Hey everyone, Does anyone have some tips for weight fluctuating around a certain weight? I understand this happens all the time on weight loss and can vary day by day, but recently I seem to be stuck around a specific weight for some time and never going below.

I've been on sertraline for about 6 months now and the very first month on it I gained 25 pounds (totally my own fault I was over eating to the max).
