  • Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I had to get off Abilify for depression due to it causing me to gain weight. But they work differently for every body.

  • Thanks! I'm making an appointment with my GP to discuss insulin meds, since she had just called in the statin to the pharmacy (instead of calling me) after reading the report.

  • I am also taking medication that makes you gain weight. Unfortunately, it is for depression/anxiety which has been getting worse. The doctor has had to up the dose. It is making it hard for me to lose those pounds as well, even with following when eating 1,200 calories, doing MFP, and walking the treadmill 3x a week. I am…

  • I have a 5K that I plan to walk on September 1st. I started out on the treadmill taking it s-l-o-w. Now I have more stamina.

  • I LOVE Skinny Cow's cone sundaes. They taste just like Drumsticks (even have the chocolate piece at the bottom of the cone!). My favorite is vanilla ice cream with caramel topping.

  • I'm right there with you. Have suffered with depression and anxiety most of my life. I see a cognitive-behavioral therapist weekly (basically she works on how our thoughts shape our feelings and behavior). I am also still on medication for the depression. I tried once to come off it but I reacted so badly that I needed to…
