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.
