Female needing to lose 100+ lbs

Options
Hello, my name is Sara. I used MFP once before but nothing consistent. My weight has plummeted and I am in a very low place. I am at my largest ever. I need to lose 125 lb. my weight is affecting my quality of life. I never feel good, my body aches all the time. I truly have a food addiction and I am in such a rut. Are there others here that can relate? I know that I am the only one who can change it. I have to get busy getting healthy.

    I am just starting my journey and am right there with you. I have 95 pounds to lose and am the biggest I have ever been. I will be checking in with you. I am also very tired of the aches and pains. Slowly we can do this.

    I have a similar weight loss journey ahead. It's overwhelming..... 100+ lbs... but it all starts with losing that very first lbs. Once you start, you'll see one lbs follows another and another. It just takes time (LOL and patience is not my strongest virtue... apparently). I'll sent you a friend request because I'm going to be around for a while lol

    I can relate to you in that I struggle with my relationship with food. Still, after working so hard to improve my nutrition this year, I find myself emotionally eating or feeling like I can't stop eating. It's getting better, but it's definitely a daily struggle. One day at a time.
