    • About Me

      Hi, my name is Kim! When I first came to DS, I weighed 335lbs and didn't think that was EVER going to change. You couldn't have told me then that I now weigh 79lbs less and only have 60lbs to go to my goal! I'm over the hump and am SO anxious to get to the end (a little too anxious in fact!) Everyday its still a constant battle although it seems to get easier to fight. I still have to force myself to workout and not to eat that delicious chocolate cake. My philosophy has been "It doesn't matter that you fell off the wagon. What matters most, is that you get back on!"

      From Jaime1313 Yesterday

      Thanks for the journal comment. :) I'm just a little nervous that I'm not maternal/nurturing enough to work with mentally disabled adults. I'm not good with children AT ALL. I'm nervous I'll have a similar reaction to the people I'd work with and they deserve better than to have some uptight awkward person trying to make their lives easier. I'm going to give it a try but I am seriously terrified I will fall flat on my face or end up hurting one of the people I'm trying to help.

    • Close Obesity

      I've been overweight my entire life. I've tried just about everything out there... my problem is styaing motivated....

      Treatments

      Alli Working / Worked
      I took Rx Xenical, there was the occasional "leakage", but I loved it. Considering going back on it.
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Not Working
      Atkin's... AWEFUL!
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      Once I'm at the gym, I love it. It's just a matter of getting myself there that is the problem.

    • Open Arthritis

      I have Osteoarthritis in my left knee due to a hiking injury in April '08 and I'm sure being over 300lbs when the injury occurred made things even better. I had surgery (to repair, but it didn't go as planned) in Oct. '08, still haven't gotten full range of motion back yet, still have swelling and lots of pain and I'm looking for any helpful information as to how to manage this new "lovely" condition.

      Treatments

      Acupressure Considering
      I've heard some have had great results from this and I'm thinking about trying it...
      Glucosamine/Chondroitin Somewhat Helpful
      I can't really tell the difference between the days I take it and the days I forget....
      Ibuprofen Working / Worked
      This seems to work the best for me but still doesn't completely relieve my pain.
      Naproxen Not Working
      This drug offers me ABSOLUTELY no relieve!!
      Pain Management Clinic Somewhat Helpful
      When I has my surgery, my doc prescribed Vicodin. I didn't use all of it, so now I take 1/2 a dose on the days I reeeally feel bad. I don't really like the doofyness I get from a full dose, and 1/2 of one relieves my pain just as well.
      Relafen Not Working
      I don't like having to take a drug that has to constantly be in my system to work. I'm more of a 'I take medicine only as needed' kind of person.
