in Motivation and Support
Hi I'm danielle a single mother of two amazing boys. I had lost about 160 lbs but gained a little over 50 back when I went thru a very bad depression. I'm trying to get back on the horse and stay on it! However its hard when you don't have much support. So I'd really appreciate some tips and pointers maybe some encouraging words

    Hi,
    I need to lose about 100 lbs, have a son with autism, am married, and struggle with depression. I take antidepressants and my psychiatrist has been encouraging me to exercise for a number of years--so I'll feel better, lose weight, and he can reduce / taper me off of them. I just haven't been able to push myself to get moving for the longest time. Until now:)

    we are the same I had lost over 170 pounds but found myself slipping back into my old habits. Its frustrating, this time around it seems so hard to lose. I eat and watch my calories so close, I just need that extra level of support and motivation. Feel free to add me anyone!!! these thirty pounds have to go.
