Good for her for getting herself back!
A 60 pound weight gain is shocking.
I have been 60 pounds heavier(from medications) and know what that does to your self esteem. I was 200 pounds!
Being bipolar I take several medications to stay stable. I basically did the research and told my psychiatrist what I wanted to take. Weight neutral meds.
She listened and allowed me to take them and I have been fairly stable on them for many years now.
On jan 12 2015 my weight was back up to 164. I was shocked I had let it get that high. I immediately started dieting again. I also knew that I needed to get a handle on my drinking these fattening drinks.
So between having an alcohol free period of 121 days in a row(then a lapse of 8 days of drinking) and now24 days straight of not drinking I am down to 139, I have lost 25 pounds in 5 1/2 months. I don't count calories or carbs.
I try to follow a low carb lifestyle. Try to eat as clean as possible.
My exercising has decreased due to an injury, my thigh muscle was pulled from too much jogging too fast. That was a month ago. Am afraid to try jogging again. Need to start using weights for my lower legs to build them up so I won't have another injury.
anyway.....
YOu can do psych meds and lose weight.
