I am working hard on losing weight. I have lost 19 pounds in the last 3-4 months. I have about 40-50 more to go. My goal is 165 I am just a little over 200. I gained 70 pounds when getting clean in the span of 1 year and a half… and because of medications and lack of exercise. I got off the certain meds like 2 months ago and I have been walking up to 10,000 - 17,000 steps a day, depending on the day. I get a lot of cardio in at my job and I walk from work sometimes to work then I will do my exercise after I go on a walk or something. I haven’t been able to eat many calories the last few days because I
Got 3 teeth pulled so I’m not really eating and they said no exercise for 3-4 days after getting the teeth pulled because it can mess up the blood clotting. Now I might have a minor surgery tomorrow and I don’t know how long I will have to recover for
That but I am eager to get back in my routine. I cut out all caffeine and pop. So I really only drink water and decaffeinated tea. I learned there is no such thing as “good” and “bad” foods. Just moderation of
The right ones. It works for me. Anyway glad to be on this thread. I believe I can reach my goal weight

Me too Flannery! It’s been about 2 months since I weened myself off of Seroquel, Trazadone and Paxil. I ended up losing 10 lbs with just stopping those. I couldn’t get below 197 and my weight is supposed to be 165 as well. Keep up the good work! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Hi! I’m trying to quit alcohol and lose some weight. I’ve gotten up to 210lbs and I’m 5’6”. I gained 40 pounds since the start of the pandemic. I eat mostly healthy. It’s the drinking that added on the pounds. This is the most I’ve ever weighed. Need to get healthy!

I was doing so well exercising eating well and losing weight and now I’m not ugh. I’m still sober that’s the main thing but I’ve been so busy with a new job its hard to juggle. I know my citalopram anti dep made me gain so much weight too I want to wean off but not sure it’s the right thing to do even though I feel OK. Why do these meds make us gain weight? They dud the first time I went on them too.

I forgot to weigh in Friday while traveling back from all the good eats in Dallas.

Ugh :weary: why is it so easy to gain especially when you’re not exercising and on vacation. Duh :man_facepalming:

Weighed in Monday a bit better at 200.4. So that’s good. Walking helps. A LOT!!

185lb today. My weight loss had plateaued and was creeping up again and then I remembered that the last time I lost weight effectively I had not only stopped drinking but I’d also done Intermittent Fasting. So, I’m back on track after a concerted effort over the past 10 days or so. One or two of the days have even been added sugar free!

I am 288.4 lbs as of today. I think I will check in here. I have Lyme disease and Gerd so I am hoping losing weight will help, at least a little bit.

Well today is day 1 of healthy eating! I actually am attempting Keto as the doctor said it would be helpful for me. Everything I have consumed today is keto froendly. I downloaded the Carb Manager app to keep track (very easy to use). I don’t feel hungry. In fact I feel pretty focused and energetic. So far anyway lol. I made something called a Keto Bulletproof Coffee this morning. Kept me full until lunch! Then had 2 lettuce wraps with meat and cheese and ranch dressing with more water. I feel good! I weighed myself today and gained AGAIN from last week. I am very concerned about my weight :frowning: So that is why Im malong some serious changes. Getting clean snd sober along with emotional eating and not being conscious about what I eat or how much I eat, has took its toll on me. I’m not waiting until something horrific happens to me physically before I do something about it. I have my ultrasound booked for tomorrow which is related to my weight and bloodwork booked in July to check hormones specificially amd for diabetes, thyroid etc. Then from there I can talk to the dr to see what steps I can take to lose the approximate 80lbs that I need to lose. I’m finally doing something about this. Excited to see where this all takes me :slight_smile:
