No idea why I'm even posting this. I just wanted to introduce myself I guess. I want to be happy and healthy. So I guess hello

Hi there and Welcome.

MFP is a wonderful resource to use. There are many threads that will help get you started I just wish I knew how to post the links for you to read. Hopefully you will get plenty of other responders here that will be able to help with that.

Get yourself some supportive friends, you are very welcome to add me, although I am much older than you, we do share at the very least that I too have been on medications that do put on weight and I did. That however, was a long time ago and although I am currently on other drugs like steroids for example I am still maintaining my lower weight......yes you do have to maybe change things up a little with the calories in/calories out equation and be extra scrupulous with weighing and exercise but there are ways.....and healthy ways not fads or dangerous.

Patience will be your new buddy.....it may take a bit longer for you to lose the same amount of weight as the next person or you may have to do some fiddling with Macros but IT IS totally doable.

Best of luck.
