Hello all:
Wow!!. Wowie Wow Wow. I just got on the sclae for the first time in a few weeks. I could feel the extra weight in my clothes and a third chin growing. But THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I know Lisa brought this up the other day but I am SHOCKED at how much I weigh. If you go by the stupid ass weight charts then I am 80 overweight.
But I know if I lost 40 I would be ok. Its these damn medications. IT IS NOT ME. I barely eat. So I started taking Paxil in 2002. Gained 30 lbs right away and then another 20 slowly. back then I went to the gym 3-4 days a week.
A year ago, they put me on Inderal/Propanol for blood pressure. I noticed I gained like 10lbs the first week. No change in diet
So now I have gained 15 lbs on top of the 50-60 from before. This is insane. You guys know I work full time and struggle to even get thru one day. WTH am I supposed to do. I asked my doctor. He said eat "smaller portions". No shit Sherlock. I barely eat. After work, I feel tired and nauseous. I wouldnt eat at all but my wife makes me.
So the question begs. Is it impossible for me to lose weight? I cant exercise and I eat very little and I gained 15lbs???? Am I just waiting for a heart attack or stroke? What is going to happen. I will be going back to my doctor but he thinks I am a pig who sits around eating donuts. He doesnt get it.
I feel as though I am just on a train wreck to hell. I know it is the medication.I tried to go off the Paxil twice and it was awful, brain zaps and BP dropped dangerously low. I was always active and played sports. This is just pissing me off. Anyone understand or have any suggestions knowing that I cant exercise and I eat like a bird? Thanks!

Hope everyone else is doing well on they're program.

Don't worry, I havent gone anywhere. The last 10 days at work have been crazy as I have been training a few people to take some important tasks off my plate. I never knew how exhausting training could be.
I am still at -2 lbs. I'm stuck. I have been eating healthy except for a few bad days. Over the weekend I slept until 3pm on Saturday and Sunday. This could not have helped the weight or metabolism. Granted I went to bed at 3AM also. See my metabolism is just so slow. I'm like one step above dead on the metab scale.
Erila-Thanks for your support to this thread
ME- You are amazing. Doing so well.
Pill- Welcome and ty for your wise thoughts
Sorry if I missed anyone. I hope to report some weoght loss success soon.

Old song sorry. I am at -3 lbs. Better than a swift kick in the ass. I really am trying hard. I eat very healthy just cant exercise. Wife was gone for a week and I lost 1 lb. Not bad. She went to the grocery store yesterday and spent $300! All healthy stuff. And bananas. Love them. Its my 3pm snack.
Tonite wifey poo is cooking a pot roast in the slow cooker. Gonna cook all day. She had the butcher cut a special piece of meat. Baby potatoes, carrots, onions and mushtooms. Gonna be goood.
Erika, you are doing great!
Fayre, you too
Hi to all others who have joined the cause.
As an aside, I need new dress pants for work. I want to wait and hope I lose some weight. But I need new pants! What do I do. Buy the fat boy pants?

I didn't lose anything this week. I stayed the same. I'm guessing it's because I had to take a few days off from exercising because of my surgery. Hopefully, it'll come off this week
We all run amuck from time to time. It's hard to stay on it when you go back and forth to mom's. I always find it a bit tougher when I'm not in my own house, cooking and cutting up the right foods. You've done so good with your weight loss so far. I'm sure you'll get back on the bandwagon in no time. Good luck with your weigh in!
i had one packet of maple brown sugar oatmeal for breakfast with my usual morning coffee. if i could only cut out the cream and sugar i know that would help, but i never could drink black coffee. so, it is what it is.
im going to have fish and rice for dinner in about on hour and a half. i like to make sure i eat dinner before 6pm. will have my usual; popcorn for a snack. im feeling pretty good, ready to dedicate myself to this quest to loose this weight. so, how bout it? how's it going in your world?
