I gained 25 lbs from my meds. Then as my meds increased my weight started going up more. I was like Hooligan had the commitment issue. Plus a few of my meds were known for causing weight gain so I saw it as point less. Well I started pushing 200 and let me tell u something I was going to do something. In 2012 before taking meds I loved my body. So I decided to start eating healthier. My mom joined a local Y and added me. I sad ****yes! I might not make it there 6 days per week like her. I've been going since the end of April this year. I use Nike Training App on my iPhone to track the days I go, my calories I burn and how long I work out. So far I've lost abt 10 lbs. I had to fit working out in my routine and you don't have to go to a gym. Go walking. Some people go walking in the morning in their local malls. U can start out with short walks like 15-30 mins once or twice a week. And if the weekdays are bad for you workout on the weekend and if you work in a office at take the stairs instead of the elevator. Pack your lunch (healthy) and don't eat out. I cheat on pay day. LOL.
