Hiya, I’m new!

I’m Katy,

Had a car accident about 10 years ago & have a bad neck/shoulder that just won’t settle down 🙁

I’ve always been very slender but after I was given an antidepressant I very quickly put 3 stone on Ekkkk.

So now 90% of all my clothes don’t fit me & I love my clothes 😕😫

I changed my medication but for some reason (maybe it’s because I’ve turned 40) I am finding it extremely difficult to lose the weight! Very depressing in itself hey!

After years of ‘trying’ I finally started a real huge push about a month ago.

I’ve lost a stone already. So pleased with myself and now feel like I’m ready to start getting a bit fitter. I did my ‘day 1’ exercise/run yesterday.

All ready to go again for tomorrow.

Katy

Hi Katy 👋

Congratulations - 1 stone in a month is impressive stuff.

Weight gain can be a side-effect of quite a few meds and there do seem to be a significant number of people who find that their docs don’t think it’s anything to do with the meds until they come off them and it drops off again...

Good luck with day 2, 3, 4....

🙏🏻
