What I meant was.. one bear "extra" from 1200/cal. Oops! LOL
I used myplate. It did not track how often I ate, but has reminders to log breakfast, lunch, dinner, and water.
Seriously, SERIOUSLY monitor your caloric intake, and safely reduce it as much as possible. I lost about 70lbs on some heavy psych meds, a number of years ago. It is 100% possible, and don't believe the myth that psych meds will keep you fat forever. There is obviously some initial gain for many of us, but it can't continue if you don't LET it. The MyPlate app I use is very versatile, and will even calculate safe calorie restrictions for you. Don't forget to cover the emotional bases too - it's super common to gain weight during recovery because of a variety of factors (I'm eating more because I'm experiencing more sensation from it, or I have my apatite back, or I'm social again and friends encourage me to eat/drink/be merry, etc). Are you within the normal BMI guidelines for your height? Is it possible you're perfectly healthy, but you only have a sense of identity with yourself at a lower weight? Talking to your counselor about this stuff can be super helpful, too.
I'm not mtf but if you're not on HRT yet then avoid arm and upper body workouts (at least with weights)! It might end up making your body look more masculine and broad! I recommend things like squats, calisthenics, and cardio! Cardio does A LOT along with dieting! But the most important thing when it comes to losing weight isn't working out but dieting! Install a diet app like MyPlate (play store link)(apple link), an app to help keep track of all the cal really helps! If you want a specific workout routine then Chloe Ting's Hourglass Workout, try working out 3 days a week and spread the workouts between all those days! I hope this helps!
