So I've been on a 1200 calorie (per day) diet and going to the gym 6 days a week doing both cardio and weight training in an attempt to lose weight. I should be losing weight but I'm not. It appears I've actually gained some weight. Could this be because of medications? I'm on both Lithium and Zyprexa.
It's so incredibly frustrating and it's making my anxiety and body issues even worse than they already were. I can't figure out why I'm not losing weight. In the past with diet and exercise I've been successful in losing weight. I'm just wondering if my medications could be causing such a huge issue in my efforts.
