I am 6ā1ā too and I think I am between 220 and 230. My normal weight was 170 but I think those days are over. This is my new weight now.
My VA doctor said something about putting me in the Move program but I never heard anything back about it. Now I am working again. Donāt have time for that.

5ā5" 210lbs I donāt eat but I pick at things. I am trying to lose weight, it takes time though. I have been steadily losing. I hate being this fat.
I was 140, then I gained all this weight in a year. Horrible.

My bmi was 16 when I was 18 years old.
I had anorexia 
right now Iām around 260, but I used to be 279 lbs at my heaviest since I started taking the anti psychoticsā¦ Iām making progress, its just slow. I used to be a size large, but now Iām a triple xl. Its frustrating to be tight on money, but needing clothes, and then ultimately the goal being to make those clothes obsolete. Its definitely a position that makes you feel very unhappy about things. Iām trying to stay positive, but Iāve always struggled with body image even when I was thinnerā¦so it feels like Iāve let my youth waste away. I know it was the drugs making me gain weight, but I still feel bad about my size, even if I canāt really blame myself for it.

Iāve been in the VA MOVE program for over 20 years. I lost 50 lbs. Now, Iām very slowly putting the weight back on again.
I am 5ā7 and I weigh 135lbs
5ā5 and at current 124.4 pounds. Been working on losing weight for about 3-4 months and dropped 20 lbs. Now it working on building weight up by getting muscle growth going.
5 '10 at 180 pounds. Looking to lose weight soon though.
I have been having the absolute worst time losing weight lately. I just cannot seem to lose it. I weighed myself today after a week, my goal was to lose one lb, I gained a lb instead. I honestly think itās because of my relationship. He buys me ice cream and Mikeās hard and fast food and literally anything else thatās bad for me a lot of which I probably wouldnāt even eat if he werenāt eating it with me. He can afford to eat junk like that because his job involves hard labor and heās always losing weight but I canāt. I dont know what to do I need to build up the self discipline to say no, I canāt have that. Itās just so hard when itās offered to me free and its readily available when healthy alternatives are not.
I gained 35kg from 3 years on risperidone and ive lost 9kg of it so far on rexulti for a month and half, my weight before starting antipsychotics was still overweight (bmi was 28) but not as bad as it has become now

So youāve lost weight on rexulti?
Yeah, my weights stayed the same for about a week though. It hasnt gone up which is good but i mainly lost weight while my body was withdrawing from the risperidone and getting used to the rexulti in the first 2 weeks
