I just wanted to come introduce myself....I'm Nina. I'm 25 and I live in Milwaukee, WI.

I have finally decided to go on a diet after about 3 years of being overweight. I guess the real reason I have waited so long is because (not to give a sob story) I am a recovered anorexic....After I began eating normally my weight ballooned to 135ish from 85lbs within (seriously) one year... so even tho I went from being underweight to over, I really didn't want to diet or excercise anymore.

Now I feel in control of my disorder enough, and have been eating normally enough, to choose a healthy weight loss program for myself. My goal is a thin but healthy 110lbs.

I would appreciate any support I could find and love to give some in return.

Hi Nina
I was anorexic when I was 15/16; got down to 84 lbs and went 9 months w/o a period so I know what it's like. I'm 51 now so that was back when no one really knew what it was. Anyway, this definately is they way to go. You sound like you have a realistic goal. I wish you the best of luck.
