| Weight Loss | 130/120 Club? | Jan 23 2008 20:52 (UTC) |

Hi all, I'm in! I'm 5'5" and weigh 131. Again as most of you have stated I'm a healthy weight but I really want to get back to 120. I've been dieting for about 2 weeks and so far haven't seen much improvement. How long did it take some of you to see a change (drop) in your weight? I've been eating about 1400 calories a day and going to the gym where I do 30 minutes of cardio and another 30 of core strengthening. Any tips/ words of encouragement? |

I agree this is a really good forum... I've been on sertraline (generic zoloft) for the past 4 years. Initially my biody went nuts in terms of fluctuations in weight loss and mood. I had always been underweight and I did gain about 10 lbs. (From 112 - 122 and I'm 5'5") but again since I had always been skinny it didn't worry me. After a while my body did settle back down to normal and my mood improved greatly! You should for sure remain on your anti-depressants regardless of what they are doing to your body. I promise in about a year things will settle down. I have unfortunately/ fortunately now been enjoying life a little too much and have been eating/ drinking too much wine with my boyfriend and am at 130 and am looking to get back to the 120 range. But at this point in my life the drugs don't seem to effect my weight gain / loss. One note about drinking for anyone on SSRIs (my doctor told me this) be careful at first and make sure your body doesn't react adversely to the alcohol and obviously drink in moderation if your body is ok (but that should be followed by anyone). But remember everyone is different and what has worked for me may not work for you. Goign back to weight loss, give the drugs some time, they really were great for me! Once you seem to be at a constant weight try losing a few lbs and take it from there. |

| Thanks so much for this post! It's super helpful. I've been dieting for about 2 weeks now and at first I dropped 2 lbs (132 - 130). but then gained one back. I'm 25 weigh 131 and REALLY want to get back to 120. I have a small body frame and my hips are out of control. Hopefully by the end of next week I can start seeing the results I really want! I'm going away in March and it would be really nice to be back in the 120s. Any helpful tips on how to keep this up? I'm really frustrated. | |||
