So I've lost 3 pounds of it since posting this and it's also almost that lovely time of the month that I totally forgot about. Add 5 pounds right there. Shoot.

Bahahahahahhaha I can't even say what my husband says the 7 pounds is LOL (face palm)

Yeah there is no way! Even when I say I ate like *kitten*, I still made better choices than normal, just ate some fried foods and drank a bunch of wine hahaha.

I wish it would go back to the stomach problems! It went from that to fever to nose running to can't breath to sore throat to headache and body aches to cough. Still can't think about pizza.

I do apologize for my over-reaction. I was sick and tired and I flipped a little, but that's no excuse. However, I went to the doctor because I got so sick I required a steroid shot and an antibiotic. I did test positive for the flu. While I was there I showed him my activity and my food diary on MFP. He said my weight…

It was the flu.

Update. I stopped taking it. Couldn't remember words or more so I would say words I didn't mean. Like I would want to say "beanie" and would say "hoodie" like 10 times before I realized. I also couldn't remember what an acordan was. It didn't help with my appetite at all. I will just keep doing what i am doing.

This, as well as the original comment are the reason why I'm not going to participate in this community any further. My post was not written for me to be insulted by my weight loss. I eat 1600 cal a day plus. I take 2 mile walks sometimes and I do aerobics sometimes. I eat three medium sized meals a day and two snacks. I…

Thanks I will do some research!

This is the best thing I have read.....probably ever. I haven't been more excited to read the next part of something since Harry Potter.

I can tell you right now that this is going to leave a permanent scar on my brain. I don't ever want greasy food again! Probably for the best haha. I can laugh because I have a heating pad on my stomach.

Gallstones?!?!? Would one bad meal do that?

Mine is 1600 now. I could do the math and make it 1200 on my own, would just prefer to not see it like an overage every day.

I've actually had this burger before at a Wyndham hotel in Orlando, Florida. It was called the Krispy Creame burger and it was AMAZING. It had bacon on it. It's probably the single reason I am on a diet now lol.

I've lost 26 pounds in 30 days on 1600 calories

Depo is the reason I gained 140 pounds in the 2 years that I was on it. Well, not just deli, it was my poor choices but not only did it effect my appetite but it messed up my hormones to the point where I did not process fat correctly.

Thanks for the input. I think I just shocked my body.

So I've only been on Topamax a few days. I ate 1600 calories a day and walked and did aerobics to lose that weight. I lost the weight in a very healthy way. I was just eating very poorly before so it was a big change.

I want a burger with a donut as the bun, but that's a other discussion.

I speaking of breads and rice primarily.

I meant if I have to eat a carb, like rice or bread, is wheat healthier? I find they sometimes have more calories but more nutrients.

Thank you for your replies. I have been on it for two days with no symptoms at all so far.

To answer a few questions, yes it was my psychiatrist that prescribed the Topamax with my bipolar medication. He started me on the lowest dose and is seeing me back in a week. If I see any problems I will discontinue it. I have a food scale and use it religiously. I have not lost weight in almost 2 weeks. My thyroid has…

I got what I needed from this post though. I have a job that requires quick thinking and I can't be impaired in any way. The doctor acted like there were minimal side effects.

I need to lose 140 pounds. I'm 5'11 and 287 pounds. I have bipolar I disorder but I am already on a medication for it. My weight loss has stopped. I actually gained 4 pounds. I'm eating 1600 calories per day. I do 30 minutes aerobics in the morning and walk/jog 2 miles every evening 5 days per week. I have not slipped on…

He said it's also for weight loss. Around 25 per month. I've already lost 25 in 30 days using MFP.

I have been overweight for most of my life. I am now 33 and finally found out I have bipolar 1, which includes depression and anxiety. Once I got on medicine I have started losing weight! Not because of a side effect from the medicine itself, but once you get your mind right, you can think more clearly and consciously make…
