[quote=Anonymous]I really don't believe there's a trick.

You cut calories until you start losing. It will come off--maybe you've simply forgotten what your baseline calorie needs are, and maybe you also need to be exercising to increase your muscle mass.

This actually happened to me, so I speak from experience. Because I had read so much about weight not coming off while on (or after stopping) SSRIs, I believed it was "stuck" on (somehow) and all hope was lost.

But, alas, I ended up losing weight very easily once I went down to 1500 calories a day and was consistently very careful about what I was eating. Once I did that, I went from 145 to 115 in a matter of months. I actually didn't even mean to lose that much, or that much so quickly--at that point I had to increase the calories to put weight back on. It can be hard to find that sweet spot if you don't know what it is.

But I learned a lesson: it is calories in, calories out. Not magic. I do think SSRIs can mess with feelings of satiety, and that just eating a little more than you need each day = weight gain. [/quote]
