Hi.....I have been through Weight Watchers, journaling what I eat, switched to only fruits and vegetables for two weeks and felt depressed even though I lost weight. I've been trying for 17 years and I would like to be able to look into a mirrorand see ME again. I'm optimistic that MFP is gonna be my Daisy.....:smile:

    I can imagine you felt depressed after 2 weeks of only fruits and vegetables. You can't survive on only fruits and vegetables.

    Also when you stop eating the things you love, you start getting depressed. It's important to change your lifestyle, eat healthier, reach your daily calorie goal. But not so drastic. You can always eat the things you love, just try to eat them less often. This way it's easier to keep up with it for a life time. Cause just a few weeks won't let you lose weight on the long run.

    I'm new here too.

    I know the frustration of being on a diet and feeling depressed or disappointed. I tried Jenny Craig a couple of years ago, I hated it.

    Hello and welcome! This site has great people and great support. I do agree switching to just fruits and vegetables may be a little too much for most.

    Good Luck in your journey and feel free to add me - I am here every day.

    Hello..... I've tried for the past 10 years to get the weight off by myself with no luck! I was searching online for new ideals when I came across mfp. So I said to myself .......Self and myself said what on your mind today? I replied.... We have tried everything want to try this and myself said what would it hurt to get some support we've tried everything else and maybe just maybe we will learn something and make friends along the way. So here we are!: tongue:
