Quick Question....

If you gain weight on meds, does it just drop off when you stop the med, or are you stuck with it?

I found my appetite drops massively, as Tim says, you still need to work at it. I don't think it will be a real struggle though.

What's your story Anne ? What med are you stopping ?

It worries you when your feet can't be seen.

You bend over, you fall over, your so obese the paramedics come in droves, a crane is ordered to take you to Hospital. But, it is decided to build the Hospital around you to cut costs... it's scary.

But, hey...





that's a weight off !

I had to work off weight gain....but now I've gained almost all of it back. I now weigh 160 lbs.....which might not seem too huge to some people, but for me it is very heavy. I'm going to start working out again..

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
