I'm new too. I lost 90lb and have gained 34 of them back. Ready to get rid of them again but can't do it without support. No idea how to even become friends and join groups and start conversations! Just know I need them!

I need the support too so feel free to friend me. I'm struggling to not revert back to bulimia too but it's hard!

Please feel free to add me! I lost 60lbs and then gained it all back, plus another 20! So I am really trying hard to stay on track. Lots of stress/angst/anxiety lately has led me into emotional eating so much lately... like everday getting fast food. So hard, but reading these posts help a lot. Also, it reminds me that even though I feel alone, I really am not! Others are going through this too!

Everyone can add me! I am a long-time lurker, but first-time poster. Being supported is half the battle in losing weight, and I'd love to chat with anyone who needs a pick-me-up. And as someone else pointed out, good on you Sara for losing all that weight to begin with!

I myself am struggling to get back to where I was---I am currently 170 pounds and 5'5" and am looking to get back to my former weight of 135-140 pounds. I lost my father this year to ALS, and over the past two years, I've been emotionally eating while watching this disease take its toll. I am only now beginning to start giving myself the TLC I need, and I would love a community to kick-start my weight loss!

I am Al. I am ashamed to admit this, but I have heard the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I am overweight. I am a binge-eater, and I need help to quit binge eating forever. The day before I began my fitness pal I consumed approximately 8,830 calories in one day, and it wasn't even a special occasion. I calculated it. Though, I am sure there were many days in which I consumed more than this. In fact, I don't know if that day would even make my top 100 binge-eating days, but I never calculated how many calories I consumed those other days. One day I ate two medium full-size delivery pizzas loaded with toppings. Another day, my mother gave me a huge extremely sweet, rich, and chocolatey ice cream cake for my birthday, and I ate the entire cake within two days except for two small slices. In December, I went to the movie theater, and just while watching one film I consumed 3 jumbo popcorn containers with extra butter by myself. I think I could talk about my binge-eating failures for hours. However, when I am not binge-eating I eat mostly low-calorie healthy food. When I am not binge-eating I am a strong proponent for saving the environment and eating healthy, and when I am binge eating I feel like a hypocrite. Though, I love good tasting food so much that I feel like I could eat it forever. I really appreciate food that makes my taste senses explode with joy. I also binge-eat during almost all celebrations or when I am depressed. Additionally, when I am not binge-eating I think very few people eat healthier than me. I have been doing okay recently, but I do not know when I will not be able to resist the urge to binge eat again. To complicate things I am a Christian, and in Christianity over eating is considered the sin of gluttony. I am trying to get in shape because 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV reads: "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." Thus, I really want to get in as good of shape as possible spiritually and physically. Though, I may need some support.

You all can add me too if you like. My problem is eating and eating and eating and eating!!!

I understand how everyone feels as I feel the same way myself. I have always been bigger than average but I hit my breaking point when I went on holiday to Florida and could not fit in the seats for the Hulk, dragon challenge and rip ride rocket. We are going back to Florida fo our honeymoon in September 2016 and I want to fit in every seat. A strange sounding goal is that I want to wear shorts, I have never liked my legs so I have never worn them but I want to. Please add me I will be a support and a friend to all my contacts.

Everyone please freind me too! Sounds like we are all in the right group. Before I married I was so healthy and happy. Then with a rocky marriage, having children I tooks others advice and let myself go to hell. I've climed out now wondering what the heck. Things are getting better but my husband is a gourmet cook and it's not always healthy. I have issues with portion control and eating when stressed which I NEVER did before. Look forward to chatting and helping each other. Currently I am working on burning my excess calories with anytype of excercise. I want to eat healthy again. I also found that in my twenties I found great motivation in a book from Cheryl Tiegs and another of Chirstie Brinkleys. Simples excercises that mold you into a great shape. I still re read them and I am turning 55 in November. +

Feel free to add me! Lost 60 pounds two years ago and now I've gained back 80. Here for mutual support, for you and anyone else who needs it!

feel free me to add me as well!
