I've been going through forum and forum on the internet to find a group of people I want to do my journey with.
You guys seem great (and the geek part of me appreciates the use of a REAL forum).
I am 26 and currently suffer from depression and do have kidney disease. While I can't kick my kidney disease/damage, I want to make my body healthy so I can be allowed to try and have kids in a few years.
I also think that aside from getting chemicals balanced in my body, that the journey of getting down to a healthy weight can help kick some of my situational depression to the curb.
We have all sorts of forums for how much you need to lose, religious, eating plans, etc...just browse around and hop in where you want. Everyone here is pretty much helpful and friendly
