    Hi Kristen. Feel free to add me as a friend. I think you will find all the support you need on this website. It's wonderful. I have been on since the end of January and have lost 23lbs. I've gotten more support from my MFP friends, most of whom I don't even know, than I have from some of my own friends. These people are incredible.

    Keep you chin up! :flowerforyou:

    Kristen you will find so much support on here! i get as much out of giving support as receiving it.
    Weight gain do to MEDS has to be something so difficult to deal with so props on staying positive.
    You have your goal and I know you can get there in time. Just keep chipping away at it everyday and days will turn into months.
    I am excited to see your progress. Keep the Faith!
