  • I know from speaking to my doctors that weight gain can definitely be a side effect from certain antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications. Personally, I'm on Bupropion (Wellbutrin) and according to the two doctors I've consulted with, it tends to have the least effect on weight- although it does assist in weight loss in…

  • For me personally, I decide what my family eats for dinner. I don't eat a salad while they eat greasy burgers around me! I check calories by entering my recipes here so I know the portion I can have (even if my husband gets to have double what I'm eating.) If one of the kids really doesn't like what I've made, there is…

  • It's funny, I think I'm the only person who is the opposite! I HATE treadmills- my jogs seem so much harder on them. I guess I've gotten used to being outside, having scenery, and being able to adjust my speed when I need to give myself a break for a minute. It seems like on the treadmill, there's *more* impact on my…
