Hi Lisa!
Welcome to the forum! I'm new, too and I must say, I totally understand where you're coming from. I gained most of my weight due to depression, and that can really sneak up on you. I hope that you get all of the support that you need while you're here and I look forward to seeing some more posts from you in the future!
Best Wishes! <3

I started taking abilify to curb my mania about 7 mos. ago. This is about the time when I felt better mentally but physically stopped working out and had a huge appetite. I was working out 4 days a week and now down to zero.
