hello
im a newbie to this site and just wanted to introduce myself and say that i am looking forward to getting to know a few of the members here. i have lost 70 pounds since jan! i actually bought my first size 16 jeans in 10 years last week. so im thrilled about that. i have been on induction since jan and but am starting to get a little discouraged at times. i miss popcorn! i used to eat for comfort and entertainment and now that my closest friend has moved 2000 miles away, im really bored and getting depressed. im new to the indy area and dont know anyone except a few coworkers. any suggestions? i was wondering also if anyone had tried meridia and how it worked. i took it for 3 days and have been so depressed, irritable and uanble to sleep. or maybe its the lack of carbs? i occasionally cheat and eat some fruit or a potatoe so i dont think the low carb is causing my problem. thanks!

Hi Lisa! Congratulations on your success so far! That's amazing! Do you have some before pictures? You don't have to share them with us, but they're nice to have for afterward.

Giving up eating 'for comfort and entertainment' is a real challenge. It seems like we're constantly bombarded with false clues to eat. It's hard to watch a movie, sit at a coffee shop, or go to the mall without wanting to eat - even if we're not hungry. It's tough - but you're doing it!

Enjoy the forum!
