Hello everyone - My name is Amber and I'm starting back with MFP fresh for the New Year. I spent 2017 saying that I would "start tomorrow" with getting healthy again and honestly, I'm at the point where it's now or never.

I've battled with postpartum depression and used food as my primary coping mechanism. I have a super supportive husband who's behind me 100% but added support in the MFP community would be fantastic.

I have about 45lbs to lose. I used to run marathons and was a super active person... I've turned into a bit of a slug and I'm done with the pity party. It's time to act!

    Amber, I am Greg and I understand your situation. My wife battled the postpartum blues but I as a understanding husband enabled her to continue in that mode of behavior for about a year. In the end, she relieved the depression by medication for a short time. It really changed things.

    Over the past 12 months my wife has lost 85 lbs. Which made her very happy. she simply tracked here calories on MyFitnessPal and kept close to her calorie count...no major lifestyle change...this she said was easier. It certainly worked for her she looks great and more importantly she feels great.

    Get started and stay determined.
