ok so... then i wonder what it could be. I mean the only thing i can think of is the antidepressant.

thats the problem i have now. Im on citalophram and im beginning to think its the reason for my weight gain. Nothing i do can stop the gain.

Ok so some more info. All is in grams because that was the easiest option on my weight scale so that I can follow the nutrition info of the food I buy. I scan anything with a bar and I eat exactly what is weighed. According to iifym, I should be eating that amount of food for my body type and goal. As for the diary that…

after i wake up once a week. doing it multiple times is pointless

gotcha. well im 210. want to reach 180 or below. so i will continue on

yeah... thats the only reason why i was weary of doing the scale measurements as i didnt think i would see much if i was strength training

also, will i see weight loss even though im still lifting? just wondering since most say muscle weighs more than fat. Will that be an issue or not?

smart thinking. yeah i will begin the scale measuring.

i want to get down with the women is his videos... heyyyoooooo dale!!!

i will start monitoring via scale. I wasnt because i wanted to see if inches were coming off instead of scale. guess i was looking at it wrong

ok because thats what i was wondering. While i feel strong and feel like im getting stronger, im not seeing the definition results so im thinking im not burning the fat. thats pretty much why i asked the question and apologize i didnt add this to the beginning

but with this, you most likely wont be able to see the results of the strength training correct or am i wrong?

sorry to hijack the thread and i will start my own

i just want to burn fat. Are you saying if i eat at a deficit while strength training, i wont see much results on muscle?

you said rest? can you elaborate? i ask because how does rest fall into fat burning?

all of this!

im on citalophram 20 mg. I have gained weight since. I have made the decision to begin coming off of it this fall.

i use the bar code as much as i can

lmao

true but my waist size is what pains me. i got down to a 34 and now back to 36. sucks but i will try my best

i will try again. if anyone doesnt mind being a coach, friend request me. I want to make sure i know someone else who is on these meds can see what im doing or if im doing something wrong

ok thanks peeps. it was months ago that i was hardcore checking my weight. I was also lifting weights as well. No change to my waist size. I almost think i should lose the weight and get to my goal before i workout with weights. Almost to give myself no excuses. whats your opinion?

just curious why you think this?

thanks for all the info. i just find it odd that when i was hardcore logging everything, there was no moving. nothing. i gained regardless

yep.. thats unfortunately what i will have to do

see i get that but i did follow and still didnt lose weight. Thats why im dumbfounded. Has anyone lost weight while on citalopram?

yep. im about to decrease them until i go back to the gym. im in a walking boot currently. I gained weight ever since i took the pill. Crazy thing though, i got a physical and checked everything. All looks fine. How the f am i gaining weight? im not overeating because i checked everything to the T and still i gained weight.

i take citalopram. And at the time of the weight gain i was but i havent since.

did you end up losing the weight?

absolutely. without a doubt diet is big key. So you are saying there is no rule to go by to burn fat with weights?
