My psychiatrist prescribed me a medication that can be known to cause diabetes. Nothing to do with nutrition. If your boyfriend treats bipolar or schizophrenic patients he should know what medication group I'm talking about.

No, my psychiatrist prescribed it.

Wow. I am stunned and excited to read all of these responses! I am going to ask the practice for a different dr. I went food shopping today and "no carbs" made things challenging lol. However, I Think I mentioned that I am on a medication that can cause prediabetes, it also makes it extremely difficult to lose weight, and…

Thank you for all of the replies! She wrote no carb on my new diet plan which says Mediterranean diet on it. She is actually part of a very large practice that is part of our local hospital and very well respected. I do think I'm going to call and ask for a new doctor as she makes me feel so uncomfortable. I'm going to see…

I literally cried reading your story and looking at your amazing pictures. You are truly inspiring. I have about 60 lbs to lose. I go to a metabolic specialist bc my meds slow my body down. Tomorrow is my 1st weigh in. But looking at you makes me want to keep trying. Eating healthy and exercise. I do my best. Thank you for…

I am eating low/no carb to the best of my ability. My weight is coming off quick so I know it must be that. I see my dr on Thursday an am hoping for more recipes. I'd love to hear your experience and what you eat that helps you lose.

I'm 5'4 and would like to lose between 50-60 lbs. I've lost 10 in the last month. Finally, my kindred spirits! Add me as a friend if you want. Nice to meet you!

Some skin sags more than others. I went from 225 to 140 at age 32. I found that exercise helps, but my belly still looked as if I'd had a child. I did have surgery to remove the excess skin,(tummy tuck) and now that I've gained the weight back, my stomach is still relatively flat. I think age and genes are a factor but I…

Congratulations and keep up the good work!!!! :)

I added you!

I had a tummy tuck for some of my loose skin. They have loans to pay it off. I paid mine off in 18 months w/0% interest but they have other plans as well. If you go on the Real Self website there are a lot of recommendations for surgeons in different areas.

My upstairs neighbor has all hardwood floors. She exercises loud, she cleans loud, and she walks loud. But she's a nice girl with a nice boyfriend and I would rather have that than some of the other neighbors I have had in the past. I exercise barefoot on carpet around 11am while my downstairs neighbor plays rock music…

I think it's more frustrating, but like the others said, you know you can do it. I was a lifetime weight watcher member and leader and put all the weight back on. But I did it once, I'll do it again. I wS 15 yrs younger too. Lots of factors. I'm taking it a day at a time right now and doing things differently so I don't…

Every 3 to 4 days. But I'm really looking forward to getting weighed at my doctors office in two weeks. Their scale has better numbers LOL

I don't know what you look like, but liposuction or something else to tighten your tummy might be your answer. You can work out and diet all you want, but if there is just some extra skin there, you may need to have something done cosmetically to fix that. Plastic surgeons usually give free consultations even ask your…

I just came back from a week in an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. I don't even know how much I usually Gain on one of these trips because I don't weigh myself. However this time I actually paid attention to what I eat, stuck to very healthy breakfast and gave myself a little treat at other meals. My husband and I split…

So sorry you're going through this. I've been divorced 2x. Jgnacta is on the money with suggestions. Get your assets and the lawyer. The things you thought he would never do, he will do and more. I walked miles as a stress reliever and loss quite a bit of weight from #2. But it gets better, and life goes back to normal and…

You also might want to see your dr. If your thyroid is sluggish, it can effect your weight loss too. Or certain meds or supplements. Everyone works different but you might do better eating 6 meals rather than 3. I was in the same place as you. Losing nothing. I'm under a Drs care now. Having tons of bloodwork done although…

I'm 5'4 and need to lose 50 pounds. I would love to give and get support so please add me. I did this once before on WW but now my weight gain is from meds. :'( I just started a medically monitored weight loss program and I've lost 10lbs in 2 weeks but I feel like I'm anorexic. I'm leaving on Sunday for Mexico to celebrate…

I'm on 500 mg Seroquel too. It makes it so hard to lose anything. I recently got diagnosed with hypothyroidism which is a side effect of lithium. The doctor said that the medication can help with weight loss. I work out at least four times a week with cardio videos and a little bit of weights at home. I have still not lost…
