Hi everyone,

I decided to join my fitness pal after hearing so many success stories from friends and relatives. I've recently lost a lot of weight in the past which I have now gained almost all of it back. I'm ideally looking to start by losing about 10lbs and going from there.

I admit I can be really unmotivated and give in quite easily sometimes...but that was the old me! I need to do this NOW before my weight starts creeping up to an even higher number and it's even harder to get it off.

I do suffer from binge eating disorder and this is what really makes me put on the pounds obviously, it's when I get stressed and I feel so out of control that I shove all kinds of bad and unhealthy foods in my mouth, I'm starting to do yoga and other relaxation exercises to curb this stress though.

I would absolutely love it if I could have some extra support and encouragement on this site and I will do my best to offer it to anyone who might need it too!

    Add me if you want. Been going for 90 days and lost about 15 lbs. so far. Still having a hard time adjusting to the foods I "shouldn't" eat but each day at a time! Love to have support and success stories from others, just makes me feel better.
