Life isn't going well. I need this.
I've been depressed for a few years now, and body image, confidence and self-esteem is more of less in the centre of my issues. Last few months I've been at my lowest. Even speaking to professionals and being on medication just isn't doing anything for me. It's getting worse. I went on a diet last year, which lasted around…

Does/did losing weight change your personality?
I've been wondering this for the last few weeks, so why not ask in the best place possible? Did losing weight change your personality in any way? In any way at all, from happier, more confident (which I hope to become), calmer etc? I'm interested to know. Thanks!

Medical question...
(I do plan on making a GP appointment either way, I'm just worried on what it could be at the moment) So, I've been having a pain on my left hand side, between the very bottom of the ribs to just underneath them. Feels sharp and sometimes like a dull pain. Doesn't hurt any more or less when I breath in deep. I had my…

Looking for some friends.
I've been trying to find the motivation to start turning my life around for some time now. It recently hit me that everything in my life needs to change and that it all circles right back round to my weight and confidence. So, for the first time in my life, I've just worked out. Although it wasn't a huge amount of time (11…

About The Stomach...
I'm a bit worried about my stomach and how much has been lost from it, so I was wondering for some help. I started at 206 pounds, and have now dropped to 160. My worry is that my stomach (to me anyway) looks almost the same as it did when I started. I can notice my arms, my legs (a little) and my face has lost weight, but…

When have you shown willpower?
What is the most significant time you can remember fighting a food temptation? I'm interested to know. Mine was just after I found out I have some medical issues, which made me start to really ruin my diet. A few weeks in, I decided I should really be doing the exact opposite of what I was doing, and so started to re-limit…

Needing friends to motivate each-other!
I've been here for around 3 months now, but I'd really like some more friends, so that we could motivate each-other when needed. I've been "yo-yo'ing" at the moment, which I can't seem to get out of, so having a few people to yell when I mess up is just when I need. And I really want to help others when they need it too.…

Unmotivated...
At first I was going to post something on the lines of this as a blog post, but a forum post seemed more suitable. Over the last few days I've been feeling really unmotivated to do anything, mainly to lose weight. All the same reasons to why I want to lose weight still stand strong, but I just don't feel as motivated as…

Mutual Support!
I've been on MFP for almost a month now, added a few friends along the way, who've been real helpful so far. But was reading an article that was saying how having a support system can really help lose weight, and keep you on track. So, if you want to add me, I'd really appreciate it! I'm more than happy to motivate and…

Christmas Time Weigh-ins
So, tomorrow is the 26th, which is the first time since the 18th that I'll be weighing in. I'm rather worried about this weigh-in for a few reasons. Firstly, it was my birthday on the 21st, which I went out with friends to celebrate for. Needless to say I didn't watch my in-take that day. And then of-course Christmas day,…

My First Weigh-in!
So, I've been trying to lose weight for some time now, but recently I've really pushed myself into getting serious about it. Last Saturday, I stepped on a scale for the first time in quite awhile. to see that I'm 14 stone 10, which, I'm not happy with what-so-ever. I really started to have a long hard think, and decided to…
