Weekly Social Weight Loss And Exercise Catch Up

[Deleted member 12723]

I am going to have to wean myself off of smoking. I only had three today so far and I had been smoking three packs a day. I did sixteen minutes on the treadmill today. Not weighing myself on purpose. I am thinking of signing up for Jenny Craig again. The last time I was not so overweight like I am now and I lost seventeen pounds.

Had some minor cravings. This will be the norm, I suppose, until I am off this diet. No peanut butter. I use to eat a low fat version by the spoonful. Someday's that was the only way I got my protein in. I miss it. Oh well, they say about 20 days until something becomes habit, and I am on 13 or 14(since I think I screwed up marking my weight down). Pretty soon it won't be so bad.

I have gained 8 lbs in one month switching from Pristiq to Cymbalta 30 mg. Went off of it. Can't take any of those drugs due to side effects. My weight doesn't fluctuate unless I try to use antidepressants. I have a chronic pain condition and some of them do help, but I can't stand the side effects. Wish I could take Cymbalta, but the sweating is so horrendous, plus weight gain.

I flaked out today on the treadmill but am eating healthy.

Hi everyone, it's great the support that is going on with this thread. I am very sorry I haven't been on much I went to my grandsons 1st birthday at my sons house and the next door neighbours teenage boys unbeknown to me stole my cell phone and all my credit cards license, eft-pos cards and everything else in my phone wallet, and went to town and used them all. I have spent the last few days crying and trying to sort out the mess that they have left behind. I feel very sadden at what the human race has become. I had all my psychologist cards and rape crisis cards and psychiatrist cards in it so have felt very embarrassed and violated by teenage boys shifting through my tex messages and all my private cards photos and videos, after they had finished they threw the SIM cards and everything else in the river. I had just lost a very dear friend to cancer and now I have lost all the tex messages and memory's of her as well. It's my fault I have lost so much as I hadn't backed it up as I was unsure how to do it and never leave my phone alone, but didn't think it was a problem in my sons house.

I will be back on deck in a few days to encourage everyone, I'm really sorry I haven't been here much, but please keep up the good work

Take care

Sammy

@Sammyiam That is awful! I hope you'll recover from that violation. My texts went from one phone to the next, so, hopefully, that will happen for you. That is so sad.

Hi Britt.f7,

No I have lost everything, even tried the phone service to see if they could recover anything, but everything has gone floated down the river with all my stuff. Isn't it so stupid I brought a new SIM card for $9.00 so they threw it all away for $9.00. The worst thing is my dear closest friend died on Mother's Day after suffering from cancer and I had all her tex messages from her in the last few weeks telling me she loved me which I will never be able to replace. They have no idea what I have lost do they. :(

 

[Britt.f7]

No they have no idea. Unfortunately, they may not care, but maybe one day they will. What benefit did they receive doing that? Nothing. Shame on them. My heart goes to you during this difficult time.

I lost 2.2 pounds this week. Not as good as the first week, but progress just the same. Kind of disappointing. But, I guess, any progress is better then no progress. This diet is not easy. Still I decided to go with the 45 day version of it instead of just 21 days. After 45 days I can up my calories and add some good, healthy, fats to the diet. For three weeks, and then start all over again. With my whopping 11 pound loss the first week, the last two weeks have been discouraging. I even went for a walk yesterday. But the scale didn't budge. Feeling a little disheartened but choose to keep it up, since this is the only time I've actually seen any loss for anything I've done.

Well, I lost another few pounds since I last posted here. That makes a total of 60lbs now. Gotta admit I was happy to see that on the scales... :D

My daughter and I are going to become exercise buddies. I am so greatly encouraged by her support.

Hi everyone,

There have been some great loses and lots are doing so well ! Sadly I'm not one of you I have put on another Two kilos (4.4 lb) and have rung my psychiatrist again, I am going to talk with his nurse tomorrow, they didn't want me to change off the seroquel but I wanted something that wasn't going to gain weight so he said he would try respite one when I got home and looked it up gaining weight was right up there, so I have stayed on the venlafaxine and seroquel and hope tomorrow they might be able to change something.

I have just about given up on meds and most things actually, I feel very trapped I have been trying to cut the seroquel
down and in doing so have been really up and down and all over the place. I really don't know what to do I'm pretty screwed which ever way I go really I carn't seem to cope without them and are putting on weight with them. Like 12- 14 kilos in about 10 to 12 weeks which is about 28 pounds scary ah :(

I just feel like I am losing a small piece of me everyday to all of this and feel I am going to just end up an empty shell
With nothing left.

How do you all just keep going let alone try and lose weight ?

Or am I just doing it all wrong ? :(
