Weekly Social Weight Loss And Exercise Catch Up

[Sammyiam]

I've made the mistake of having Seroquel two days in a row and it is hurting my diet. I am ravenous when I take them. So I have cheated in little bits on my diet. I'm bound and determined not to let that happen today. If I can just stay away from peanut butter I will be fine. Only a few days in. I can get back on track.

Hi everyone,

I started this thread and was so keen to see it through, firstly I must say I'm sorry for not doing anything with this thread for a while, I want to apologise for being useless and not helping something that I started. I have been going through a really hard time since I had a fall 8 or so weeks ago and I know that is no excuse, so have come back to try and get back on the horse as they say. I think everyone has done such a great job and have just started reading through some of the replies and am very proud of you all.

I have put the quote at the top as that's what I have found, I was put on venlafaxine and seroquel and have slowly put all this weight on, it was very slow for a little while, but then got way worse so they put me on seroquel every three hours to try and stop my anxiety and paranoia, thinking I'm going to die and get into trouble etc etc. I have put on 20 kilos in three months 2.2lb to the kilo equals to much to even want to add up. I was 68 to 72 kilos now ..... Will you can work it out. I walk everyday down the beach and am very active mostly but man I hate this. I have tried to drop the zero quell and I have completely had a meltdown from it so my two choices are

1. Die of obesity or
2. Die from anxiety and paranoia.

Neither sounds to great from where I'm sitting .

I am just like what the heck am I doing to myself. I feel like I am slowly but surely falling to pieces unable to even find them let alone put the pieces back together again.

Sorry everyone for not being there for you all

Take care

Sammy

Heya Sammy I walked on the beach tonight, walking the dog. It was beautiful. I hope your beach is lovely too.

@Sammyiam You can only do what you can do. Despite the obstacles of the seroquel I think you can do this. Going for a walk seems wonderful. I really struggle to be able to do that. I've cut down on my seroquel and only use it when I need it. Which is not often thank goodness. I know it makes me ravenous, but I'm not willing to give up on it completely.

Just been told by my new endocrinologist that my diet is too low in calories and that that is not good for my body, so up with the calories. I'm afraid for this. Even though I haven't been losing weight on it, I haven't been gaining either. I'll just have to keep with the healthy eating but increase the calories. I think I can adjust it. I am a little nerve wracked.

Hi Spock,

I just went for a walk down the beach with my doggies this morning and is was really still and calm. it was nice down there came home as it was getting sunny and hot, my beach is lovely. How far away is your beach from where you live ?

Thanks Ms Spock

Walked the dog along the beach and around. Exercise is good.

That is good to read Sammyiam. What a proactive and good as well as nurturing thing that you are doing for yourself. Most impressive!

15 minutes I am so lucky Sammyiam!

I took the dog to two beaches this morning it was great!

Hi Ms Spock, that is great, I have no excuse as I live right on the beach front like 1 minute and I'm there, I walk down there everyday with the doggies, maybe twice and ride the four wheeler motorbike twice a day down there looking for stuff to use in the gallery.

I did my BMI last night and I am obese, which is not so good. I though if I lost ten kilos that would be right but not that is still in the overweight range.

Mind how the BMI is taken. Most aren't super accurate for women. Things like T&A (technically pelvis's for the lower parts, but our bubblier top parts for sure) extra skin from babies & age, etc. have a habit of biasing it incorrectly. At one point, I was 20kilos underweight, less than 6% body fat (eventually determined), and a fat pinching BMI had me in the 30 percents. Ticked my doc off, cause he was trying to get me to add weight (you could see my hip sockets). But I was literally skin, whipcord, and bone... And testing in the 30% fat range. The pincher was grabbing loose skin, and the ratios weren't accounting for bodacious tatas and my skeletal structure. (Insert Cartman voice here: I'm not fat, I'm just big boned ;) )

Fortunately, that time it was obvious the test was a total cockup. In the military the ratio tests (women and weightlifters always had to appeal the pincher or laser for them) worked fine because I was super-fitI generally avoid them now, altogether. I figure: if tests read me as obese when I'm dangerously model-thin I don't even wanna know what sort of gas giant they'd read me at now. Nope. Huh-uh. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent.

I am going to start all over again as well @gizmo . Rough week, bad eating, no exercise. I will do this even with a broken thumb. No pain, no gain!

I am starting all over today. No cokes for me. That is my biggest downfall.

 

[Let It Be]

Yesterday, I told myself that I would just treat myself which I did. Boy, did I not feel good afterwards.

I realized I was eating too much food. I guess I must have made a change to notice that, which was a good sign for me. I'm now back following what I need to eat on a daily basis.

I'm panicking now that I am not on that low calorie diet(doctor's orders). How am I going to lose this weight? Will what I lost come back? Things that are definitely worrisome.
