Hi everyone,

My name is Nicky and I am brand new to My Fitness Pal. Actually, I made an account a while back but didn't really stick with it. I have gained about 20 pounds in the past year due to some anti-depressants I took. I am now freshly off of those awful meds and ready to lose some weight and feel good about myself again!!

I look forward to hearing some success stories and possibly find some people dealing with anti-depressant related weight gain and hear their stories too.

    Yes!! I had the same issues with the antidepressants. I quit taking them last fall and most of the weight I have lost since then I attribute to not taking those awful meds anymore. I have also made some other positive changes that have allowed me to keep working towards my goal. Welcome back and good luck! I just started this up again today too. :)

    Welcome! I didn't take meds but I attribute much of my weight gain to a chronic depression I suffered with for years. Eating healthy contributes to my emotional health immensely and I'm getting there slowly but surely! I'd like to cheer you on in your journey! Sending you a friend request.
