Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here: (OP)
I am making this thread to help and motivate the brothers and sisters who want to lose weight.. I realize many of you actually want to pack on some pounds so this isn't for you..
enter the food you are having and don't exceed it in caloric intake..
Now I wouldn't advise losing more than a pound a week but some of you might opt for two. Please be mindful that even though your body will breakdown your fat reserves to make up for the deficit it will also breakdown muscle and I won't get into the biochem of that perhaps one of those who newly entered medical school can wow us by listing their fatty acid synthesis and breakdown cycle but we are not interested in that for the purposes of this thread unless you really want to be convinced, know that your body on daily basis has to use energy to filter your waste, detoxify you and pump your tissues full of O2 amongst thousands of other physiological and biochemical pathways..
so to cut down all the mumbo jumbo this is about all you need a diary:
So you wake up and document what you have had I'd also advise a food scale for those of you awful at guesstimating with a single serving is but if you are not then you just put down everything and calculate:
for instance today I had 225 calories for breakfast broken down to:
One English Muffin 120 calories
one Pastrami slice 30 calories
one slice of american cheese 55 calories
one coffee with coffee mate 20 calories
taking the total to 225 for breakfast
Dinner (or lunch) depending on your perspective I had
1/4 cup white beans with tomato sauce 198 calories
Indian fried rice 221 calories
taking my dinner total to 419 calories for a total of 644 consumed
the last meal of the day I'll probably have cereal but you get the picture my daily caloric intake doesn't exceed 1200 (and as I said you can determine that using the scale above) so I have 556 calories left on my scale which I guess I can also have a snack a banana or something if I want..
_________________________________
so if you want to carry on this thread at the end of the week you can report your energy level and weight loss (or not)
eat a protein bar or coffee or both together when you're not hungry and it will keep you full and not hungry and then ear dinner in your usual time a healthy portioned meal. Water also a full glass of it with some peanuts or some nuts will do the same.

I am so happy someone brought this up!! I'm still working my ways to lose weight, and still going strong at it. if any of you brothers and sisters have the wii system. Here is few good games to try.. Wii fit plus, My fitness coach (the workouts is ok but the woman acts more of a high speed robot) and Gold Gym's Cardio workout. Besides that you can lose calories by playing the wii instead. I was hooked the first time playing it, I had a great workout!

My medication am on put weight on me as well there anti depressants and anti psychotics
So its common that they make you gain weight but i need to take them as am very ill with out them
Re: Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here:
Aisha I responded to you on my website.
And as far as anti depressants and anti psychotics you've become addicted to them. You are telling yourself you need them, I responded to you in that regards too. These kind of medications cause further chemical imbalance in your body in the long term. These doctors do not care about the well being of people but only what pharmaceuticals make profits for them and vice versa. There is a cure to everything and it doesn't have to be through pills.
Re: Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here:
With out the medication i become a danger to myself and others i have been with out them before things got so bad that i attacked my husband with a knife when i thought he was the devil luckly my husband managed to get the knife off me ...i had to see the crisis team after that for an assessment so i feel i need to take them
I am stable at the moment thanks to the medication.

Can you tell me what the medications are called, I bet you these medications induce this. Most of the people who are suicidal, maniac, psychotic, etc.. and more on these medications while temporarily seeming OKAY while a zombie.
I told you that I was on these medications for a brief time, and how I got off them alhamdulillah was the best decision. These psychiatrists are morons because when a person has a crisis in their life, stress, chemical imbalances, they prescribe these medications and try combinations until they 'get it right', no bloodwork is ever done, just experimentation upon you. Long term they cause more problems and you become addicted.
The underlying problems what led you to that psychotic episode or depression or low self esteem is not really taken into account.
I always call psychiatrists the imams of shaytain imamas of kufr because thats what they are. They listen, they give naseehah without Allah's hidaya, and they try prescribing so many medications until they 'get it right' and they hook you on life.
This aside, I can still try to help you to lose 30kg in one year if you are willing.
You are doing all this to yourself when you put yourself down or always focus on the negative. Losing 1kg a week is perfectly healthy and very viable. You just have to have the desire to change, put it in action, follow through with consistency and with time achieve the results.
If you want instant results you will be dissapointed.
Anyways all I can do for people is give sincere advice, its up to them to follow through. I cannot force people to exercise or eat a certain way, that is up to them. I can just advise them based on my experience and my own struggle. I was morbidly obese and I fought over it. i tried everything right and wrong over the years to get there too. People advised me too what to do who were more experienced.. but i didnt listen sometimes. So i learned from all that.
People want instant results and thats when ppl are dissapointed.
Re: Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here:
The medication that i am on are clomipramine , chloprizphine ,Risperdone and Valium they dont make me like a zombie at all in fact i have problems sleeping i can stay awake for over 24 hours some times even longer I know that some medication can make you zombie like but i havent had a problem with mine at all I cant stop them unless i get a dr to tell me to get off them I appreciate your advice and i do want to lose weight but i really do need this medication
If i went off my medication it would put me and everyone else in danger and i cant take that chance
Re: Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here:
The easiest way to lose weight IMO is simply to learn the basics of how cals in/out works including carb/protein/fat. Keep a food diary like one in myfitnesspal.com. Use a kitchen scale to weigh ur food (if ur really precise).
If it's too complex, simply reduce fried/oily/fast food as they are often very high in fat(ultimately calories). Eat more whole foods. If you are obese and you try this for one month or even a week you will definitely see results. InshaaAllah.

I understand that, and it's now because you are addicted to them, that's alot of medications.. like i told you these doctors do no bloodwork and just jam pack you with medications until the 'combination works'..
Going off cold turkey would be a disaster i know that, but i tappered off.
It is worth the effort like i said how i got off, thankfully i was only on two and not long as i realized what it was doing for me... it is the wrong way to fix the problem and these psychiatrists only care about profits and as do the pharmaceuticals.
If you gradually tapper off, reduce doses, build a positive attitude and sincere du'a to Allah i gaurantee u inshAllah u will overcome all the negatives, all the low self esteem and through physical and mental activity balance out your chemicals as i did and increase ur self esteem, lose ur weight, become stronger, become mentally and physically stronger. It's worth the fight trust me.

With all due respect you are not a doctor, you don't know anything about my medical problems or have my notes and history
you are someone that i don't know very well telling me i must stop my medication, Who am i most likely to listen to?
my doctor that's who
I am not discussing this any further
Thank you
Re: Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here:
You don't have to eat less to lose weight. Certainly you don't have to starve yourself! In fact, eating too little will make your metabolism to go down. thus, you'll be burning far less calories than normal, causing you to conserve fat!
A balanced diet is the key. Switch fattening foods with high fiber low calorie ones that fill you up but won't make you fat. Eat only when you're hungry. But don't put off eating when you are genuinely hungry, otherwise you'll become so hungry that youll eat more than you should.
eat at certain times only. Avoid eating between meals. No matter how much you crave a midmorning snack, avoid it. Tell yourself you'll eat at lunch time. If you must eat anything, then a piece of fruit or a small cookie.
Exercise more. even a 1/2 hour walk daily can help you become more fit. Slowly increase the exercise. Join a fitness center if you can.

You have been convinced that this is what you need and your psychiatrist has you convinced as well. So that's your life and your decision. People are not commanding you to do things only advising you, and I already mentioned I'm not your doctor, but you are not the only person in the whole world who was put on these medications or taken off these medications and I gave my own example. You should read up more on the damage that anti depressant medications do long term and yes you are addicted to them and that's the bottom line whether you like to hear the truth or not and I will say it even if it upsets you fisabillah.
Re: Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here:
Keep your goals in sight.
Try to change your mindset so you don't see food as something that removes your sadness. Exercise and control over eating is even more pleasing than the temporary taste of food and any feelings of goodness it might bring. Success is a very enjoyable experience and feeling success when you watch yourself eat the way you want and look the way you want makes you feel much better about yourself and increases your motivation.
Try to see your reflection in a full-length mirror before you start eating. Experts say it makes you eat less.
Re: Do you want to lose weight? If yes then enter here:
I have always maintained my weight. I can wear the clothes I wear when I was a teenager and trousers too! Middle age has not spread my waistline and many people have remarked on this. I just say, I eat a fairly balanced diet but more importantly I don't live to eat (as do a lot of people) but I eat to live. I do enjoy food, but I stop eating after I the hunger pangs are gone. I do not eat until I am full, but more to stop the hunger. I guess, that way, it is preventive, without me ever realising it specifically until quite recently when someone made a comment.
