Hello everyone
Really delighted to come across this website, lots of info and inspiration.
I currently weigh just under 20 stone , am 5 ft 7 so need to lose around 8 stone approx.
I have always been overweight and have always been mildly depressed and dealt with some serious eating disorders when I was younger (dont have any at the moment bar overeating).However, when I had my first child I suffered quite badly with PND, was put on medication which I didnt manage very well and subsequently 3 years and another child later I am still on medication (Efexor 75mg daily) and put on approx 4 stone as well.
I have found the medication really seems to hinder any weight loss attempts, makes it difficult to focus and there is a lot of comfort eating. I am in a catch 22 that if I ate better, exercised more etc I could possibly get myself off the meds (which is my plan) but the meds seem to be making this very difficult.. I am stopping and starting various eating plans but hope to stick with ww eventually.
Thanks so much for reading this, if there was anybody out there in the same position I would be delighted to hear from you (or anyone with any adivice to be honest!)
Good luck to everyone
