I have such a hard time wanting to eat anything because of some of the medication I take. I do have a lot of health issues I'm dealing with and having all this extra weight makes it so much harder to get healthy. I have gotten to the point that I've secluded myself and no longer have friends and absolutely don't have any sort of life outside of home. I don't talk to people. I also suffer from severe depression and anxiety and ptsd. I feel lost most days and lack the motivation I need to get on the healing path and healthy lifestyle. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Also do try the cleanse days. You may be better starting by doing only one cleanse day a week.
You don't say what meds you are on, so if you can see your doctor it's best to discuss your weight loss goals in relation to your meds.
Good luck. You can add me as a friend.

Hi! I'm 18, 5'7'' and I'm struggling. I'm trying to lose 100 pounds and am having thyroid problems. Also, why are there so many different opinions when it comes to the healthiest diet to follow?
I supplement the shakes with raw veggies and a little fruit, and some days I'll have grilled fish and a salad. I also eat breakfast every day - 2 boiled eggs and rye toast. I have a feeling I may have to switch that up and start having a shake for breakfast and choosing lunch as the meal I eat.
I find it so hard to lose weight. Since starting Isagenix, at least 4 days a week I am burning about 2000 calories more than I'm eating, plus having minimum one cleanse day per week, and now that the initial weight has dropped, it seems that's what I have to do to lose just one pound. I plateaued after losing 14 pounds and stayed there for almost 10 days before losing the last pound!!! I have another 35 pounds to lose...I don't know how I'm going to do this. I was at 2 parties on the weekend and I barely ate anything - and didn't drink (well on Canada Day I had a glass of champagne) I can't believe how little food I can/need to eat and how much protein I need boggles my mind.

That is awesome! But I have lost 105lbs in 8 month's eating ALL my exercise calories. I was anorexic in high school, so slashing calories is easy, but it has to be healthy and maintainable.0 -

This is my second time on MFP. I did very well before but fell into a fug following a total hysterectomy in 2014 and, in that two years, put everything back on plus 20lb more. Two weeks ago I gathered enough nerve to step back on the scales, dust off my walking shoes and try again. I want to lose at least 110lb. My diary is open, I log every day and any of you can add me.0

Hi! I have lost 42 pounds so far, but I still have 107 to go to get to my goal. I would love to have some determined friends on here!!!!0

Hey everyone! I'm Becca. I'm 5'11" and I started at 302 pounds. I am currently around 225. I would like to get to 180, making it a 122 pound loss. Please add me! I log every single day. I'm also a certified personal trainer.2

Hello! I restarted MFP today. I didn't take it seriously first time around. I'm currently 236 pounds and 5'6", and I'd love to lose 100 pounds, though I'm afraid to think that far ahead! I'm used to either eating whatever I feel like, or going very strict for a short time - porridge made with water, grilled fish and steamed vegetables, so I'm a bit nervous about the moderate 1200 calories a day approach. I'm optimistic though!0

Hi everyone! I'm 5'3 3/4", started at 288+ pounds. Goal weight is 135-140. Praying I can stay on track and get there. But 150+ pounds to lose is very intimidating. So I'm trying to take small goals at a time.0

I started eight pounds heavier than you and my goal weight is the same as yours. I'm almost three inches taller than you, though.
I started at 296 on May 10 (over the previous year I lost ten pounds, so my starting weight was 305, but I started seriously trying on May 10) and I'm down to 273. My dream goal is 135, but I'm not sure if that's possible.1 -
Second time around for me. Started back in March of 2014 at 240 lbs. lost 63 lbs by October 2014. Stayed same weight for months then got pregnant again January 2015 then gained weight slowly at first. Last 3 months of my pregnancy gained quite a bit. By the time I gave birth I was back up to 220lbs. By November 2015, lost some back down to 197lbs but now 208lbs. I'm still breastfeeding my almost 9 month old and struggling to lose again.0

I am 28, and in January of 2015, I weighed 280lbs. I got down to 175 by October of 2015 but have struggled and am back at 220. My goal is to get down to 120lbs. I have always tracked my food here on MFP and am back on track. I just want to surpass my lowest weight and keep shrinking! I'm aiming for 10-15lbs a month and typically don't eat over 1000 calories a day when I am restricting and on track.
I am on day one if anyone wants to join me. Goodluck everyone! We will hit our goals!!!0 -
I am 56 years old and this is my second go at this. Lost 100 pounds and gained 80 of it back. Down 15 so far. The goal is possible....just have to reach for it!

Hi, I am 29, 5-4 and have 100lbs and mabye more to loose. I have lost about 7lbs so far. Looking to make longterm lifestyle changes not just another diet. Looking for some great friends to stay motivated!1

I am starting at 415lbs (ugh!) and would like to get down to 200lbs. It's not an "ideal" weight but it feels much more attainable right now than aiming for 120lbs or whatever.

Hello all! I am 34 years old, and have 100+ lbs to lose. I am currently 265. I've been overweight my entire life, but my lowest was around 198, after loosing almost 80 lbs 8 years ago on another website. Slowly over the last 8 years, after a divorce, being single again, dating and a new husband, the weight has slowly came back on. I've been trying admittedly halfheartedly for the past year to get some weight loss. My husband is overweight too and is a great support, also trying to lose weight himself. I'm struggling with motivation. We have a vacation planned to Hawaii in Sept and that was my initial motivator but I am hesitant to let logging food, counting calories, etc. run my life again. When I lost the 80 lbs before, I was consumed with the weight loss process. It worked but I also wasn't happy.0
