My binges are emotional reactions to stress. Try to figure out your triggers.

Could you be a food addict?

Consider the possibility of a food addiction

I have had good luck with Geodon as an antipsychotic. Weight gain isn't an issue for most people. You're right about the shortage of psychiatrists. The entire mental health system in Washington state is a mess.

There's more room at my calves in rubber boots

My surgery was October. I too gained weight. A big help is my spin class and walking an hour a day. Good luck

Consider taking your measurements as another way to see progress. I've only lost a few pounds this month but lost 4 inches.

Thanks everyone for the great responses. Very helpful and insightful

My mother in law had back pain from her cholesterol medication. It's a thing

Not all antipsychotics cause weight gain. geodon is the one I am on that doesn't cause weight gain. Check it out.

Great job! I find maintaining a lot harder than losing

It's a diet designed by Dr.Pierre Dukan. You can use a search engine for more details

Work with a psychiatrist. They know a lot more than a GP. There are medications that work that don't cause weight gain. Wellbutrin for example

Me too. Went from 225 to 161. Back up 15 lbs. add me if you want

I find that getting on this forum and reading success stories helps me. I also find that reading books on overeating and diet help

Oat bran helps some people

To help get back on the bike, I read diet books

I hope Timothy doesn't have kids

I have that watch and it constantly overestimates the calories burned. Be very careful

I'm a gym person. I do more there because I see others working hard. Also the social aspect. People expect me to show up. Accountability is important to me

For me maintaining is harder for reasons listed above. There is no end in sight. I will be weighing daily and logging daily to maintain.

Congrats on losing 117 lbs! That's amazing! You can do anything you set your mind to.
