in Getting Started
Hi:) Im 24 years old and from Ohio. The last couple years I have put on a whopping 50 pounds mainly due to a lack of exercise and love of food. I also tend to eat when I'm sad, or happy.. really any emotion. But I'm off to a great start and looking for all the help I can get! I'd love to make some new friends on here to keep me on track with my new lifestyle and I'll help to motivate you as well:). I enjoy riding my horses and I'm going to start going to the gym again!! Can't wait to continue on this journey of finding myself and creating healthy habits:)

    I'm in Ohio also (Fairfield). This is my 32 day using MFP and I'm down 41 Lbs. so far. I like that I can look at a food and say, hmm, that piece of pie will be mine after I walk another 2 miles. My energy level is up and my appetite is actually down. Plus I'm eating healthier (veggies are my new best friend). So I'm motivated and it sounds like you are too. I would be happy to cheer you on.

    Hey there! I feel like the black sheep- I am not from Ohio, I'm from Canada... but, I do have roughly 50 pounds to lose as well (lost 15 pounds since August!), and I am also an emotional eater. Feel free to add me! I like motivation:)

    I live next to Ohio. Indiana actually. Im doing a 90 day challenge (started 1/1/15) with my fitness group and MFP is one thing holding me accountable. Would love some support from anywhere!

    41 pounds in 32 days? Wow - how do you do that? More details please. Thanx.

    This may be silly, but I just read an article about how if you eat when you're bored/stressed/sad/emotional, you should try eating with your non-dominant hand (your left hand if you're right-handed), which will help you pay more attention to your eating. Worth a shot!

    I am the farthest black sheep out here in Oregon ;) Big time emotional eater with a LOT to lose, but baby steps of 10 lbs at a time makes it seem much more doable. Anyone in the same boat feel free to add me!

    If I ate with my left hand I'd be lucky to get it anywhere near the vicinity of my face! My left hand doesn't listen very well haha ;)
