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. bizi

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.

 Hi everyone, I'm Beth. I'm expanding my horizons beyond just the MS forum, which I love. I was dx'd 10 years ago. Most of my stuff is sensory (read invisible) pain is constant in my hands especially. No relief at all.My story, lets see, I moved here 2-1/2 years ago from Ohio. I am contemplating going back home. When I moved out here I was 140 lbs. Thinnest in years, I was half way doing South Beach at my sisters where I was living. I found that quite successful, limiting carbs. Out here they have krispy kreme donuts, hot. Wow, I really indulged, and being 40, I think my age caught up with me. I was homesick, left all my family and an excellent p/t job. On Aug 1st at new neuros office I stepped on the scale and weighed in a heart dropping, 198 lbs.  Back in '06 I had a bad flareup or 4, and did steroids each time, which only increased my weight. I was put on Lyrica, last year, way upped dose this past spring, which I stopped 2 weeks ago, because many said it causes weight gain. I am tending to agree with that assessment. Before I stopped, I was nibbling constantly and now I have to remind myself to eat. This summer, I cut almost 8inches of my hair. In July, I joined a walking group on-line. Bought a pedometer and am tracking my inactive lifestyle. My big activity was to walk to the mailbox at the front of the complex. And I am waiting for my wrist weights to be delivered so I can start my 8 minutes in the morning workout. I am living with my soon to be ex-SO. Shh, he doesn't know yet. I have so much going through my head that focusing on getting my body back seems like the easiest to tackle today. I'm hoping to get to know everyone and I am a good source of encouragment.
