Hello from Oz! (+ Zoloft Question)

[Dancerella]

Hi Everyone!

I'm Belle, 30 yrs old, and am all geared up to re-start Atkins tomorrow morning! A few years ago I successfully lost 30 pounds doing Atkins and never looked better!

Three years later (and one baby plus one fiancee), I am weighing in at 166 pounds (I'm 5'2!). YIKES!

Its now or never....I have played around with other diets of late, but always seem to lose motivation. SO, I'm back where I know it works, and am determined to be a skinny bride in 2007!!!

My goal is to be 125 pounds by 16th June 2007 - my son's 10th Bday! I know I can do it!!

This Board really helped me out last tme, and even though I never really posted much, I was a regular addict and its what kept me on track.

I have one little "issue" for anyone who has any thoughts: I have recently started taking 50mg of Zoloft a day (its an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety med). A lot of my depression comes from hating the way I look.... it shouldnt interfere with my weight-loss should it? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Anyway, this is long, very late here in Aussie Land, best get to bed so I can start my new day tomorrow! yayyy!

Blessings to all,
Belle

Hi Belle and welcome back to the board! So glad you decided to recommit to Atkins.

How about taking a look at the Second Time Around forum. They are a great bunch in there, all of whom have "lost their way" at least once, but then found it again. Many have reached goal too. Lots of support and tips to be had there.

Also, you might like to join some of the activities (journals, exercise challenges)... they're such fun, very motivating, and often make the difference between permanent success or constant "upping and downing".

Hope you managed to find the answer to your Zoloft question via the board search feature. Like the others, I'm afraid I know nothing about it.

Keep us posted!

Hi Belle,

Being a second time arounder myself, I highly suggest the Second Time Around Forum, lots of groovy information in there. It's very motivational. We're very glad to have you with us, I'm sorry I haven't found much on the Zoloft question, however, you might do a search on medications, medicine, zoloft, anti-depressants, and you might be able to find out more! We're happy to have you back with us, don't be a stranger, make some posts, make your way around to all the forums, and find the one that best suits you!

Good Luck,
