80+ pounds to go!

I've officially reached my highest weight ever: 242 lbs.

Most people lose weight going through a divorce, but I gained it because I use food to numb the pain, and I have binge eating disorder. SO I'm pretty screwed up with my attitude toward food and looking to heal it fast before I do much more damage to my health.

Started about a week ago and I'm happy to be in the 230s again at 239!
I'd love to be 155 lbs (college weight), but wouldn't it be nice to lose a nice round 100lbs and be 142? :)

I'm rather active on here (as well as getting more active IRL), so if you're looking for a fun, supportive friend, I'm your gal!

Favorite new activities: Rock Climbing (Yes, somehow this body is strong enough to get up intro and some 5.5 walls!), Cize (dance program by Beachbody), wogging (jog/walking), plain ol' walking, and tennis. Starting yoga tomorrow. Should be an interesting experience.

    I'm about the same weight as you. Not quite as active though! You can do this :)

    I'm about the same weight, too, and would also like to lose 80 pounds. I just saw a quote on someone else's profile about finding the place inside of you where nothing is impossible. I know it's not because I've done it before, but I didn't appreciate it enough and hang onto it. I was a little smug and didn't think I'd let myself get out of control again. But here I am. We can do this.
