Hi, I'm relatively new to the forums and I'm looking for some friends who can give some support, advice, and help keep me accountable. I think being a part of a community here will really help me to stay on track this time!

A little bit about myself for anyone who is curious:
I'm 22 years old, and am looking to lose quite a bit of weight. I'm aiming for 100 pounds, and maybe even more if I reach that goal someday. I have successfully lost weight before, but I gained it all back and more over the last 3 years. This time I'm hoping to keep it off for good. I'm a university student and some of the obstacles I'm hoping to overcome during my weight loss journey are stress/emotional eating, finding time to eat properly on a busy schedule, and of course being able to eat well on my tiny student-sized budget haha.

So if anyone is looking for more friends and can spare some advice and support, I'd be happy to give some as well :)

    hi drummer_lady ! im looking for some support too. I have been mega fit most of my life and did a dance degree in uni. to me my normal size is a size 6 weighing about 7 1/2 stone. Im a tiny build and have always considered my body to be my career if that makes sense. I LOVE my food so even tho i was on a controlled diet for ten years I still ate what i wanted but burned it off as i lived in the gym !
    I gave birth to my son Jack over 2 1/2 years ago and put on about 3 stone but lost it within 2 months of having him . Sadly tho due to several complications during labour I am not what you consider partly disabled. Im no longer able to excersise (which is my stress relief) and have not set foot in a gym for 2 years now. Ive gone up to 10 1/2 stone and while i appreciate for alot of people thats nothing , to me its 4 stone heavier than what i should be and I hate the way i look. i find it really hard to diet as my weakness is midnight snacking mainly due to me not able to sleep because of the pain im in ( the copious amount of drugs im on for pain also make me gain weight) and boredom. I really need some support but could never go to slimming world or weight watchers as they cost too much and there are too many foods which i wouldnt be able to eat and i cant do that. Id rather eat what i want in moderation than cut it out
