Frustration-Lack of Weight Loss

I finally got off lithium almost 2 months ago and am now on Lamictal (100 mg), I am also off of Serequel and only taking 10mg of Lexapro.  I'm working on changing my diet, adding more exercise and trying to reduce stress as much as I can.  I have a pretty physical job, I walk around a manufacturing plant at least once a day.  I try to walk my dog or cross-train on my treadmill for at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week and I try not to eat at night.

Is it possible that the Lamictal is causing the same side effects as the Lithium?  Am I not working hard enough?  I just really started watching my diet and exercise within this last month, as many of you know I was unemployed for 5 months, living in a very stressful household and I just made a huge move-is it just the stress mixed with the poor diet and lack of activity for so long?

Is there anything I can do to jump start my metabolism?  I am so frustrated!

1. First take Shannon up on the offer, email her, but you have to jump start that metabolism and remember it's only been a month. It's a lifestyle maintenance.I eat about 6 times a day because I am diabetic, but they are small meals. Sometimes I am like OMG do I got to eat again. But you could do that to, you don't have to be diabetic. Good luck! Shannon gave me some pointers, I slack every once in awhile. Hey I am only human!!!!
