I walk 4km/h (80 steps per minute) during 30min or 1 hour, almost everyday.

I eat 1700 kcal, sometimes more and sometimes less. When i’m on diet i eat 1500 kcal. On diet I try to avoid food that make me bloat.

Were you taking anti-psychotic medication for that 1-year when losing those 15kg?

How do you rate this med? I am thinking of going on it as my Amisulpride is giving me high prolactin

If I can find clothes that fit then… I wish there was an acceptable weight for it because it seems impossible to permanently reverse.

32

Yup, i was taking AP when i lost the 15kg.

In the US average height and weight is 5’9’’ and 198 lbs. Ideal height and weight charts would say 160 ish to 185 ish. Screw ideal height and weight charts. They don’t reflect reality.

I’m 73 kg on abilify. Healthy bmi is 68kg. Need to lose loads of weight though cos I wanna be less thn 68kg.will do that this year hopefully

For weight gain it’s good, but I went psychotic while on it, so I stopped it. Not sure why that happened. Other people have had good experiences with this medication though.
