I would seek some advice from your doctor. Celexa does not normally make people gain that much weight, if you said 5 or 10 pounds I would say maybe, but if it's a lot of weight, there is probably more going on. They could switch you to a different antidepressant perhaps, but that alone would not make all of the change. Your doc can run some tests (like thyroid studies, for example) to make sure there's not an underlying medical disorder causing this to happen. Your doc can also help you devise a diet plan or maybe send you to a dietician to talk about healthy ways to lose the weight. You may even eventually be a candidate for bariatric surgery. You can talk about how to start exercise safely, too.

Best of luck to you!

Hi, I'm not sure what Celexa is, so I don't know if it's contributing to your hunger.
However, I can tell you that I've had terrific results on Weight Watchers. It helps me know when to stop eating. It also encourages healthy eating by requiring you to eat at least 5 fruits and/or veggies a day.

You can definitely lose weight by increasing your intake of fruits and veggies. That makes me eat less of things that are higher in calories. Drink plenty of water. Do whatever exercise you can.

You're right, your boy needs you! Get started, making one or 2 changes at a time so you can keep it up. As your weight goes down you'll have more energy and will be able to do more.

You can do it!

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

You have to want to do it and stick with it. Drink only water, you will start to crave it after a few weeks. Eat no yellow or white foods. Stay away from fast food. Limit you intake to 3/4 to 1/2 of what you use to eat. It ok to eat a sweet now and then (once a week). Try not to lose to fast, just change eating habit so it will not come back.

Oh Im so sorry, Im sure this isnt helping your depression. For sure talk to your dr., there are many different medications he can switch you to that may not have the same effect. As for the foods and exercise I could help you put together a plan designed just for you and your goals. I will even come to your house and train you if you are in my area, if not I will coach you online, over the phone and through email!

Please talk to your doctor about the effect that Celexa is having on your appetite, and he may have recommendations for you.

But to answer your question: YES, a vegan diet will help you lose weight, and yes walking will help you lose weight. Even better, try a "raw foods" diet -- only eating uncooked fruits and vegetables; it is more limiting in food choices, but you can basically eat constantly (while sticking to the food choices given) and still lose weight.

A lot of humans will recommend books like Bill Phillips standard "Body For Life". I have a duplicate. It has a few well recommendation in it, however it is usually filled with strategies most effective approximately a million% of the humans will ever comply with for any duration of time. Unless you've got a few unrealistic proposal that you'll a bodybuilder's body, I might advise extra sane, realistic, and effortless to comply with instructional materials. First, it's real you must prevent a few meals. The greatest attention of dangerous energy come from baked items. Cut out such a lot breads, candy rolls, and so on. and you'll be able to make a significant difference. Don't move overboard. Avoid white breads and opt for the fibre-stuffed ones. Like a few meals? Eat part !! A lady who used to be regularly narrow advised me she used to be heavy earlier than for the reason that she might constantly crave the meals she needed to get rid of from her nutrition. Then she determined to hold consuming many of the meals she favored, however most effective devour part. She might wrap the opposite part for an additional day or simply throw it away so she could not be tempted. It works like magic. No cravings, however you are most effective taking in a million/two the energy. Just the day gone by on Yahoo! News they'd an editorial approximately why the French control to stick so skinny, in spite of all of the heavy cream sauces and wine. Their secret's that they devour very leisurely, and feature a significant style of meals, however particularly small amounts. They would not have a few colossal mug of espresso, they've an coffee. They do not devour significant slabs of cheese, they've a couple of small cubes with their meal. Everything moderately. Don't see many fats French, do you? Here's a couple of methods to get well protein with out plenty of energy: purchase frozen fish (no breaded, fried fish!). Mix a few non-fats mayo with lemon juice and spices like chives to make it style palatable. Eating fish is prime in protein and customarily low in fats. Salmon and others have particularly prime fats content material, however it is the well sort of omega-three. Last piece of recommendation: HIKE. Forget strolling. Forget taking lengthy walks. Get out in nature and hike, for four-five hours. The kilos will begin falling off like mad. And don't forget to drink plenty of water everyday. It's ironic that whatever so realistic could make you drop pounds, however by means of consuming approximately a gallon an afternoon makes humans drop pounds a lot faster. Good good fortune. Now, get on a few footwear with a well tread and hike your strategy to thinness.
