    This I love :)
    It has strictly been just a change of lifestyle and moderation. Going from eating cookies chips pop sausage to eating chicken fish veggies fruit.. and twice a week doing some Aquafit classes =) I do a daily Vlog on youtube and that inspires and motivates others who then tell me and them telling me inspires and motivates me, its a neverending circle of inspiration

    If there's one thing I learned through my years and struggles is that you really do know yourself the best.

    Do I think you'll be just as happy - yes I do.

    Do I think you'll be successful - yes also.

    There's a power to positive thinkig that you just can't bottle or beat.

    Keep going.... you're doing FANTASTIC!!

    This is EXACTLY My point. I know myself the best, Im the one who has been struggling with this depression and BPD. I know how bad it is and I know how to be responsible and what to do to come off of the meds, and i know where ill be a year from now, and I know that there is nothing that can break me! THank you!

    What a great model and inspiration you are for so many others on this journey. I keep saying weight loss is not only about the "physical" but it's about the "mental" as well. You have to be mentally prepared to be this journey. You are off to a fantastic start. Congrats!:smile:

    This is awesome Andy, congrats on feeling better - and thanks for motivating me with your success!!

    For what it's worth - I was on anti-depressants and when I didn't think I needed them anymore, my doc actually told me to go cold turkey. She just said to call her if I thought I needed to go back on. Just goes to show you you can't make blanket statements about anything - each situation is unique :)

    Sorry to hear the difficulties you're experiencing, but don't let them stop you! Keep working at it, and you'll feel better and better! Sometimes, antidepressants can make you feel worse. Exercise provides a natural high. God bless you. I wish you well!

    You prove what a positive attitude can do. In a lot of ways, a scale can be a very negative thing as it helps us harp on the negative. But, you're absolutely right - this is about becoming healthier and feeling better and stronger both physically and mentally. You're an inspiration!
