Anyone on meds trying to lose weight?

I'm on two such meds and have been for 11 years.

For me though honestly it's an age thing. It's harder in your 30s to maintain or to lose (it's a hormone thing).

I also travel a lot for work (eating out 3x/day). I think all of those factors play a lot more into my plan. In 2011 I lost 20 lbs and did not keep it off.

So a few things: How old are you? How often do you workout? Do you cook your meals at home? Do you eat local food, organic food, or do you eat factory farmed meat? Do you bring your lunch to work or eat out? Do you lift weights?

There's a lot more in play than blaming medication.

I know it can be harder to lose or maintain when you have medical issues at paly that require medication. But keep at it. I myself struggle at times to keep my AI thyroid condition steady. It is do-able...frustrating as all I dunno what I'm sure for you...but you can do this. Sometimes you just have to step back, re-evaluate, and get back to it.

Maybe analyze what it is you are eating, even mis-tracking the slightest things can throw you off whenc alories add up, or sodium from packaged foods. Maybe not drinking enough water or over-estimating calories burned through exercise? There's no way you can legitimately gain 4 lbs in a matter of days, not of fat anyway. That's a water weight gain.

I have the same issue. I do not loose weight quickly because of the meds and medical conditions. I have to watch my portions and keep moving among other things.
