Sorry....

I was doing so well then I just disappeared. The prednisone got the better of me then it made me manic and they had to increase my Bipolar meds... both of those cause weight gain... Then I quit smoking, another weight gainer. My weight is just ballooning out of control. I have gained 40lbs in the last 3 months. Next week I am starting Nutrisystem so as soon as I get the food I will start participating again at my new start weight. I was really enjoying the group and look forward to coming back and succeeding once again.

I hate when medicine makes you gain weight. I can't take birth control pills for lots of reasons, a primary one being that the last time I took it for 2 months I gained 20 pounds. Some of the meds I take make me have to work so much hard than somebody my size who isn't on the same meds but without them I wouldn't have any energy or motivation to do anything.

I guess everything is a trade off. We fix one thing than somehow it works against us. Some where inbetween we find a balance.

Divine, glad you are back to this great group. We are full of ideas and support.

Let us know how Nutrisystem works for you. I see it on QVC, and looks like a lot of people are happy with it.

Welcome back and my best to you......

What are you on for bipolar? I was on lamictal and now am on geodon and have found both to be weight neutral.

Medications put a lot of weight on me too so I do understand. But there is hope. At least not smoking is way healthier for you. You will lose weight in time. I did.

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...
