Welcome!  I've found this site incredibly helpful, so I hope you will as well.  I started suffering from depression when I was 13, so I can understand some of what you're dealing with.  I've noticed since I started taking care of myself that I feel fewer depression symptoms when I exercise regularly...something to keep in mind anyway.  Hope to see more on your progress...and good luck!

Official Welcome #2! As lisarose said, exercise definitely helps with depression. I sometimes must force myself to exercise (like right now!), but ALWAYS feel better after and that feeling lasts.

When you have a few minutes to spare, read through the forums, a lot of what people talk about will resonate with you. I started back here in April - after not really trying hard enough in the past - and find that reading a little bit every day keeps me motivated and interested in continuing this weight-loss "journey". Congrats on getting started! Stick around, do the work and you're going to do so well! Good luck!
