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.

Add me I'm looking to lose the same amount. I just re-started my diary today after a lay off. My diary tends to be kinda boring tho....;)

You look GREAT well done! May I ask how you managed to "break up" with bad habits? TIA!

OP - antidepressant medication is known to have weight gain as a side effect. Do your research. I was prescribed a low dose AD for chronic pain and gained about 50 lbs after being the same normal weight my entire life. It causes weight gain by increasing appetite and cravings, and slowing down metabolism. The Dr. offered…

This is an old thread, but yeah anti depressants are known to cause weight gain just spend some time researching it. I was prescribed a nasty tricyclic for chronic pain some years ago. I was never over weight my whole life a healthy 140 lbs 5' 6" athletic build. I started gaining immediately on that med - it not only…

Right. The name of the FDA approved drug for compulsive over eating or binge eating disorder is called Vyvanse which is usually prescribed for ADD/ADHD. It's similar to Adderall in that it's some kind of amphetamine combo.

It all depends. It's always better to avoid drugs, but some people have eating disorders such as binge eating or compulsive eating, for which the FDA approved a type of amphetamine in the category of Adderall. Also Topimax is prescribed. For some people it's not a matter of will power - it's a brain chemistry issue. I…

How do you know that's not true? When I do bench aerobics or Zumba for an hour my clothes are drenched and I'm breathing hard. I wasn't sure how to log it so looked at several sources. They all said the burn was around 800 cals. Since I walk to the gym (about 35 minutes each way) I include that in the cardio total, which…

Riding again. As my reward I'm booking an 8 day mobile horseback riding safari in Kenya, Africa. (Next year - 35 lbs from now)

I agree about not sweating the lettuce. OTOH, some of the biggest mammals on this planet eat only greens - Elephant, Rhino.... Hippos:)

I'm relatively new and have to figure out how to add - but please add me! Would love some inspiring low cal recipes. I've got a few - just need to add them somehow. Tonight I made an awesome recipe with lean ground turkey and swiss chard. The spices make it seem Indian inspired and complicated, but it's very easy and…

OP - I know a lot about PD my spouse has young onset. You should see your neurologist and make sure your meds are optimized. By meds I mean dopamine replacement if you are on that. Before my husband's PD meds were optimized, he had all kinds of pain issues, including what you're describing. On the correct dose of sinemet,…

Hi there I'm not in a wheelchair but I take meds for chronic neuropathic pain. One of the meds caused me to gain 50 lbs. I switched doctors and was prescribed a different med that works beautifully with no side effects or weight gain. When I stopped the weight gain med, the weight melted away - I just ate normally. Point…

Oh I can't keep any of that stuff in the house. Some kind of sugar addiction or something. I won't go out of my way to buy the stuff but if it's in the house forget it, it's not gonna last. My family respect this and have the sweet stuff elsewhere, bcs the alternative (me gaining weight) is a lot harder on them bcs I'm so…

OP - I have been where you are. I think you're over training and eating way too little . You mentioned your hair was falling out. Given that intense training schedule you need to eat more than 1200 calories! I attempted a similar thing and didn't lose 1 pound in SIX months. Talk about frustrated. So I bought 2 digital…
