Hello my name is Amanda! I am 22 years old. I weigh 320 lbs. I have decided that I am ready to take charge of my life! I am SICK of food overtaking my life and my body. To me it is my drug... I keep eating unhealth knowing that it is killing me taking my life one bite at a time. No more. I am here to make a change, today is my day. I take back my life now!!! This addiction STOPS here! I have over 100 pounds to loose. I understand that this will take time and serious commitment. My husband and I are going to join a gym and he is planning on helping me stay motivated because he needs to loose about 30 lbs himself. I am looking for support... Maybe someone who will keep me accountable... Someone who will text me like crazy to say HEY YOU NEED TO WALK... HEY NO SODA... :) you know a support system I do need help. Thanks.

    welcome!!! I too have over 100 pounds to lose! Good for you in deciding you are worth the effort! I find the journaling helps the most. I am honest even on a bad food day so I can look back if i don't lose and point to the reason why. I work 12s so i am not on here a whole lot, primarily use it on my phone those days but I try to go back and read and comment on posts! Good luck and add me if you would like!!

    The first step is making that decision. This site is a great place for support and it is full of such kind people. We all have one thing in common and that is losing weight. So excited for you!!!
