I'm new to the forum
been lurking for a while. I did weight watchers for a while but once they switched to the points plus program my weight loss stalled-mostly because I couldn't keep up with the new system. When I figured out how many calries per day I was taking it when I did follow it, it was less than or right around 1000. That is just not enough food for me.
I started counting calories instead and try to keep around 1200 per day. I am 5 foot 2 and as of this morning 189 lb.
I am on Citalopram and I have heard a lot of people gain weight on this. When I started it, I was 184, I got up to 192 but honestly wasn't trying to keep track of what I was eating. I stopped taking it for about a month, started counting calories and excercising, and lost 2.4 lb in one week.
My mood swings came back-so I started the drug again, and this first week back on it I have gone from 188 even to 189.6
my husband thinks I should try it another week or so before calling into the doctor to see about changing. I am just so tired of being obese, I have been all my life. My highest I was 235, got down to 170 and just in the past several months have I gotten back up there again.
Anyone have experience with this drug? Any advice?
