Introductions!
Everyone introduce yourselves! Hi, I'm Catherine, and I'm pretty new to weight loss and MFP, but I've had depression for ages. It didn't help with weight gain, of course, and it really kills my motivation for basically anything. I'm on good meds now (Viibryd!) but I'm not taking this energy for granted; I'm using it to get…

And I…

Weight-Losers versus Depression!
I have started a new group called Weight-Losers versus Depression. Would anyone like to join? Depression can lead to weight gain and often the lack of energy and motivation make it very hard for people with depression to work out and eat right. Anyone at all is welcome to join, no diagnosis needed - my goal is for us to…

The Struggle
Anyone want to share the past roadblocks and hardships? We are all here to lend a sympathetic ear and give each other emotional support. I will be happy to start.

Low-cal but filling meals?
I'm wondering if anyone has any Low cal meal or snack options that they can share, I just don't know what to buy that is filling but won't make me go over my calorie budget. Today I thought nuts were a good idea...turns out they are very high calorie! Oops! I am allergic to artificial sweeteners (and they're awful anyway)…

Recovering veggie needs help
Hi all, I was a vegetarian for several years but I gave it up since I was becoming anemic, but ever since then I can barely eat meat. I have a couple of bites and I just feel sick. This is every kind of meat, fish or chicken or steak or whatever, simply because my system isn't used to it. The problem is I need protein and…

New here, struggling with asthma - could use some support! :)
Hi everyone! I'm 5'4", CW 175, GW 150. I am 23. I used to teach Tae Kwon Do so I was very active and gained a lot of muscle but I took a break for school and in the interim my asthma got so bad that I can't really exercise anymore. As soon as my heart rate elevates, I can't breathe and it feels like someone's sitting on my…
