Default Hello from Lilly! =)

Hello!

My name is Lilly, I'm 16 years old, and I am new here. I am very shy, and i'm not very good at talking so I hope you'll forgive me

I first started dieting at age 13 (dont panic, I was really heavy, I needed it!!) , and lost 3 stone in 6 months with Weight Watchers. I then left, and managed to keep the weight off for a while. However I was put on antidepressants, as well as another medication for anxiety, about 6 months ago - and I put the weight all back on.
I don't know whether it was the medication or my own sloppiness that did it (I acknowledge that I was getting increasingly sloppy as I went on), but i'm ready and determined to lose it all again and more, and keep it off this time!

My local Weight Watchers meeting is on Tuesday evenings, so yesterday I made the decision that I was going to do it and this time i'd succeed. I'm going tomorrow to sign up again, and if I drop out again, I said they can bonk me over the head with a cute squeaky pink inflatable hammer and tell me off. But seriously. I wont drop out this time.

I love to speak to anyone, and even if i'm not good at speaking, I love listening. I hope we can be friends! I hope to finally live up (or.. down? ) to my name and be Little Lilly Little!

Hugs!

Lilly L

Hey Lilly, and

Have you found our Weight Watchers forums yet? We have areas for flex and core plans, so there are plenty of places to look for advice and suggestions.

We also have a Depression and Weight Issues forum. Depression presents its own unique challenges when it comes to weight loss, and it can be great to have a spot to discuss those challenges with people who understand. Check it out!

We also have a Teens thread you might be interested in.

Wherever you decide to settle, just jump in and keep posting. Can't wait to get to know you better!

Hi Lilly and welcome.

I just wanted to say that I'm glad you're here. It's wonderful to meet a young person who is willing to take a smart, healthy approach to weight loss.

Lilly, you sound just lovely.
I've an 18 year old daughter who's been on depression meds since the age of 12. It's difficult adjusting to different meds.
We're so glad to have you here.
