Yes! This is me. I was beginning to think I was the only one whose depression caused a lack of appetite and the opposite of overeating. I know I should be eating but sometimes it is all I can do to wake up, go to work, come home and cater to my young kids. I am last. and that includes meals, sleep, anything that I need to…

i forgot to log over the weekend, so i do it today so i can see my week accurately. Guess i only had one meal Saturday and a deficit of 900 calories....I don't even remember being hungry. My energy levels have slowly been increasing. and my accountability is easier at work but i can't figure out how to take care of myself…

hahah, yes this ^^^ I was always being told "i want to lose some weight, but i don't want to look like you/lose as much as you" by women 3-4x bigger than me. Geez. You can imagine the tables turned there. I just shrugged it off, i thought i looked fabulous and knew i was at a healthy weight for me and my own build. Body…

gosh people can be so mean, but @blankiefinder is right. try your best to make healthy choices. i feel for you. I was preventing too but since only abstinence is 100%, i became pregnant last october after losing 26lbs and dropping from size 13 to size 2. it hit me hard. i made myself miserable about it and i made people…

it definitely can worsen the depression if you go through the pregnancy and birth all alone, that's for sure. but i think most cases of ppd are very similiar in trait and very unlike mine. idk though but either way, it's depression and it sucks the life out of me one way or another. i have like no "me" time since it's just…

oh that's terrible too. But i was 5'7 and 164 wanting to be about 130. i was around halfway there when she would do this. she is 5'2 and 250 so even before i started losing she couldn't necessarily put me down. she just made me feel bad, guilty etc. but they are in control of their own lives, they need to live them happily…

learn who is jealous and unwilling to listen. i talk about it; but i know not to around my sister. she is very jealous, and she is overweight and very unmotivated to change it. so, when i talk about it around her i get remarks like "if you are overweight i must be a whale". I can't feel successful around her, or feel the…

thanks @MikeDee_ny I have a lot of roadblocks that I didn't have last year but hopefully i will find my way soon.

Pictures are so motivating! The first one is me over a few years. I would yo-yo with loss until the last year (2014). The second picture shows that well--me in the same dress at very different times. I was so successful. And the last picture shows the undoing. from success, back to square one but worse. I needed to see…

@soulofgrace that is definitely what I am experiencing now with being so run down; not taking care of myself has made my situation so much worse (and I am now fighting a case of bronchitis on top of it). But you are right, I need to do this for myself but my kids are a big motivator too and maybe I can make some small…

it depends on your goals-but when i was close to my total loss goal last year and wanting to tone, i did 30/40/30 as in carbs/protein/fat. days where you work out, you may switch it up to 40/30/30 but the recommendation is usually not to go under 30 for fat

I may try the schedule thing. I wake up super early for work, and feed the baby but not my oldest daughter as she rides the bus to school from daycare and eats there.....so sometimes during the week i only eat lunch. I sometimes even make a dinner small enough for my daughter knowing as soon as it is done i am going to the…

ditto. i delete about half of all photos and was really picky on doing professional ones but my son deserves photos with mom like my daughter had. it's just super emotional

i should add, i have talked to my dr. she tested my glucose, tested me for mono, thyroid, anemia. she told me to take a multivitamin and iron pill and i am. but not much has changed in those three weeks so far. i asked my OB to test me for a hormonal imbalance and she said she could not. she said since i have progesterone…

I didn't read all seven pages of comments but I read enough to know this is the thread and the support I have been looking for. My depression was diagnosed 8 years ago and it literally had no impact on me losing weight last year. I lost 26lbs. I worked out 3 to 5 days a week. I did meal prep. logged in everyday for 285…

Fun!

yes, this is what i was thinking and needing to validate too! i guess the first person who suggested upping my calories never mentioned lowering my goal and i needed to make sure putting that piece into the puzzle was the right move! thank you!
-
this is excatly what i feel i needed! thank you! I will try this. I guess achiving .5lb lost a week is better than setting up for 1lb per week and not losing it. :wink:
