Iā€™m big,and often have missunderstanding with family, but all quality people Iā€™ve met in life were big.
In my city, before ww2, there was club of big men.
They were sucesfull business people and nobody beyond 100 kg could join the clubā€¦
They believed that big people are happier and that their life was fulfilled.
Main purpose of club was helping poor folks etcā€¦
I accept my look, and only problem is clothes that are hard to findā€¦

I think that is a typo, lol. 3.3 is extremely underweight. Iā€™m assuming you meant 33.

At my worst my BMI was 35.4

Now that I have lost weight (80lbs) my BMI is 23.6

Yes, sorry @Headspark, I just woke up after two day sleepā€¦
Any way, I came up with this thread bc we all take meds that induce weight gain, and we are stigmatized bc of itā€¦

My BMI IS 35.1 but Iā€™m finally starting to lose weight a little.

I lost like 6 pounds within 2 weeks.

I have to do something!

Thanks! After 4 long years I think my weight has stabilized at 160lbs Ā±. As @anon42606141 said these meds can cause a lot of weight gain. I took my last dose of olanzapine over 6 months ago and my weight has now been stuck at 160lbs for about a month now, and I am perfectly fine with that because it is within the normal weight range for my height (5ā€™9)

Yeah, but I was on 40mg. As I slowly reduced my dosage I slowly lost weight.

Thatā€™s really amazing and inspirational. Whenever i get close to my ideal shape i lose interest and then i have to start over after a few months. Getting the last bit there and keeping it up is the hard part.
