Hi Everyone, My name is June and I am a food addict.

I am 10 days in! And am loving this site. I had no idea it even existed until a friend mentioned it. Well that was the best gift I could have received. I have met so many wonderful people on here so far but I am always looking to connect with people who I too can be a source of support and motivation. Strength in numbers!

I am an emotional eater who has tried ever diet under the sun.
This time I am just trying to keep it real...real food...real exercise.
And I figured why wait until the New Year.

I love life and want to live a long one.
Will you join me?

Happy Holidays Everyone!

    Hi June,

    I am in the same position as you!! Been there, done that with all the diets, I would either lose weight too fast or not lose weight at all. But I am behind you all the way, just have it set in your mind and you can do ANYTHING!!! Nice to meet you and I can't wait to see your progress!!!

    Your Chubby Buddy,
    Cassandra Hodge <3

    Happy holidays.

    You will be amazed with yourself, making positive changes and decisions will only help with your outlook on life. Exercise will help with your metabolism and emotions too. stay strong and figure out what in life causes you strife that makes you eat, once you sort it out you can work on fixing or eliminating those things. there is no quick fix, no miracle diet, just you and your desire to be healthy and fit. It takes time and effort, I will be here to support you along the way!

    In the same boat.

    I know what you are going through. I was 340 pounds and in bad health.
    In the past 21 months I have lost 145 pounds. I feel GREAT.
    What FREEDOM I enjoy now.
    Don't worry about counting calories, don't listen to the conventional wisdom when it comes to diet.
    The USDA and big food is killing us.
    I lost my wife of 37 years to the lies we have been told about diet and health.
    Read my story on my blog. I lay it all out.
    If an old man like me can do it, so can you.

    it really is difficult for people not in our situation to understand.

    I thought I would find the success stories to be the inspiration here but seeing someone seek support and get replies like that is feel good moment. Makes me glad to be on the site!


    Good luck, stay strong!

    Hi June!

    I know exactly how you feel. Emotional (especially stress!!) eating is my big hurdle.

    I know I need to lose at least 100 lbs, but right now I'm setting a goal of 50, then I'll go from there.

    Add me if you like. :) Good luck to you!

    Hi June. I too have just joined this site and am so glad I found it. Its been great for tracking everything I eat and keeping me aware of those hidden foods (the ones I eat then forget about). I am also a emotional eater and have 35 kilos (around 75 pounds) to loose, the good news is that I have already made progress since joining 4 days ago! :)

    Hey June,

    I know how you feel, and together we can do this! I have always said I wanted to lose weight, and I have never really tried. I just lack the motivation and I know that if I really wanted it I would have done something about it earlier. Well, I've finally opened up my eyes and I DO want to lose weight and feel good about myself. I'm not dieting, I'm making a lifestyle change. (:
