I am currently on a med that slows my weight loss down a great deal. Does anyone else have this problem? Or a jump start plan? Or any advice?! TIA!

    What med? I'm on Seroquel, which helped me gain about 40lbs in the first place but I need it for my bipolar and anxiety. It makes you gain though by increasing your appetite. I'm not on Ritalin because YES I DO HAVE adult A.D.D. so that decreased my appetite, but its definitley not making it easier to loose. I do think on of them is hindering my hard work though :/
    I'm just wondering if you can talk to your doctor and see if there is any other med w/o those side effects. What I do is cardio 6 days a week, and eat as close to my calorie goal as possible. The weight is going but it is slow.

    Actually its Lithium for my bipolar! Its helped me gain 35 pounds and I have yo-yo'd for the last few years. Its harder to loose the longer I've been on it. (9 years) and my Dr. says there isn't really anything I can do about it! :( Glad to know I am not the only one struggling with this!
