Weight Loss and Anti-depressants

GoldenSnidget

Hi Everybody!

I have enjoyed reading the message boards and hope people on MFP message boards can share their stories.

My fiance is overweight and hypothyroid because of his medications. I have been searching for successful stories of weight loss for people on anti-depressants and anti-psychotics. One of his medications, lithium, made him hypothyroid. He's 5'9 and approx 236 lbs.

There is very little information for men who are hypothyroid, too. And even less about people who have lost weight, while taking these types medications.

I started a blog, https://hypothyroidman.wordpress.com/ ,on his behalf to chart his journey. I'm very into exercise and nutrition, so he has lost 6.6 lbs (during the holidays!) on the diet I created for him in the past 3 weeks. Just in case people would rather post there.

I would love to hear any success stories, and also offer hope to those who are in the same boat where the cure is almost as bad as the disease.

Thanks!
