Answers:
Antidepressants can often lead to weight gain!. Eating properly and exercising can help, and they can help with mood too, but you are still going to have this drag on you!. It would be best to work towards getting off the effexor!. Acupuncture can treat depression and anxiety with no side effects!. But taper your dose slowly, under the supervision of a doctor!.

eat natural, simple, and fresh foods!. There is a new diet out there called "The Asian Diet" which seems to work pretty well and is balanced!. There are two books out on it, one is a cookbook and the other describes the principles of the diet!. I would not recommend diet pills, supplements, or any fad diet (they are usually very unbalanced)!. Avoid heavy and sticky foods (the way foods are outside the body is how the are inside the body and you already feel heavy and stuck)!. Eat mostly vegetables, mostly cooked, no diet foods, no dairy, a little meat, and more simple grains (more rice, less bread and pasta)!.
Get some exercise every day, even if it's just one minute!. One minute is better than none!. Vary the exercises you do!.
Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok listen i wanted to loose about the same amount of weight! Ive always been so petite and cute but recently ive been gaining and gaining!. But im on a diet that seems to work!. well ive tried another one too that also works!. Ive tried both the 1200 calorie diet and the special k diet!.
1200 calorie diet- this diet is pretty good i mean basically yu can eat anything yu want all day just yu cant go over your daily 1200 calories!
special k diet- this diet basically works so that you eat special k cereal for breakfast and lunch!. yu get to have one of the snack bars in between breakfast and lunch and then between lunch and dinner!. Then for dinner yu can have whatever yu want!. yeahs its pretty cool!. =)
Excercise- walk around with friends, play with dogs, take a jog, dance to your music, ride a bike go rollor skating!. Everything burns calories!. EVERTHING! But its the amount that needs to be burned!.
Calories to be burned-
Food Intake: 1,200 Per Day
One Pound equals 3,500 Calories
To loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat
1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories Burn
You must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound at least!. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day!.
Tips-
*Eat a good breakfast because its whats fuels yer body for the day!.
* Dont eat passed 8 pm
* cut out soda
* if your going to have a chocolate bar only have half one day and the other half another day
* cut out some bread( dont ever do it)
* Morning time eat cereal or oatmeal!.
* excercise with a buddy
* track how many calories your loosing
* DONT GIVE UP WHEN IN GETS HARD!!!
Good luck let me know how things work =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

depending on how much body fat your carrying anyway
I started to go to the gym to work out, lost about 7 - 10 pounds of Fat in a month, although i was drinking Muscle & Fat shakes, mixed with protein powder, eating loads
So it's if you have the body fat to lose, for someone like you i'd recommend running & swiimming they say they burn the most caloriesWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think it's amazing that you're exercising 30 minutes every day! That's really a great start!.
You mentioned that you don't know how to curb your craving but you're not overeating!? You may be without realizing it!. I've heard a lot of people give the advice to think before you eat, i!.e!.stop for at least a minute and ask yourself if you really want to eat that chocolate, cracker, etc!. I've tried that a lot lately and it really helps!. Half the time I'm bored and reaching mindlessly for chocolate!. I'd rather day dream about skinny thighs for 30 seconds then eat that piece of chocolate!
Also, I've been losing weight on SENSA and the main thing I've noticed is that it has really curbed my overeating and curbed my mindless snacking (4pm onwards is a killer for me) and that when I sprinkle it on everything it really makes me lose interest in what I'm eating after a bite or two!.

Also - I've been keeping a journal on what i eat and why and that's been really helpful
