Hey Chicklet and welcome
One of the best things I find about these forums is that it makes you realise that you're not alone in this weight battle
I have about 70 lbs to lose myself!
I also suffer from depression, which I think is definitely made worse by feeling out of control because of rapid weight gain this past year.
Its awesome that you've taken the step to lose weight and get healthy.
I think one thing you might get a lot of inspiration from is taking a look at the goals page, some of the pics of the women who have achieved their weight loss are AMAZING!!
Nice meeting u and Best of luck !!!
