Hi there. As the title says, I'm new to the forum. I've been overweight since I was about 15/16 years old and am now 23. The reason has simply been that food has been my way of coping with anything negative in my life. As my problems got worse, my weight got higher. I reached my peak weight a couple years ago at approximately 265 pounds. Things in my life have turned for the better now and I've found better ways of coping, but the overeating is a hard habit to break. My hope is to lose about 75 pounds by May (I'm going to be the Maid of Honour in a friend's wedding) and then be down 100 pounds by August. I'm 5'9, so I think 155 is a reasonable goal. Wish me luck!
