I’m finally losing weight

Health and Recovery

My weight has been a struggle pretty much since I first started APs in 2018 when I was 20. My high weight was 296 then in one year(2024) I did extreme dieting and lost 102 pounds getting down to 194. But that triggered my binge/purge cycle and before I knew it I had gained almost everything back. My recent high weight that I’ve pretty much maintained for the past 6 months is 282. I’m sooooo happy to report that I’m now 268, 14 pounds down since February 14th. I’m finally seeing results but I’m trying so hard not to fall into a bad ED cycle or trigger my binging and gain it all back.

It helps that I don’t buy any junk food or sweets. I just don’t keep them around.

I weigh 220lbs. And I’m constantly exhausted. I wish I had the energy and motivation to exercise and lose weight.

It’s awesome that you managed to lose weight. With these drugs in the system, I know it’s hard.

Keep it up!

They say it’s 80% what you eat and only 20% movement/exercise. So if you can master a healthy diet you are well on your way. But I know it’s hard

I eat healthy. I only eat three meals a day. Muesli in the morning with yogurt. Two slices of dark bread to lunch and then dinner, often chicken and rice.

The last two weeks I have been eating fast food but that’s because I’m renovating my kitchen. I don’t have a oven.

I’m thinking of going omad but fasting makes me stressed as hell.

That feels like a lot to lose in a short time. Sxtremem changes are usually not sustainable

Good luck to you @Speedy we all have to find what works best for us. Everyone is different.

I think some of the weight is water weight because I’ve been eating less sugar and refined carbs.

Thanks! I need to taper down olanzapine but I still need the drug.
