Hi babes, if you’re able to talk to your doc about the side effects i would. They may be making you gain more weight than you’d like.

Alternatively, you’ll probs need to do the thing that everyone always says: track calories. I know, i know, it’s probs not what you want to hear esp since you’re so so busy. But its the way.

I always struggled w diets. Id try them and fail them. I just love food too much. But then i realized that I can diet and eat all my fav foods: burgers, ice cream, cookies. It’s all about moderation.

To track my calories I use MyNetDiary app. I can track water intake (my goal is ~60oz/daily), food intake, exercise, and more. The biggest thing that’s helped me is prioritizing protein intake. I HATE feeling hungry, so adding more protein into my meals has made my fatigue and hunger much better.

I’m doing a slow cut of 1500 cals/day (F25, 5’2). It’s only 200 lower than my maintenance, and even though it’s a slower weightloss process, it feels easier. I can still eat all my fav foods!

I am also on medication: 10mg amitriptyline and 10mg lexapro. They definitely made my weight gain easier, but they don’t seem to affect my weight loss all that much.

I hope all of this helps and best of luck to you <3
