[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any way you can stop taking the SSRI? And pick up more exercise? Something more intense than walking, something that makes you sweat? Numerous studies have shown that exercise, especially high intensity exercise, is as or more effective than meditation for mild to moderate anxiety and depression.

Even if you can’t, take a spin class and you could kill two birds with one stone…[/quote]

Yes, I did go off of it 6 months ago and no weight change. 
I do weight lifting 3/4x a week for 45 min a sessioj with a trainer and daily pilates in a studio because I enjoy it. I don’t really think my fitness could improve. Before I picked up lifting I was actually spinning 3/4 days a week and switched to lifting because it’s supposed to be more effective than cardio. [/quote]

Your fitness could definitely improve. Brisk walk 60 mins/day on non strength days. Also if you’re not lifting heavy, you won’t see much in the way of results. If you do, muscle weighs more than fat so…
Taking drugs with potentially nasty side effects for a vanity 15 is nuts when you really are not doing the bare minimum in terms of exercise.[/quote]

10k is 5 miles a day! I walk/jog 3 miles a day every single day (other 4k are natural steps) , take a studio pilates every single day except Sunday and heavy lift 4x a week in a gym. Every single day people. I’m working out a ton. [/quote]
Then you need to walk faster and/or switch up your routine.[/quote]
What is your pace?[/quote]
