    I’m so glad to see this thread! Because I feel awful😀
    I’ve been on MFP for 8 years. My weight never changed for years then boom! I’ve gained 20 lbs. in the last 4 years.
    It’s awful. I’m on HRT. Which helps but I’m also suffering from depression. Everything has kind of gone down the tank.
    I’ve been going to the gym since May. Had a few starts and stops. But I do enjoy it. I need somebody to say “this is what you need to do”. For a workout for food. I live in a small town and it’s pretty hard.
    Do I try low carb? High protein? I don’t eat a lot in general. I never have. Only about 1300 calories a day. And I gain. It’s frustrating. I just stay in the house.
    Anyway. If anyone has any ideas, I’d be grateful! I need to raise my metabolism. Raise my mood. Taking anti depressants. But it’s not enough.
    Thanks for sharing your stories!
