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!

exercise as much as you can walking is good start add little each day went i started i could not do it i thought but now i do well , i m working on toning now but i have to change them up a little so i dont get hurt im stubborn person i quit smoking it not about eating a little i dont think it about eating food that kick start your body eat peanuts before you exercise , bananas have water reducing properties milk good filler . i do not use table salt i use to lots of it i have cut back on sugar , oh ya no Micky ds eat lots of fruit ans vegetables im maintaining my wiegth i can even eat micky ds once in a wild drink tons of water keep water with you drink all day long any how that's how i lost , i also use like beackfast bars i use sunbelt the inexpensive i like coconut and they have chocolate on them. fired foods cut back i think it about finding foods that encourage your body to ex spend energy = lost calories anyway that my plan it worked for me once you get it going its easy not hard hard follow. hope this helps hugs min oh ya those bars are nut replacement . most of all eat slowly also Crystal lite lemon aid i could drink a glass of that ii would kill my apatite

Erika I found the post ;)
Why not have a weekly post.........make it much easier?
im with you all
Thanks for the snack posting Seren. I use any and all suggestions. I havent weighed myself in about 10 days. I was sick last week and slept alot. I feel like Ive gained so I dont want to weigh myself. It will be discouraging.
I thought by now we'd be on little tiny pills that would make us skinny. Like the Jetsons. Remember George was just served a littke pill for dinner. As soon as I feel better need to start exercising. Diet aint workin
Hope all dieters are doing well.

I finally broke my plateau. Almost 3 weeks without a piund loss is hard, especiallywwhen you're exercising and dieting. When that used to happen before, I would have gone off the diet and said it's not working, but weight watchers taught me if I stayed on my program, the weigjt would come off. Its just your body fighting to keep your weight on.
Hugs,
