Just wondering why my son was able to loose weight faster than my husband, when they started diet at same time. My son feels its the alcohol that made him fat and that is something he cut out along with flour and sugar.

I don’t understand why I cant lose my “after baby body”. My Son will be a year old on Sept.4th and I am still 140 pounds. I am 5’3, and the weight is going straight to my stomach. I look perfect at a weight of 125, but these last few pounds are not leaving. I have tried everything. I am desperate and at my wits end. I feel my last option is drugs (Illegal) but I don’t want to be a drug addicted and neglectful mother. I love my son and I want to be a good mom but I want to be a beautiful wife also. although my husband is loving and doesn’t complain I Know he doesn’t look at me the same, I don’t look at me the same. It may sound vain but it is important to me. How can I lose this weight and why has it been so hard? I want the drugs because I know they will work…how do I keep from reaching that point? Please Help.
I just posted a question about eating pickles and everyone mostly told me to stay away.. Im trying to fight my binge eating because I used to be 123 and now Im 157.. lol.. ugh! ( I did also have my son back in Janruary but I was 148 a month ago and shot up 10 pounds ) I have done great for the past 3 days but I need some healthy snack Ideas? I usually have a a fruit smoothie for breakfast, lunch I usually eat a yogurt and snack on a pickle with green tea and then for dinner I have a salad or fish sandwich or turkey burger.. but I really wanna lose this weight so if I need to make any changes let me know!! THANKS!
I started lexapro 10mg a couple of days ago and am HORRIFIED at all of the stories I have read from people saying it changed their metabolism and caused them to gain 30-60 lbs.
I need some reassurance. In the past year I have lost 20lbs and there is noooo way I am going to gain it back.
So my questions…
1. Will being careful what I eat and making sure to get some good exercise keep this medicine from making me gain weight?
2. I have read that lexapro has been approved for binge eating…so would it work the opposite way for someone who had that problem before taking the drug? Therefore causing weight loss?
I am taking it for Generalized Anxiety Disorder which I have had for almost 4 years. I took these meds after the birth of my son for a few months 4 years ago but did not note any weight gain as I was still overweight from having a baby.
Thank you for your advice, I am really nervous about this. I don’t see how taking a pill can make you gain weight.
I have been bulimic since 1997. I would binge and purge and starve myself in between. I would also exercise like a mad woman. I was so skinny my family wasn’t sure what was going on. My ribs were showing and my face looked skeletal. When I became pregnant with my daughter in 2001 I slowly stopped the binging and purging and began to eat healthy and not worry about my weight. I was normal for the whole pregnancy but right after her birth I began just not eating.. and when I couldn’t take it any more the binging and purging began again. In summer of 2007 my son had a terrible accident and again I began just not eating from the stress and then slowly but surely began binging and purging again. I was so happy with the way I looked I didn’t want to stop. But when my boyfriend moved in with me I couldn’t hide it from him so I have slowly been eating here and there and only purging occasionally. I have gained 9 lbs. I am 5’7 and my size 4 pants are now snug on me. Anyone else that was that size I would say was skinny but when I see myself in the mirror I look like a moose. My boyfriend is very weird that way too.. he likes his girl skinny and has mentioned things when he is mad about me not exercising as much and that I am getting flabby. I am not sure what to do. I am on the verge of becoming full fledge again because even when I eat less than a normal person and exercise I still seem to put on weight if I am not vomitting. I need help. I don’t know how to eat and be normal and still be able to maintain my weight anymore. If any one has any answers for me I would greatly appreciate it. My world is just consumed with thoughts of food and how I am going to get rid of it. I am tired of feeling this way. it has been way too many years.
I bought some drinks today that are basically the same as Ensure Plus, just not that name brand. I know I am too thin but, I just can’t eat when I am not hungry. I don’t have an eating disorder – I eat whatever I want whenever I want. I don’t purposely starve myself nor do I binge and purge. Anyways, the drinks I bought say “to help gain or maintain a healthy weight” so I thought I would try it. But, my son and bf are telling me it will not help me gain any weight. That does not make any sense to me – if I skip a meal, wouldn’t drinking one of those be better than nothing? I would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks.
my son just turned 15 and he is 6ft 4 and 330 and his coach wont play him because hes too slow and hes very agressive but this is his first sport ever because his mom wouldnt allow sports period but as of sept 2008 i said enough and i just broke the devorce parent planning contract and moved him in with me .his mom had another kid by a meth addic and the guy has turned my son sour against going back .hes much happier now and grades are better and hes got a future but i am kindaworried on how to give him a brake on this football thing . lol hes a beast but needs help . his coach runs him to death trying to dropthis weight but son just dose the work and nothing happens . hes getting very depressed never playing and i know he can helpthe team even now but his coach has cold feet . the custidy thing is pretty much on my side here so thats not a worry but if any professionals or coaches or just someone whos been here could give me anything to help id sure be greatful.
i don’t need anyone to tell me how to diet, because i know how..i have a problem with doing it since i had my son.
Before i was pregnant i had slimmed down a lot, i didn’t gain much weight during pregnancy and it seemed to drop off straight after but then it all came back on. I used to gain weight on my legs but now it goes on my tummy…It seems that everything i eat goes on my stomach.
I do exercise and eat healthily but then i seem to get to a stage where i binge for a week…it’s really bad. Some days i’ll eat 4 chocolate bars on top of a take away. I’ll do that for say a week and then the week after i’ll feel so bad that i only have coffee and one digestive biscuit for a week. I know in my head that it isn’t right but i can’t stop myself. I HATE how i look. I won’t even take my son swimming, he’s only been once and he’s 8 months old now.
I’ve done weight watchers before and did well but i’m a mum and a student now so my time is very limited. But when i try to do it at home i don’t stick to my points.
I’ve got to the point where i’ve fantasised about cutting fat away from my stomach. I am a size 14(uk) but i feel huge and when i look in the mirror i see a 20 stone woman looking back at me. My breasts are a H cup and i want to cut them off too. I’m only 20 but i feel like an old frump.
i don’t want your pity but i would like some tips on keeping motivated and some quick/easy healthy recipes as having an 8 month old and a house to keep (i live alone) and 4 assignments i find i go for the quicker food which is usually the worst for me…
Please help me 
My native-German husband is 36, six foot, and weighs 270 lbs. He has high BP and is pre-diabetic. Five years ago when we were engaged, he was 190. He cooks and eats what he wants, drinks about 4 to 6 drinks an evening – up to 18 drinks on a weekend day. He has food binges late at night while watching violent movies after I go to bed. When we got married, my impression of him was of an active, outdoor kind of guy who was into lifelong fitness. Not one to nag, I’ve recently tried to be helpful with, “I love you and want you to be well”, do it for our son, healthy food suggestions, be inspired by his father’s own efforts, enlisting help from his brother as a ‘gym buddy’, trying to do active things together, modelling good behavior, etc. Zip. BTW, I’v also asked him to get help with his drinking and he insists he doesn’t have a problem. At a rough spot in our marriage, I tried ultimatums. Funny thing, he also makes fun of other fat people we know and of me doing yoga. HELP!
Im not going to get into detail but I struggle with an eating disorder, I been struggling for 8 years and I also have a 3 year old son, I just turned 21, 5’4 and 98 lbs. I want help but im not sure the type of help they have is what I need or want, I know its not about what I want though. I need to stop purging and starving, sometimes I will go weeks without food, WEEKS! then I purge alot when I do eat, even healthy food and it doesnt even have to be a binge. I want to start eating again, like start off with celery and peanut butter, mabe 3 pieces celery a day with a teaspoon peanut butter for protein. How does that sound, am I gona blow up? I use diuretics and laxatives, Im sadly addicted but dont feel sorry for me I just need real advice.
Will I lose weight from eating that? I just want to be thin dont preach to me please, I’ve heard it all and I know it all but I gotta stop purging and starving myself. I gotta start somewhere right? I might even purge the celery. God help me…
I dont want to gain weight and eating normal meals make me sick and purge, salads make me purge even drinking V8 but I’ve heard about celery and how your body takes more calories to digest it or something.
Oh yeah my doctor is white, she said only white women get eating disorders so I really get no help, she dropped my case but Im looking for a new therapist and psychiatrist now because she was obviously racist.
