21, Morbidly Obese, and Ready for Change!

Options
Hello all!! My name is Anna and I'm looking to meet new friends to journey with on this road to change. I am 21 years old and currently weigh about 320lbs. I'm depressed and anxious and worried about my health. I have thyroid disease which hasn't helped the weight issue and my doctor's have been regularly checking for the development of Type 2 diabetes. As of right now I'm in the clear, but I have to make changes if I want it to stay that way. I am young and I have so many goals and I want to reach them confidently. I love performing, but it's not easy getting cast or being taken seriously at my current weight. Feel free to add me! I need to get serious about this. I need change!

    I'm morbidly obese as well, not a fun term. I have't wieghed under 200lbs in 20 years. Started my wieght loss journey at my heaviest 250lbs. Currently 220lbs I lost 8 pant sizes but looking forward to being under 200. I'm 37 and mfp seems the best thing so far. Releaves the stress of eating.Its ok to eat. I also found an amazing blog organize yourself skinny, premaking food so you don't grab the empty carbs. Hope your journey continues strong. This is a good place to start.
