How bout an Instant Pot?
-
THIS. I just recently got an Instant Pot. Meals are now so easy and fast. I love the "set it and forget it" option. You could use one in a hotel very easily. Made Morrocan Chicken a couple nights ago and it was soooooo good I couldn't believe it - and so easy/no fuss. If you don't mind eating the same thing, one Instant…

Exactly.

My diary is open feel free to add.

Hi Op - I took both of those things together for years with no issues. The thyroid problem never seemed to affect my weight but I had (still have) a lot of trouble with binge eating and the Phentermine helped with that..... until it didn't. The problem is you develop a tolerance to it and then it looses effectiveness. I…

Yes. Not Lexapro but weight gain with psych meds is common. I tried a few to help me get to sleep BCS of a sleep disorder. The latest was Seroquel and caused not only increased appetite but uncontrollable binging. I gained a quick 20 lbs it's the reason I'm here. I stopped it and now am on a low dose of Trazodone at night…

Can you believe this isn't sold anywhere in NYC :/ I may have to drive to NJ and load up.

First off very sorry about your loss. I'm on 1260 cals and my diary is open if you'd like feel free to add me. I do eat at least half my exercise cals back.

Wow you look amazing - great job! :-)

LoL same here! I had to train him for sure, and usually when he cooks it's with meal kits, but last night he totally shocked me by printing a fish recipe off the internet, running out to pick up the ingredients, and then cooking it from scratch while I was at Zumba. And it turned out delish. But seriously, when Cosmo says…

Congrats! Lord and Taylor is great if there's one near you, and I second TJ Maxx and Marshalls. After all your hard work you deserve some nice fitting clothes, that's why I would skip the thrift shop routine. Also Nordstrom's might be an option. Have fun creating a new look for the new you!

I am blown away by the number of women holding full time jobs and still have to do everything related to kids, housework, grocery shopping, cooking.....the list is endless. And then fit in fitness time! What's wrong with your husbands? Mine cooks half the week and shares grocery shopping too, so I can have gym time.

Sounds like a nice trip how was it?!
-
I'm in. We're about at the same place with the same amount to lose.
-
Friend me if you like. Sometimes I go a little overboard with logging, but then I take a break and it works out. I have certain foods that I binge on and I just don't keep them around ever. It's the only thing that works for me. I won't make a special trip to go get ice cream for example, but if it's in the house I'll eat…

Hi add me, mines open but kinda boring :)
-
WOW great job! Add me I've got another 25 to go.

Well the question was about Seroquel and weight gain. Google the side effects - that's one of them. Talk to your doctor maybe there is something else you can try. And yes you can gain weight even doing all the right things - it happened to me. Stopped the med 20 lbs fell off - not possible BCS I was eating a lot. Just goes…
-
Sorry to hear your condition is worse. Many psych meds can cause weight gain - the only reason I'm on here is weight gain due to a psych med. You could Google and see what the stats are, or the only real way of knowing is trying and see what happens. I wish you well.

WOW you're one month progress pics look awesome! Please add me especially if you have an open diary - I'm in a food rut but your pics are inspiring!

I'm at 1300 feel free to add.

I vacationed in Barcelona for two weeks last fall and should have gained weight but didn't. We were staying in an Airbnb, so would pick up something from the local market for bfast and lunch, but we went to local places every night for dinner. The locals sat down for dinner after 9:30 p.m., we regularly are three course…

OP - I have been following this thread and feel for you. You said you are in the medical field so I'm just going to throw this out there FYI and not to start a controversy..... But....The whole notion that weight loss is purely CICO is controversial. Do your own research - there's a lot of evidence that CICO is outdated…
-
I know your diary is probably "open" but I don't see a way to see it?
-
WOW that's some list - would love to see your diary!

Is that your horse in your profile pic? Beautiful! So sorry about the news. I am a fellow equestrian and one of my horses had a 6 month layoff in the stall. Vet said he'd never be sound enough to ride again but he healed just fine. I put a goat in his stall with him to keep him company :) Regarding the binge as others have…

I'm just the opposite and I live in the Northeast. I always gain weight in the summer due to backyard BBQS, beer, music festivals (more beer) and it's too nice out to be inside a gym. I'm always at my leanest come April, after I've been working out all winter and not socializing so much. I tend to eat the same boring stuff…

WOW! Thanks for the inspiration! Sexy :). How long did it take?!

Add me! I've been back on the fitness wagon since December. I belong to the Y and do lots of group fitness classes, I also strength train with a personal trainer and I try to run a mile a few times a week but I hate running. Have 40 lbs to lose.
