The forest fire smoke and a bone spur on my right foot have hampered my own exercise this spring/summer. I’m sharing your pain here. Hopefully we both get back on track soon.

I’m on Risperdal Consta, Geodon and Seroquel. All are AP’s.

I eat two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. If I get a sweets craving, I eat a small square of dark chocolate 72-75% cacao and thats it. Seems to work.

I no longer count calories. I just measure portion sizes and keep them small. Usually a half a cup of starch, half a large plate of cooked vegetables, and a cup of entree or palm sized piece of meat.

I now weigh, and am weight stable at 157.2 lbs. I’m female and 5 ft. 8.5 in. BMI is normal.

I take 200 mg of the appetite reducer Topomax daily. It also is a mood stabilizer and reduces the severity of migraines.

I’m getting desperate.

İf you remove bread from your diet you lose 5 kg(i think 10 pounds)but if you want to loose more than this you have to exercises that burn at least 400 calories daily. otherwise its impossible lose weight on meds.i m eating max 1200 calories daily and i m 112 kilos.

Yes thanks @anon68444330
I’ve decided to give up bread entirely.
It’s going to be tough but I have to do it.

My psychiatrist said absolutely no bread.

@Wave i figured out that for some reason you can eat a small portion of something with chick peas in it and feel completely full.

I have it often.

Might have some for dinner tonight.

It’s true @Loke. I’ve noticed that too. Hummus fills you up quickly

I love hummus but I can no longer eat it because I have bread with it.

I see. What about having it with fresh vegetables? Like carrots, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower…? That’s what I do

No I don’t like having it with veggies but maybe I can add some to broccoli and try it.
I might like it.

Thanks @LilyoftheValley
