I’m back!

Many years ago, this app really helped me find a sense of community that helped me reach a lot of goals. A lot has happened since then… escaped an abusive relationship, experienced many personal and family tragedies, and found myself turning to sugar and junk food for comfort. I gained over 100 lbs and ended up with chronic pain from carrying so much weight as well as 3 types of arthritis (I’m only in my mid 30s!) and type 2 diabetes. I recently got diagnosed with a binge eating disorder and the medication I started a month ago has been so helpful with quieting the food chatter. I feel like I’m ready to start my weight loss journey again and I’m looking to build my community online again because I don’t have anyone in my life anymore and am quite isolated.

Hi!
Congratulations on getting out of the abusive relationship and starting your weight loss journey again!
I’m on a similar path and wish to lose at least 80 pounds within a year if possible. This is the first time I’m going on such a weight loss journey but I need to do it for my health and personal self-esteem.
I’m working on exercise more, stopping drinking soda, and drinking more water. I know it’s going to be tough but hopefully I can stay motivated and hold myself accountable.
I really want to lose this weight. I hope you lose it too!0
