To me, hope is more about something you can do with your own power. Don’t waste it on something you cannot do anything about.

For me, my weight is limited by my medication, I have already ate healthily and taking a balanced lifestyle. Even my nutritionist says he hasn’t seen anyone lost all the weight they gained yet

I lost all my excess weight, but the gain wasn’t due to meds.

What med are you on to lose all your weight? Geodon?

There are meds that don’t really increase prolactin.

Ziprexa. A lot of people have gained on it. But I was and am in a good home and I exercised. Weight just came off without an issue.

So how much did you gain and how much did you lose?

About 55 pounds. I had weighed 163 lbs when I moved into this home 18 years ago. I’ve weighed 106 lbs for years, now. My weight is stable for the first time in my adult life.
