Hi everyone! I'm really glad I found your group!! I think it is great that it is here on MFP.
I'm feeling real vulnerable even mentioning my psychiatric conditions. I'm not used to even bringing them up with anyone, other than my great psychiatrist, who I've been with for 15 years!
I gained a ton of weight on Seroquel and not caring what I ate, and not exercising at all. Now, I'm looking at things differently and I'm so glad!!!! I'm eating better and trying to exercise every day, & go to the gym every other day. My Dr took me off of Seroquel for a while, due to my blood sugar and my diabetes. I was hospitalized at a good hospital that even exercised the patients and I requested my ground up flax seed and they let me have it for meals. Between all that, I lost 26 lbs during my 46 day stay at the hospital,!
Then, on May 24, 2012, I joined MFP and I've lost 71 lbs since then, and this is while I've been back on Seroquel XR!!! I have lots more weight loss to go and I've even signed up for 2 challenges until the end of the year to help me out. I'm here to loose weight, & be supportive of others!!!
