    I think I'm in the exact same boat as you in terms of the amount of weight I want to lose by those dates!

    I'm really hoping to learn to live a healthy lifestyle where I'm not counting calories and stressing over what I eat. I got there last year, but something just triggered me to binge eat again. I miss the feeling of confidence that I had then, and a big lifetime goal is to regain and keep it!

    ST - running a 5 k pretty soon and want to get through it and feel proud!
    MT - stop the binge sessions, it's going to take time but my current biggest issue if my lack of control at night!
    LT - have a routine I'm happy with, to be happy with eating in moderation. Not stopping myself eating something if I want it but not feeling guilty afterwards!
    Life - feel happy in my skin! If I want to show a little belly I can and will

    I totally get you on the binge sessions! They were my downfall - I'm healthy for most of the day, eating a reasonable amount of calories, then BAM at night I go crazy. I've more or less stopped in the past few weeks, but I still get the occasional urge :(

    And yes to feeling happy in your skin :) that should be on all of our goal lists.

    Great goals! And and that's really exciting but I bet kind of nervous that you get to meet your half siblings :) Love you for who you are! Struggled with that my whole life! Finally starting to get better :)

    Long term: bulk / cut cycles to gain lean body mass.
