Hi all, last week I started eating healthy low fat foods in an attempt to lose 20 or 25 lbs that I have let creep up on me. I'm 38, only 4'10 and weighed 140, the scales look like around 138 now and I am determined. Ya know how ya get on the scales one day and they say that you've lost 5 lbs and the next day it looks as tho youu have put them back on? GRRR...I am ignoring that nonsense and keepin on with what I know is right and I know I will make it to where I wanna be! Good luck to all!

I really am not sure how to use these threads...but thanks for the invite! It has been 9 days since I started watching what I'm eating...(feels like longer! lol) I've lost about 6 lbs! Went to the doctor and was in heaven when the scales had me under the 140 mark! Also he put me on Lexapro for anxiety and depression, if anyone here is taking an anti-depressant and trying to lose weight I would like some input cuz I definitely am hoping it does not cause me to gain any! Thanks!

Hi Kimmy,

Congrats on the BIG loss!! That's awesome! I've never been on anti-depressants, so I can't help you there, but I sure hope it doesn't affect things.
