!
