Thank you both! I sent you both fr's :)

I have been on various psychiatric meds for 18 years now. Lexapro, Paxil and Celexa all caused me to gain weight and have an insatiable appetite. I've been on Wellbutrin and I didn't have weight gain as a side effect. I'm on Pristiq now and I have not gained weight from that either.

Maybe your scale is broken? Is it a digital or just a regular one? My regular scale broke and stopped being accurate so I bought a digital scale that measures by two-tenths.

The two loves of my life.

Hey there! I have 100 lbs. to lose! I'm 38, also not getting any younger LOL.

I confess I love the Twilight series.

Mine are also variable, but usually breakfast and dinner have the most, with like 300-500. Lunch is hit or miss and snacks are usually about 200ish.

Hey Tosha! I'm 38, also bipolar (and anxiety and OCD!), and live in CT, but originally from Buffalo. I'm married and we have an 11 and a half year old son. My OCD and my love of food is what caused me to pack on 100 lbs! I'll add you :wink:

I have bipolar, anxiety and OCD. The OCD is what KILLED me. I gained 110 lbs. because I had too good of a relationship with food. Luckily, I am stable right now- the most stable I've EVER been. It's taken me 21 years to get here! I can sympathize with you all and I hope it doesn't affect your weight loss too much!

OMG this just made me sooo happy- I didn't overdo my carbs yesterday at all then!

I just started keto yesterday, but so far I really like whole natural almonds.

Hello everyone! I started keto today. I read a short book about it but I have a lot more to learn! I have over 100 lbs. to lose at this point, so any pointers, tips, help is appreciated!

Thanks!!!

Are you on medication? Like steroids or antidepressants? Meds can make you gain weight. I've been on anti-depressants that have made me gain a lot of weight so I switched. Message me if you want!

Hi there! I hear ya- I am bipolar and also an OC eater and it's very difficult to stay on track with all the ups and downs. How much weight do you need to lose? Perhaps we can keep each other motivated :) I started back here yesterday and I need to lose 85 lbs.

I go on my elliptical but don't do a warm-up first. I'm gonna try that.

Thanks everyone for your help!

Yes they are tighter in the thigh area. I also noticed that they aren't as tight today- I put them on yesterday after working out and today I put them on after not having worked out this morning. So... I guess your muscles swell up when you work out? That's what I'm thinking.
