Hello all,
Just joined mfp today. I been struggling with my weight all my life. Also i have major depression. The medication I was put on caused me to gain 100 pounds within 3 years. Well, I have stopped taking the medication and need to turn my life around ASAP. Tired of feeling sad, tired and unmotivated. I was also in a very bad car accident so it is very hard for me to exercise right now. I would love the support of new friends that are also struggling. Together we can do this.

I feel you, I also am on depression/bipolar meds that i feel added to my weight. Just be sure you will be okay stopping them- have you tried talking to your doctor about other choices that may have a lesser side effect? Anyways, glad you joined.. I recently did too & I have found this site is very motivating. Tracking everything seems to be helping me tons on getting going instead of putting it off.
Good luck!!!!0 -
You can do it! Just begin to thing different. Don't think about your mental state and how it effects your abilities. Think about your goals and how you can reach them. Make a small goal each day and then build from their. Your MFP family is here for you. You will do this and you will find healing.0

I second that, really couldn't have said it better.
First you have to start to believe in yourself. You can do it and here you will get all the support you need to stay motivated. Don't let the weight control your life - I know it is easier said than done, I am struggling with the same problem and I am sure so do others - but make sure that you reach the weight you want to to feel happy and to be healthy.
feel free to add me0
