hello all im angie, i am a 24 year old mother of 2, just had my 24th birhtday and have been trying to figure out my life and why i can't lose weight. i have struggled with my weight since i was 9. before i use to eat out of boredom, then it went to emotional after my parents divorced when i was 13. now i eat all the time out of boredom and emotional or if someone else around me is eating. during my 1st pregnancy i gained 85 pounds, and kept gaining after the birth. then 3 years later i had my second but this time i lost 70 pounds, but have put back on 40 of it. so that is basically why i am here to get support to maybe get back on track and be healthy for me and my kids.

Welcome to the board Angie. You'll find lots of support here. Especially after the new year and people start coming back (it's been rather slow because of the holidays). We all have a long way to go and understand how it can be frustrating to be this much overweight. I wish you luck in your journey. Please post often!
