Hi, I am very new here and I'd love to have some people adding me. :)
I'm Dolly, 5ft6 tall, 148lbs, just turned 20 and now I want to start eating healthier and exercising regularly, to lose the extra weight I've been putting on since I've been on antidepressants. So I want to get to know some of you who may have similar goals.

    I update regularly, and support my friends.
    I too gained a lot of weight taking bipolar meds, and by a lot I mean I went from 150lbs with no body fat to nearly 250 when it was all said and done, and that was over the time span (the first 30+ in two weeks) of less than two months. It crushed me. I got fat, and did not even get to enjoy getting there.

    So, now it is time to lose it all, I mean it is not like life stops right? I am 21 lbs in already since joining mfp doing it the correct way (life style change too) and now have a goal of 175lbs. (I put on a lot of muscle mass).

    Hey Rachel, I can see you have coloured hair, too. Guess we're not too different. :)
