Miles walked… planning on 4… I NEED to do 4 today… I only ended up doing 2 last night.

I am down 27 pounds now! It is ridiculous how fast I am losing. I have even bumped up my calories and have been trying to eat 1500 a day… but I’m still losing so fast. I know most say it is unhealthy, but I think there are some reasons for it. I have PCOS… which has made me gain weight in the past. I think the sudden jolt to my metabolism of lots of excercise and healthier eating has played with the insulin levels and hormones in my body. Also, I had been on Effexor for depression for about a year and stopped taking it in January. I found out after I was on it that Effexor has a reputation for making people gain and retain weight. Just as I was starting my new plan for better health and weight loss, I was put on a new drug. I am now on Celexa and Wellbutrin. My doctor told me that celexa helps to control hunger and would probably help me lose weight faster. Plus… when I started I weighed 346… I think my body is just like…. “THANK GOD!!” right now and is shedding the excess weight that it definitely doesn’t need quickly.
