Please only people with this type or experience of similar reply. My psychiatrist prescribed Abilify, he told me to take them for 6 weeks and see how it goes. It’s been 3 weeks and I gained 10lbs and stopped exercising. I know it’s not an excuse, I’m hungry all the damn time and I’m so sleepy, I can fall asleep ANYWHERE. I…

Losing weight just by counting calories?
You can't lose weight by staying under your goal calories? Because I haven't lol I'm at 1200 and if I do go over, I'll go over by 50 at the most. How hard do I have to exercise yo shed the weight? I'm 5'1, 173.... my first goal is getting down to 150. Do I have to go low carbs? Because I'm on point with the calories...

Vegans.
So I’m only doing this for a month, just to detox my body and empty my intestines of all this meat. Before this, I was doing extremely low carb and I lost a ton of weight doing that. My question is, how do I get more protein in my diet besides avocado? Also, how do I pack more calories in? Im almost at 600, already full…

I gained 4 pounds.
My eating has been the same, under 1200 cals a day and under 20g of carbs a day. The only difference is that I’m going to the gym now. Ever since I started going, I stopped losing weight and actually gained 4 pounds. Been going to the gym for 1 month now. Wtf is going on? Should I eat less? This is ridiculous, the only…

Eating back what you work out?
I don’t really care to eat back my calories that I work out. I’ve gotten used to not eating much that it’s hard for me to over eat at this point. That won’t mess me up though right? I have about 20 more pounds to lose but I’m working on getting toned mainly. Also, if I do everything right, how long would I approximately…

Carbs.
What’s the least amount of carbs a person can eat on a daily basis and not get sick? I’m eating under 20g for about 3 weeks now and I’ve lost weight but lately I’ve been feeling light headed. I’m going to start going to the gym so should I up my carb intake once I start going? Thanks!

Losing weight while going over?
So, I’m pretty good at keeping my calories within my recommend calorie range to lose weight (which is 1200). I have bad days like most people. Why is that on my bad days, I lose weight?

I got one. I’m going to start using it on Monday. I have a good idea of how to use it. My goal is 2 pounds a week of weight loss which I’ve done before without the food scale but my weight loss stalled. So my question is: if I use the food scale super accurately, will I for sure lose 2 pounds a week. Even if I don’t…

Addictive personality and food.
So I love carbs to death. I love food in general. It’s seriously killing me.... I can’t control myself.

Question. My feet get numb.
Has anyone experienced this? My feet fall asleep or get numb when I get on my elliptical. That’s the only reason I cut my exercises short and I’m getting irritated.

Water
I know water is super good for you, I know this. From your experience though, does it help you actually lose weight? How much of a difference does it make? I don’t log my water because I drink maybe a total of 8oz a day which is NOTHING. And no, I don’t replace it with other drinks, I don’t drink anything. I drink about…

I just started working out from home...
I live a very sedentary lifestyle. I started doing aerobics for beginners from YouTube. My legs are very sore from the squats. So I have a question.
