I’m not obese yet, but I’m gaining weight quickly on the risperidone. I tried to fight it in the beginning, but it just got too hard. It feels like a losing battle.
I’m considered obese but have not given up with stopping binge eating. It’s the toughest thing to do but I don’t want to catch horrible diseases prematurely.
I’m about 60 - 70 lbs overweight. It’s all concentrated on my stomach, right where it puts the most strain on my lower back. It seems like the med’s increase your appetite a little, and slow your metabolism a little, so that you put on tons of weight. The combination is deadly. I really need to lose some weight.
I’m 235 and 5’10" (male). I was 256 but I do 10k steps a day religiously and eat nothing but fish and veggies, etc. There’s no escaping it, the meds (seroquel, abilify et al) have done a number on me.
My sympathies are with those in the struggle with me; it’s really not fair.
I wound’t call myself obese yet, but I’m kind of overweight.
I do worry that I’ll most likely get diabetes, and people around me seem concerned that I might get clots or heart problems down the road.
It’s just so hard to lose weight. I’m not motivated to exercise, and it’s hard to control my food intake.
I don’t want to have to do a lot of changes, and it feels unfair that my sisters are able to stay thin without much effort.
i was obese at one point (250 pounds and 5 '11") but ive lost enough now that im just overweight rather than obese. trying to get down to a healthy non overweight level, though
