    43 Year old looking for some help/info

    Hello all,

    I have some questions for anyone that can help. I am not sure I am in the right place.

    I am 43 years old and in 2001 I was diagnosed as bi-polar, I was placed on several anti-depressants and gained 65 pounds in 3 months. I was put on trazodone in 2003 and over the years I gained another 20lbs or so. I seem to stay around 300lbs. Being 5'10" and at my age its getting tougher to do things. I am having back problems and I am in per-diabietus.

    I have tried different diets with exercise over the years, my wife, daughter and I have been working out every other day with free weights for a month but I haven't lost any weight.

    I am not sure what to do or where to get more information that may help me get some of this weight off.
    I am not looking for a quick fix, just something that I might see some progress.
    Thank you for any help you can give.

    Welcome aboard!

    Post this in the nutrition section w/your daily macros TDEE etc and they'll sort you out! It's a diet thing, but also I'd get a full hormone panel for males to see where your natural test levels are! Hypothyroidism will cause hypogonadism(low t)... Best of luck!
