Well said! Thank you very much!

It definitely helps and if you find the right one it is worth it for sure. You don't have to be on medication until you die, though, some people find that they can handle depression on their own with diet and exercise (after getting the permission from their doctor of course), some people find that when they go through…

That's exactly what we are here for! Friend me if you like and you can talk to me anytime, okay? I used to work at a mental hospital so no judgment whatsoever (also a regular hospital if that's what you meant instead).

I love yoga too! :D Tell me more about this vegan junk food...I did not think that was a real thing....

Aww that was kind of sucky of them. I mean I understand, but it's still kind of mean. Lots of people do nanny-sharing where one person takes the kids one day and the other takes the kids another day. This is kind of a disappointment because I always assumed if I accidentally got pregnant then it would be no big deal to…

You are right, no one can give you self-worth but yourself. but you are definitely on the right track. Don't worry, we are here to support you! You can do it! Especially now that you have a good medication. That made all the difference for me. Are you a Maximum Ride fan btw?

What a roller coaster! I am very proud of you for how hard you fought and how strong you've been :smile: You can do it!!! So much progress!!!

Agreed on the sexy thing :wink: That's how I feel about it too. And good for you! Your daughter is adorable, it's so great what you are doing for her and for you!

That is awesome! I actually work as a nanny right now, and it is the best job in the world. My little one is the same age as yours in the picture (and by the way that baby is the cutest baby in the universe :heart: ) Yay for lots of babies! I am obviously obsessed.

You guys... YUM. I am loving this. Not so much all the pepper talk, but everything else sounds delicious! Spaghetti also turned out to be a good option. I make my own sauce, which apparently is pretty healthy according to MFP, and I got so full so fast. And it's so good leftover! And I can put cheese on it! I did not know…

Hey, it's fine - what am I going to do with this much attention anyway? :tongue: Looks like everyone here is giving us the same advice: maybe keep them moisturized with oil or cocoa butter or something, but they're here to stay nonetheless, so learn to love them. I mean, how ashamed should anyone really be of pregnancy…

Welcome welcome welcome! I am also very new to this hardcore diet and exercise stuff, so you are not alone :smile: You are doing a great thing by coming here to create a better you. It's a process, of which weight loss and healthier eating is only a small part, and it can be very cathartic. I used to work in a mental…

You are doing the right thing by coming here and trying to lose weight. It's not that you need to be skinny to be happy, and I think you know that - it is that you are changing yourself for the better in many ways, and that can be very cathartic. You aren't the same person you were once, and you never will be; that's the…

I'm so glad it helps to talk about it, and we are here to support you for sure :smile: I'm not sure what country you're in, but I'll try and give you some universal advice. 1) stay in touch with your family. They are bound to you by blood and they will support you no matter what. It's not just something people say, there's…

Thanks so much! Couldn't figure out how to do that. I have added you all!

Aww thank you guys! That is very sweet! Hopefully you're right because I live in Texas and people who don't wear shorts usually die of hyperthermia >.<

Yay!!!

Aww thank you guys! That is very sweet! Hopefully you're right because I live in Texas and people who don't wear shorts usually die of hyperthermia >.<

>.< I lol'd. This guy is really into samurais

He thinks that real men shouldn't smile in pictures

By all means! Added!

I'll go first! Short-term, I want to get through the next semester of nursing school. Long-term, I want to be a nursing midwife and help people pop out some babies :wink: Getting healthier is a sort of side goal, but very important to me. Lately everything has been going really well, and the only residual effects of my…

Added and added!

That's me!! I'm 23 and I am trying to lose 25 pounds. Friend me?

They're right too - you HAVE to find cardio you like. For me it was tae Kwon do! It was so fun and my teachers really pushed me and before I knew it I was a slab of pure muscle! If I could find another studio even half as good I would not be on this forum right now, I would be kicking someone's butt :3 and I HATE exercise.…

You look fabulous!!! Would you like to join my group, weight-losers against depression? I'm overcoming it too and I thought others could use the encouragement and support of an understanding community :)

I had that moment the other day! The jeans used to be uncomfortably tight after drying, but now they're the perfect fit! Hopefully soon I'll reach my goal of them falling off! ^.^

I'm not engaged yet, but I know he's going to ask any day now :) that's why I'm trying to lose weight, to get a jump start on it! Good luck everyone!

What he said. I used to have a daily prescription for it and i would get really productive in the morning, then really irritated, and I wouldn't be able to sleep without medication. I lost weight, but only because I was eating like 200 calories a day. It is basically legalized cocaine and you should take it with caution.

In my experience, you have to force yourself to do it at the start, but once you fall into a routine it'll get much better. Exercise at least every other day, and soon you'll start to feel a big difference in your energy and such and you'll notice it if you take a break from exercise. However, that's just me; I'd love to…
