Hi everyone, mother of one in arkansas needing some support trying to lose some weight. done it before, can't keep it off. taking zoloft for ppd, only thing that works for me, housekeeper, very busy, and a dislocated kneecap last fall has slowed me down quite a bit. gotta find a way to shake off these pounds!!!!
anyone else have any luck losing weight on antidepressants? any tips?? any crazy busy moms out ther??? help!!! looking to lose about 30 pounds.

Hi Willow and :welcome: to 3FC's

There are many many boards here you can join, even one for people who are on anitdepressants (the ladies there are so kind and understanding). They have a weekly/daily chat that you might like http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=76 But its really up to you and where ever your comfortable posting.

Good Luck !!!!

thanks everyone, I will check out the forum for the folks on antidepressants, it's so nice to be able to talk with others in the same boat as myself.

Hi Willow, Welcome! :)

Be careful with the Zoloft, That's a real weight gainer there! I took it for like 6 months or so and boy am i sorry that i did! Not only did i gain weight while on it but i didn't even realize it was happening and now i am having withdrawal syndrome from it even tho i weaned off it. My right eye vision is very very dim and i think, i hope that it is the Zoloft that caused it and it will return once my system is restored back to normal again.

The exercise and healthier eating is all that i needed for my depression. It does wonders!

Good luck to you. I hope you make the right decision for YOU. :)
