Got on the scale again for the first time in a while and was shocked that it said 193, I was at 240 lbs in July.
I gained a bunch of weight, probably 70 lbs, from being put on remeron and zyprexa for bipolar disorder, my doctor switched me to latuda and I also quit eating sugary junk food every day. I am more mindful of what I eat, I work out semi regularly, got really into running. I ran 6 miles the other day. Could not run a single mile in October when I got down to 20 lbs. I also got sober the end of September and have stayed sober since.
I have 30 more pounds to lose to get to my target weight but yes it is possible to lose weight. This was medication related but the biggest factor in my weight gain was eating junk food every day and eating lots of it. I cut that out and my weight slowly went away. Do not stop taking your meds without a doctors supervision.
I feel way better about myself but still have a ways to go. I was stuck around 207 for a while but as I limited my eating to three meals a day and less calories it dropped more.
