in Introduce Yourself
My name is Hannah and I'm fairly new to the MFP website and community. Like the subject line says, I'm 19 and looking for others around my age group that are looking to make a positive change to their lifestyle (a few people willing to support each other over similar obstacles).

I'm an art major in college (aiming to get my B.S. Art Education K-12) and love drawing, painting, sculpting, crafting, makeup artistry...pretty much anything artsy!

I've been overweight throughout my entire life. Once or twice I have had the motivation to lose weight and get into shape, but I find that I often get comfortable once I get to my goal and rack the pounds right back on. It's harder for me to lose weight than others as I have IBS, depression/bipolar disorder, OCD/anxiety issues, and the metabolism of what appears to be an 80 year old woman... :tongue:

I am hoping that this website and the community will keep me on track towards success and motivate me to keep the pounds off once they start to gradually shed.

So....hello!

    Welcome to MFP!
    I feel so much better after this site. You'll like it. I didn't gain my weight til this past year, but I went through freshman year of college, and I was on an antidepressant known to cause weight gain. Getting off of it now.
    I'm 19, btw.I feel like we could relate quite a bit. Haha.

    Hello, I am also very into the arts. I am hoping to get into a private college in a few years, after completing some courses in community. Maybe we can chat about art sometime, and maybe weight loss. In my opinion, art is more fun, though. :>
