Hello, all! Hope it's a nice Friday for everyone.

I'm Lacey, 21, student, musician, animal enthusiast, pizza aficionado. College has really done a number on me - I sadly fell into a serious uppers/stimulant addiction my freshmen year and dropped down to my thinnest. I am happy and proud to say that I conquered that lifestyle and have been clean since March 18, 2009 - inevitably, I gained some pounds and got back to a healthy weight.

Then I gained more... and more... and now, in my senior year of college, I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I foolishly quit setting food boundaries for myself a couple years ago, and am not quite so healthy as a result.

Time for change! I'm on a mission to lose 20 lbs, and would love to meet and support fellow MFPers, as you all are so inspiring.

    Congrats! I know how hard the struggle can be (not personally but from my bf.) Being on here will give you a new healthy perspective and hopefully be just what you need!
