Some medication is known to cause weight loss. However do not despair. You can counteract this. Try a mixture of exercise if you can. Mix cardio with weights and also mix the type of cardio you are doing. the biggest reason for people stopping an exercise regime is bordedom. they become bored with their routine. Hitting the tarmac day after day is very boring, a running machine is no better, even with CNN or something. Try the following: 10-15 minutes of cardio, either running, or rowing, or step. Then 10-15 mins of weights. Medium weights, 2-3 circuits. That's it. And do it 2 days on 1 day off. you will look great. you will see the difference after 6 weeks. If you dont have gym membership that is not a problem. Do yoga 1 hour a day, or walk (fast) one hour a day - 6 weeks later you will see the results. Even if you are on medecine. Please report back on your progress.
