I'm on Zoloft and am losing weight. I actually find it easier to count calories and work out since I no longer feel like lying in bed all day. :) I guess the theme of this board is- everyone is different and you will need to find a medication that works best for you. But, it is possible to lose weight on anti-depressants.…

A friend of mine recently asked both her doctor and dentist about sparkling water. The verdict: t's the same as water. No ill effects. Yay!!! I love sparkling water. It makes me feel fancy. :)

I get a whey protein powder from Trader Joe's- it's more affordable than some. One thing to watch out for is sodium and sugar content- you probably don't want more of that (unless you do)! Walgreens has good powders too that are pretty affordable.

I do 45 minutes of kickboxing for the cardio days about 650ish calories burned which is pretty accurate to when I've worn a heart monitor. On strength training days I log under cardio for "Strengthtraining". Again, pretty accurate to when I've worn a heart monitor. Good luck!

I've been doing Farrell's for a year and I LOVE it! I hope it's going well for all of you. I know you're all into your program now but if you have any questions I'm happy to answer!

I do a six day workout class (3 days cardio/kickboxing, 3 days resistance bands/strength training) and I've been adding in additional workouts here and there. I started biking 20-30 minutes a day or walking. Not too intense b/c my workout class is pretty intense. I also just try to be aware of my body- if it's hurting in…

Hey all! Looks like everyone is doing a great job! I was only down 1.2 pounds (185 to 183.8) but I met the exercise and water challenges. I say _only_ 1.2 because I had been up the week before and didn't lose more than I had put back on. I like the weekly check in and challenges! I think it makes you reflect on this…

Mostly just for me. I find it a lot easier to eat healthy when I have pre-made stuff ready to go in the fridge!

Hey everybody! I'm Jen, 29- 5'5" @ 185. I recently returned to college to get my teaching certificate for high school art (I have my b.a. in Art and Design). I have one semester left of clases, then student teaching, and then I'm an adult?! I have always been self-conscious about my weight (even weights now, that I would…

Ah, sorry. I should have stated that I make it myself. Although you could probably purchase something similar. All my vinaigrettes are about the same recipe too! Juice from one lemon (or lime) 1 tsp of agave nectar or honey zest from one lemon (or lime) salt pepper 1 tsp olive oil Add any other herbs in about 1 tsp - 1 tbs…

A couple of days late, i hope you don't mind! 1) Official weigh in on Friday at 184.6. I was up a couple lbs this week, but I think due to that TOM. At least I hope so! I've been doing well, tracking and exercising this week, so hopefully next week will see a loss. 2) I don't believe that everything happens for a reason,…

The diet comments are the worst! 1) none of your business 2) NOT HELPING! I also have a hard time not eating when other people do. Trying to keep my hands busy as others have said works ok for me. Or chewing gum.

That happens to me when i drink too much milk or eat too much popcorn. I assume its a mild food allergy and I try to consume in moderation. (but I LOVE milk and popcorn!) (not together).

Bump it up! I've been cutting more and more animal products out of my diet and want to continue down that track. Thanks to you all that have shared your experiences and recipes! Yummy.

Do you have Vietnamese places around you? If so, how about Pho? Delicious and fun for a date! Ordering in is hard, we sometimes get Pita Pit or other sandwich places (you can control the toppings (i.e. calories) and pita pit has a nice calorie calculator on their website) but that might be kind of boring. Have a nice…

Absolutely agree.

Sometimes I feel that way, but I try really hard not to. I don't want people to think that way about me...

I use this delicious recipe from this blog: http://shesingsatthetable.com/2011/06/20/smoothies-and-happy-thoughts/ I usually put some spinach in my smoothies now (you really can't taste it!) and either use banana or avocado to "smooth" them. With the addition of banana or avocado, I find that I do not need yogurt. I also…

I hate birth control in general- all of them seem to affect me (depression/weight gain/difficult weight loss) but the shot was the worst. I, too, turned into a total crazy person and gained weight. Everyone is different though and some people have worse reactions than others. Talk to your doctor and try something else for…

I'm 29, married but no kids. I started 3 days ago at 187, and have a goal weight of 150 to begin. My husband and I are thinking about having kiddos soon and I'd like to lose weight before I get pregnant so I won't have so much to lose afterwards! I'd love to have some buddies to lose weight with so please feel free to…

LIma beans are the WORST. I also hate eggplant. Blech.
