Yes, the Paxil weight is gone...I think most of it was water-retention so when I stopped and went onto Celexa, it went away. Also, I watch what I eat very carefully, especially with the salt ect.,
I also did straight cardio for a year before adding anything else...to lose body fat. Muscles can form on top of the body fat making you look bigger and feel heavier. I stay away from the scale because although losing a pound or two can give you that euphoria, gaining a pound or two can be quite depressing...kinda silly when you think about it!!! I haven't weighed myself in 3 years, but I can feel the weight-loss in my body.
It took me a long time to gain control on the food issue...I started a food-diary which helped alot..and the trick is..the less you eat the fatty stuff, the less you crave it...it just takes a bit of time to get it out of your body..almost like quitting smoking...LOL...try drinking a ton of water to flush your system and eat alot of anti-oxidant foods.
I hope this helps and congrats on your weight loss!
