Hello out there. I have never posted on a site like this before. I am looking for a "buddy" to help guide me thru this journey.
I am 33, 5'11 and weight 185 pounds. I have a one year old and a two year old, so I think the pregnancies wreaked havoc on my body and metabolism, and I am trying to get back down to (and STAY!!) at 167.
After my second baby (very dramatic delivery) I suffered post-partum depression and went on Cymbalta for the depression and Ambien CR and Seroquel to ease my anxiety at night and sleep. I have read everywhere that Seroquel is a nightmare to lose, or even not gain weight on. I have just in the last few days tried to stop taking it at night. Did good last night, only took Ambien CR. Am hoping in a week or two will see some results from stopping the Seroquel.
Also, it's Monday morning and I am starting South Beach today! I have tried to start it about four times and do good for a few days, but then end up eating really bad in the middle of the night (hoping stopping the Seroquel will curb that).
Anyway, would appreciate anyone who wants to maybe chat daily and is in a similar situation - for support!!
