[quote=Anonymous]Before I got pregnant with DS I weighed around 120 which took effort but was manageable. After DS was born I weighed around 130. Then I went on Zoloft for almost 2 years for anxiety  before I realized my habits hadn't changed but my weight had. It has crept up to around 145. I am five feet tall. This is unacceptable to me.

I have tried weight watchers twice but lost a total of 5 lbs the first time and actually gained a few pounds the 2nd time. I went off of the Zoloft completely about 3 weeks ago and have been tracking what I'm eating on mfp but have not list an ounce. I am eating around 1300 calories per day but I do go over my calories by 100-200 about 3 times per week. I do high intensity interval training at orangetheory twice a week and I walk at least 12000 steps daily.

Here is some additional info:
I am a vegetarian and am allergic to tree nuts. I have started incorporating salmon into my diet for protein but I do not want to eat other animal protein. I limit dairy as it makes me bloated and gassy. I don't drink soda, have one cup of coffee daily and drink water throughout the day. I do enjoy wine but don't drink excessively. I know cutting that out would probably help. I am hypothyroid but my endocrinologist says my synthroid is at the correct dose. My body does not process carbs/ sugar well (I had gestational diabetes) so I do not eat refined sugar and try to limit my fruit to apples and berries.

I feel like I am at my wits end. I know I need to give the Zoloft time to completely leave my body but I am running out of patience. It seems like every time I anticipate a loss on the scale I have actually gained half a pound. It's messing with my head and makes me want to either give up counting calories or restrict to an unhealthy level. I have a history with restricting and don't want to revert back to that. My sodium averages about 1500-1700 daily. I bought some weights to work with at home and I hope that will help.
