Shedding those pounds 😮💨
I honestly cannot even say the exact month of when I started the journey. I do know the medications I was on for Depression, Mood Stabilizers, and Endometriosis all have played a huge factor into my weight increase by 106lbs. I have officially met my goal for April, set an overall goal for August! Officially being down 56lbs! Need to start toning and building muscle more! All in due time, just need to keep the determination up!
Weight loss journeys are often challenging and can be influenced by various factors, including medications, emotional health, and lifestyle changes. Many individuals face weight gain due to antidepressants and mood stabilizers, which can affect metabolism and hunger cues. Understanding this relationship is critical in developing effective strategies for weight management. To start toning and building muscle, incorporating strength training into your routine is essential. This could involve bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, or weightlifting. Also, ensuring a balanced diet rich in protein can support muscle growth and recovery. It's vital to remain consistent and patient throughout your journey, as results take time, but dedication will lead to success. Consider engaging with online communities or fitness groups for additional support and motivation!
