If you're hungry EAT.. just make sure you're actually hungry and not just thirsty. In my opinion, if you don't have a heart rate monitor I wouldn't eat back every single calorie all the time, but that's just me. Nothing is 100% accurate to how many calories you burn, but MFP has overestimated and underestimated my calories…

I really can't offer much advice simply because I haven't been doing so well myself and I'm no expert. There are many people here who know a LOT about fitness and nutrition. Just please keep in mind that you should experiment until you find what works. If the first thing you try works then keep doing it! If not, don't get…

Start small. If you do everything at once, you'll overwhelm yourself - or at least I did! And don't think of it as a diet.. diets are short term. :) Just experiment with a few things... I'm sure of what time limits you have or what you do during your days.. perhaps start with a 15 minute walk every day or go on youtube and…

I feel for you. I have actually just been in a really rough situation (not AS rough as yours) and I also battle with major depression, for which I refuse to take meds for, anxiety, and constantly being broke. What I can say is that you can find ways to keeping track of your eating and exercising, even if you are completely…

I'd have to agree with everyone in this post, from what I've read, including the OP. From a psychological standpoint it's been proven that SOME people will take discrimination and use it negatively. But there are too many factors involved in each individual to say that this article is 100% true - it depends on the person.…

Great job and accomplishment!

Awesome work!!

Very inspiring thank you for sharing :) You look GREAT!

Absolutely wonderful! Be soooo proud of yourself, you're awesome!

That is AWESOME! A great NSV! I did the same thing. Baby steps is all that matters and its great that you actually like it! :) Keep up the good work

You look absolutely amazing.. and if I wasn't at work I'd be working out right now because your story is SO inspiring. You look even happier then before! I bet it feels surreal sometimes. Even the little things lol Way to go and keep it up!! you look GREAT and this was a much needed motivation for today :)

What everyone else said lol. Last time I got a gym membership I went 4 times in a year and it was waste of hundreds of dollars. Thats MY fault, but I still refuse to buy another membership until I feel I will use it. And if I keep seeing results without it then I wont get one - I may just pay every now and then to go do…

I can't say that I noticed any depression with my metformin..however I have clinical depression as a separate diagnosis, I cant be of much help. I'd google it if I were you..NOT because everything on the internet is true but I find that if I see a bunch of people goin through similar things it's something that may have a…

I'm still trying to figure it out, honestly. Therapy once a month (would go more if i could)... for ME my food addiction comes from past issues from childhood that spiraled out of control. And since I'm a psychology major I am beginning to realize things about myself and my ways of thinking, yet despite all the revelations…

You're doing GREAT! you should be so proud of yourself and I definitely see the progress from your pictures. Good idea with the spreadsheet by the way. Keep it up :)

Positive: determined, compassionate, loyal, silly, funny Cons: glass-half-empty type of personality, trusting, overthinking, self critical

Amen to this! Thanks for sharing your thoughts which are completely true! You got this!

You are doing great and you look great! Keep it up, you're one handsome man!

Wow that's fantastic and you look so amazing! Hope youre more then proud of yourself for such a great accomplishment! Cant wait to be in your shoes someday :) way to go!

You look AMAZING! Great job! :) All that hard worked paying off must be so fantastic for you. And I bet it feels really great when people don't recognize you. Keep it up!

You look amazing and happy! You should be SO SO proud of yourself :) Keep it up!

I'm sorry you feel that way and I feel that way a lot too!! There's no magic answer or advice that anyone can give but there are people here who have experience or the motivation to help encourage you. Just remember, not everything works for everyone. If you were to look at my diary you would see lots of days I didn't log…

Hey! Glad you're here! :) I have lost a little weight so far but I have over 100 to go for my ideal weight of 150 and alittle less for my goal weight of 175. Feel free to add me , I'm using my phone and its not letting me add anyone right now I don't know why.

That's great :) Not great that you got sick but great that you feel you're ready. Everyone gets there on their own time. You'll do great! Just don't be too hard on yourself and ease into it if you need to so there's a good chance you wont feel burnt out quickly. You got this!

WOWZA you look great!!! That is a true inspiration!All your hard work paid off and I bet you feel absolutely fantastic. :) Congrats!

You all look AWESOME! Definitely re motivates me to NOT eat the same way I did today! Truly a great job and kudos for not throwing in the towel and giving up!

awesome job!! I bet you're super excited all that work definitely showed! Even for 20 minutes, Jillian is a beast lol Congrats :)

You're doing so great! Keep it up! :) Hugs!!

Aww I'm sorry you're going through the mental difficulties that comes with being healthier and losing weight. I can't say I'm in the exact same mindset but I am definitely battling depression and for the last 3-4 weeks I've been using it as excuse to not eat as well as I was. What I can say is, that although I'm not a…

Good for you! I'm in the same boat. Hugs :)
