I also take Effexor and it's been one of the only ones I've ever tried that doesn't cause weight gain or increased appetite. I've been on it for years now. I'm sorry you're struggling! I find that getting out and doing exercise has helped me mentally. I also keep a journal and keep healthier snacks around.

No one is perfect and this is not something to be ashamed of. If you want, feel free to add me. There's a few things I do to stop from eating too much. At mealtimes I put my fork down between each bite, I drink lots of water through the day and I keep healthier snacks in the house for when I do want to snack on something,…

I'm joining late, but better late than never. I've been challenging myself everyday for about a week now, missed one day so far (Sunday, rest day). I aim to walk a minimum of 50-60 minutes a day and 2 miles. I'm hoping to increase both time and how many miles I walk in that time. I'll update my evening walk tonight.

I have a 3 year old and an 8 week old, this mama is definitely trying to lose the baby weight and even a little more! Lol. I'll add you, I know the struggle.

I had gastric bypass in 2011, feel free to add me if you'd like.

My little chunk is 8 weeks tomorrow, I have a good amount to lose as well. I'll add you mama. Congrats on the baby!

Congrats on the wedding! How exciting. I'll add you, I actually put my wedding on hold once I found out I was pregnant and now I'd like to lose the baby weight before setting a new date.

Congrats on making a change! Feel free to add me if you'd like.

I had gastric bypass in 2011, feel free to add me. I do have 2 kids (which is why I need to lose a bit), but have no problem with those that don't want kids.

I know how you feel girl. I lost 133lbs and gained 60 back from two pregnancies. I added you so we can support each other. It's rough getting there, but feels soooo good when you do!

I'll add you girl. I lost 130lbs and gained some back after having two babies, working hard to lose it again. It'll be good to have people to talk to that understand the struggle lol.

I'm trying to get back in shape after 2nd baby. I can say that the reason I was even able to conceive my first was because I lost weight. I'll add you, we can hold each other accountable and chat if you'd like.

Sometimes just doing it makes you feel so much better afterwards, nice job!!

Haha, that definitely made me laugh - I feel you! I'll be adding you.

I'll be here to cheer you on mama!

I feel the same about the kids. I just want to set a good example for my girls. I was really heavy in my early 20s so I had gastric bypass surgery. I put weight back on from pregnancy, so I'm trying hard to just get back to a healthy weight and maintain. Adding you.

Added :)

Adding you!

I can imagine that must be long days of not eating. I'll definitely add you, I'm jealous you've lost the baby weight lol, I never lost all of it from my first one!

Adding you now, it's always nice having people support you whom you have things in common with.

Thankfully my 3 year old absolutely loves being outside, going for walks, even doing yoga lol. Now if I could just broaden my exercises!
