Everyone knows bipolar meds can cause some serious weight gain. I wanted to start a new diet, motivational thread!

Please share:

What have you eaten today?
Have you exercised?
What med are you ou on or were on that made you gain?

I was on clozaril last year and it made me blow up like a balloon! I went from 130lbs to 185lbs. I was so uncomfortable. Needless to say I am no longer on that med. The med I'm on right now that I think is making it hard to lose weight is loxapine.

I'm down to 149lbs right now. I'm trying to get down to 130lbs again, but am really struggling

So far I've eaten a cup of bran cereal with two cups of almond milk, an apple, a bowl of oatmeal with flaxseed in it, a cup of beans and two tablespoons of salsa.

I didn't sleep again last night and haven't exercised yet because I'm physically exhausted, but I will. I do 1000 sit-ups and 300 jumping jacks a day.

I try to keep it under 1400 calories, but am thinking I'm going to have to restrict more.

Anyway. That's me! You?
