Hi Shar, I am right on the same page with you at 195 pounds. I can't wait to see the end of the 190's and move into the 180's. Susan

Well she is out of Icu and in the nuero unit now. She has severe rt side weakness and have no idea if she will walk again or use her hand again. Only time will tell us. She is like 9 year old not a 19 year old. Again they are not giving us much hope for even a partial recovery. Just said anyomne guest and shrugs their shoulders She is recovering nicely from open heart sugery. I am scared and not sure how strong I am adapting to a autistic handicap 19 year old who is impulsive and wants to jump out of bed.. .. more to follow Lisa

same old same old highest 364 Dos 349 today 228 136 gone away! going this week to look for a plastic surgeon for my thigh lift I will feel better if I get that done here soon.

Good Morning Everyone, Well I managed to lose the couple of pounds that I gained while on vacation. So I am back to where I have been for the last few months. Highest: 347 Today: 165 182lbs gone, gone, gone, goodbye forever!!

I had the same problem this week. We had a lot of problems with smoke and I could not get outside because of air quality. My activities not only give me exercise and tone but are my therapy. I am never gonna be a gym person. I want to walk around or ride around and look at stuff, houses, flowers, other people, etc. It brings me peace. FInd something you love to do. After work and dinner, it is very hard to get up and head outside but once I am out the door it gets easier and I feel better. I also got your questions for the other post. I highly recommend going to B-complex with B12. All the B's are important for energy and nerve function. Your anit-depressants might need adjustment. Those are not set in stone or one size fits all. You and your Dr will need to keep working on them until you get the right levels for you. As to sleep, my surgeon told me we might need less sleep after surgery, maybe only 6-7 hrs. My problem was I was only getting 2-3 so now I take lunesta and it helps alot. I think we fight boredom, depression, stress and Lisa is right, we got to find new ways of dealing. It is not easy but I know that riding does it for me. I hope you find something you love that can feel that void. Best of luck!
