New to My Fitness Pal and looking for support

Hello Everyone! I'm 33 years old and I am new to My Fitness Pal. The thing I am not new to is struggling with my weight. I have been overweight/obese most of my life and I have tried every fad diet that you can imagine and they all "work" for a short time and then I always end up gaining back more than I lost to begin with. I decided to take control of life and my weight. I am trying to just eat healthy and just become more healthy overall and hopefully lose the weight that I want to lose as a result of the healthy eating. My friend recommended this site to me so I thought I would give it a shot and I deicded to come to the message boards because I could always use the moral support. Having someone to help me through the low points when I would normally reach for food to cope would be a big help for me ( I am definitely an emotional eater).

    Welcome!

    I've found the help from my MFP friends invaluable. This is the only time I've managed to stick to a weight loss programme and really enjoyed life at the same time. I'll send you a friend request. Wishing you all the very best :flowerforyou:
