I find it's much more difficult to try to lose weight with exercise alone. In fact, for me, it's been impossible lol. The more I exercise, the more I eat. I don't have set meal times. I usually just eat whenever I want to and exercising always makes me eat more.
It's a good idea to exercise for health, but for me, it doesn't work well for losing weight. I actually always end up gaining weight when I exercise and it's not all muscle.
I lose weight very quickly when I'm counting calories but that's also been a bad idea for me because I can't maintain it.
I don't think psych meds affected my weight much when I was on them.
I've gained weight over the years, but now I'm off all meds and I'm still the same. I think it was just my eating habits that made me gain weight.
