I am a 5′ 4″ woman in her 20's. I have recently gained about 15 lbs while on anti-depressant Lexapro and also not eating so wonderfully.
I weigh 197 lbs today and want to drop about 40 lbs. I carry my weight in my mid-section but hide it by sucking in my stomach. Most people think I am about 150-160 lbs but I AM NOT and it is a true burden to me and I need to drop these lbs.
I wear a size 10 pant and want to be in a comfortable 8 by the end of my journey. I have been eating 1200 calories daily for a week now and have lost 1.5 lbs so far. Anyway, I am really emotional about all of this because it is almost like a secret how much I weigh. Hoping to gain support from this forum. Thanks everyone!
