How I Lost Weight Without Surgery, Drugs and How You Can Too

I'm going to put this on my wedding blog because weight loss is a big topic with brides-to-be. Maybe you want to slim down a little for the big day. Maybe you bought a dress a little small, hoping to fit into it (not a good idea, but don't panic, we got you covered). Here's how I lost almost 80 pounds (30 in just a few months). Left pic is me (on the right) before, right is me (on the right) after.


I was a chubby child, then slimmed down around 12. I never had a weight problem till age 40, even through four kids. Then I lost a stillborn infant and hit a nasty depression jag. I started taking the antidepressant Paxil (paroxetine). I couldn't shed post-pregnancy weight as I normally would, breast-feeding. I lost another pregnancy, spiraled further into depression and gained more. In all, I put on 100 pounds. I quit Paxil in 2010 and started dieting (not too successfully). I got serious about weight loss in fall 2012. I've lost about three quarters of the weight without surgery or drugs.
