My name is Bizi and I turn 44 in a few months...actually Jan 1st...my avatar is a picture of my twin sister whom I am very proud of.
I am on the left.
I have struggled off and on for years of weight gain and loss.
up 50 pounds then down then up...I hate the fact that I have so many different sizes of clothes due to the fluctuations...hate it!
Want to throw everything away and start over.
I just joined a gym and have been getting up early which is not like me...am not a morning person.
I am glad that I found you here...am looking forward to being part of a supportive network.

I am Karen. I use to post over to the other brain talk board. I am almost 30 married six years to a great guy who is also disabled.
I was born with spinal problems, have scolosis that went untreated, DDD, SI joint sysfunction, hypothyrodism, PCOS and high blood pressure.
I have been overweight all my life. No kids, very much would love to be a mom but don't think that is God's plan. I have been a foster mom and have several furry kids. I also care for my mother in law who has Alzhimers.

Hi all!
I'm Bethany, I'm 21 and a college senior.

I have CRPS and take Neurontin for pain. Like many, I've gained weight from this. So far, I've lost about 10-15 pounds, but have at least 10 more to go. This is the first forum I've found where people understand how difficult it can be to lose weight when a) the meds you absolutely need make you gain weight and b) your mobility is limited.

I'm so glad to be here!

Just read what I posted and I didn't mean I started this forum...I meant I started the group of Babes on the old Braintalk forum.

uh...er....erhm...... I think I would do better on the high diving forum.
I spent more than 60 years being painfully skinny. For the past few years my neurologist threatened me with hospitalization to see if I'd go over 100 lb on hospital food instead of a diet of cigarettes, Diet Pepsi and Ding Dongs .

Well, Oct. 2005 I quit smoking and started eating. Oh, how I eat. Now what? I'm 5' 3", small bones, and over 150 lb.

Lots of problems too long, complicated and boring to go into -- count your blessing before you sleep but -- good grief. I don't know what to do and I spend 1/2 the waking hours a day cooking a complicated diet for picky picky picky husband and I would not eat a bite of it. And I HATE cooking.

Default New to this forum...

Hi, everyone!!

I'm Cherise. A little background first. I have schizoaffective disorder. I was put on Zyprexa in the latter part of 1999. In the 18 months I was on the dreadful medication, I gained, 160 lbs.!! My normal weight, (before the Zyprexa) is 115 lbs. I have since, lost 70 lbs., only to gain back about 40 lbs. since, my last hospitilization, in January/February, of this year. They had to adjust my dosage. Of course that means now I take more. And, with that adjustment, came back the 40 lbs.

I just got myself a membership to the YMCA, and, have started working out about 2 hours per day. I walk briskly on the treadmill for 30-60 mins. and, then, swim laps for about an hour a night. The exercise, has really improved how I feel overall. Better moods throughout the day, more energy, better sleeping patterns, etc. Really glad, I got the membership.

I'm trying to get my doc to add an antidepressant that has a common side effect of weight loss. I really do need the antidepressant, and, weightloss would be a welcome side effect. Not really sure, if I'm gonna do that though. The exercising alone, is improving my moods exceptionally!! Have to wait, and, see how things go for awhile. Anyway, enough rambling from me!!

Peace, and, Love,
Cgirl
