Hello all
I'm new to this forum and also just started Weight Watchers about a week and half ago. One thing I have noticed is that support either in person or through my computer seems to be the only thing that keeps me going. I am 26 years old and have only been overweight since my early 20's. I was put on anti anxiety meds at the age of 20 and instantly went from 125lbs to 150lbs almost overnight - since then the last 20lbs went on pretty smoothly. I have successfully been off for over a month now and am more than ready to get my life back. I have a goal weight of 130lbs and need ALL the support in the world to get there. I am going to keep a diary thread going with my progress to help me
Over the past 6 years I have done every fad diet in the book in attempt to lose weight (Slim Fast to Cabbage Soup to Lemonade Diets and Colonics). I know I have severly messed up my metabolism and need to get back on track.I do have a few questions that i would love feedback on if anyone has the time
Does anyone here participate in Weight Watchers - If so what are your feelings towards it?
Has anyone had experience with weight gain due to meds? If so - how have you dealt with and/or lost the weight - Have you had to go off them to do so? If so, how long did it take to lose the weight after coming off?
I'm sorry for all the dumb questions
I'm SO frustrated and OF COURSE I keep turning to food and alcohol, which does nothing but make me feel worse. I need to make some life changes and I am prepared to do it, but I need help along the way. I am a very 'instant gratification' personality so I know I am drawn to 'miracle diets' that promise overnight weight loss.Am I the only one that ever feels like I am destined to be heavy? I'm scared that no matter what I do I will always weigh this now and/or just continue to gain.
I just want to be healthy again
Sorry for the rambling, I'll keep future posts a little more precise
Thank you all for listening and I am open to ANY suggestions and/or tips people have
