I weighed myself this morning
and I'm very proud to announce I'm down to 128lbs!
This time 2 years ago I was a few pounds short of 200lbs.
I'm very proud!

Congrats. I'm a guy and I myself am having a hell of a time battling the bulge. My normal weight is about 155 lbs., but due to clinical depression I had to try just about every combination of meds possible...Many of them still in the experimental stage, so I've been a guinea pig of sorts. Anyway, long story short, the only combination that has been able to keep the demons at bay is a cocktail of Prozac and Zyprexa. Prozac has its share of side-effects but nothing I can't handle. Zyprexa on the other hand...Its most prominent side-effect is weight gain. Once I started taking it I literally gained 35 lbs in 35 days, so now I weigh 190 lbs! I gained all that weight in just over ONE month! So now none of my clothes fit anymore and I'm always tired. It's hard to walk long distances because my legs are still that of a 155 pound man and they're not used to supporting all this extra weight. I wish I could stop taking the meds like you did, but I know that I would become severely depressed again. So now I have the choice of either being thin and horribly melancholy, or fat but sane. I'm as vain as the next guy, but I have to opt for sanity.
Megagene I know it can be a tough call those meds will make you gain weight but it is your well being that comes first try to keep your spirits up it will all work out .Originally Posted by Dixie_Darlin
