I wasn’t able to lose weight until I had been on the correct thyroid medications for 6+ months. If you haven’t had your thyroid levels checked I would recommend that. I have currently lost 50 pounds in a way my doctors are happy about. My joints still hurt and I still have chronic pain. (I’m still 280 so I’m not done yet) but I’ve noticed a huge difference with doing stairs, standing up from sitting on the floor and other joint strenuous tasks. If you want to talk about the specific things I’ve found work for me while avoiding reigniting my ED feel free to DM me.
