Just heard about this group and love the idea since I absolutely love to write and have struggled with my weight for over 15 years. Since I was young, I've had problems with emotional eating and finally, I am below the 250s and motivated to keep losing. I started a blog too, if interested you can check it out.

I have been overweight for most of my life. I am 27 years old and I remember how hard it was to feel accepted by others when I was young and chubby. I always had a lot of friends but felt unworthy or unimportant. In the past 5-6 years, my self confidence has soared but the weight hasn't come off. Now is the time. Committing to mfp, will be more diligent in logging food and joined and challenge group on here as well. Wish me luck.
