I gained so much weight that

My husband’s friend at the gym didn’t recognize me. Ouch!

I guess that’s what happens when I let myself gain 80 pounds.

I just don’t want off olanzapine

So I’m hoping my new diet and exercise routine helps

I know the feeling too well…. Ugh.

I don’t even feel like myself, haven’t for a couple years, because of the weight gain.

I wish you much luck with your diet and exercise!!!

I was over 280lbs when I was on Olanzapine at the end of 2015. I switched meds and lost the weight but I’m still obese. I lost about 10lbs recently but I can’t tell in the mirror. Losing weight is frustrating!

I’m sure you already know this but I think it’s mostly about diet. I think drinking enough water can help and also filling up on fruits and veggies helps too. Wishing you success. Springs here it’s grind time :smile:

Olanzapine is kind of med that no matter if you eat or not,doubles your weight …

I’m obese from it and can’t lose weight,i switched to Clozapine two years ago…

I could hear my self getting fatter on it.

I’m trying. I’m lifting weights too and doing the elliptical but my ankle is still healing so I can only do so much

I agree. I’m now eating super healthy and only 1200 calories per day. Hopefully it helps

It’s amazing you’re able to do that. I remember you mentioning it before. I have a really hard time tracking calories… Maybe if I was a little more diligent about it :thinking:

I plan out my meals a day in advance.

I measure, count, and weigh everything.

I put each individual ingredient of a meal in to get the most accurate calorie count.

It’s not so hard once you set your mind to it. @ThePoet

That action has a very high success rate. Most people arent that patient to do that but the weighing and measuring is very worth it. It’s amazing how much a serving size is for everything. We live in a country that’s about excess, I think. No restaurant ever serves the right portions appropriate for a human. It’s worth the education for sure.
