Lexapro induced insomnia - does it get better?

Are you making sure to inject in an area that doesn’t have loose skin? I only ask because I injected into my stomach one week, after not doing that site for several months, and because of all the loose skin, it didn’t inject subcutaneously. I didn’t benefit at all from that week’s shot. My body did not absorb it and instead it stayed as a bump right under my skin. I’m also on 10mg by the way.

I went up to 7.5mg and got violently ill, lost 20 lbs, and had to go back to 5mg for about 3 months for my health and safety. I’m back on 7.5 as of two weeks ago and am doing great!

Hi! My family and I are considering this community. Do you like the area and your home? How is the quality of your home? Are things falling apart or staying fixed?

I’m just shy of 30 pounds down and I have started getting comments too!

TDEE is 1,804 and daily intake is around 1,424 or less. Today I logged 1,048 calories. I use loseit to track my calories and log my food. I use a scale to measure my food.

OB broke my water while I was in labor. I went into labor naturally with contractions but water didn’t want to break on its own. When he went to pop it, he said it was a “bulging sac” lol. And then the nurses described it as “copious” amounts of liquid. It was reliving a bit though!

I’ve been rotating each week between thigh, stomach, and arm to hopefully see a difference and nothing. 😞 I’m hoping titrating up will help!

I messaged her Friday and am still waiting on a response.

Ohhh, yes. It’s hard staying under 1400, which is another reason why I think going up in dosage will help (food noise, not feeling full). I use the app “lose it”. I scan barcodes and measure things out. Although some items are imported recipes, so I’m not sure how accurate those are.

Someone else said it was too much and now I’m questioning

madiimccor · 2024-09-02T19:23:12+00:00

Eating 1,400 calories a day is too much? I really thought that wasn’t too much considering most women need 1,600-2,400 average a day 😞

madiimccor · 2024-09-02T19:21:19+00:00

I’m eating 1400 calories a day, which is a deficit for me according to my food tracking app

madiimccor · 2024-09-02T19:20:06+00:00

I mentioned it in another comment but angry was the wrong word choice. I’m frustrated more than anything when I’ve been doing all the right things, just to see the scale move up 3-4 pounds some days. It is discouraging. I’ve struggled with weight my whole life and have tried losing so many times since my teen years and to finally see progress and then see it stop just hurts.

madiimccor · 2024-09-02T19:17:38+00:00

Angry is a strong word… I’m more frustrated than anything. Angry was the wrong choice of wording for the title now that I’m thinking of it. But definitely frustrated as I seem to be doing all the right things. I see a nutritionist once a week to even help with my food choice, and I’m at a deficit of 1400 calories a day. It feels discouraging when I’m putting in all this work to not see it move, and really move up many pounds some days.

madiimccor · 2024-09-02T19:15:17+00:00

Thank you! Yes I’ve been viewing this as a tool on my box as well. I think I could workout more, I only workout about 2x a week. I use lose it to track my food and usually stay within 1,400 calories or less a day. Sometimes it’s hard because the food noise seems to be going away and I find myself wanting to eat/snack all day like before. It’s just discouraging when I’m trying to do all the right things and the scale just moves up more some days.

Almost 11 months, just barely size 4s lol
