And to add to our problems is the fact that being overweight puts a bigger strain on our bodies and makes our conditions WORSE! It really is a Catch 22 because I pretty much have to have the meds or I'd be in the corner of my room wimpering in pain.

Earlier this year both my husband and I went on Weight Watchers. It's really quite easy, (we work the "Core Plan") and the recipes are very, very tasty.

I have lost 23 lbs. which is basically the weight I gained from the meds. I'm kind of stuck right now but sticking to the plan because I like it. I am an internet Weight Watcher so I don't attend meetings, something that works out for me because I would miss meetings due to my health.

Other than finding a program that works for you, I have no other ideas. You'd think with all the money they get for research, the drug companies would figure something out .

Take care, all;
Nancy
