when cause of meds weight won't budge?a low sugar hi pro diet or next to nothing calories?
i'm horrified that someone said to me today"i know how thin you were so you must be devastastated at the weight you are".............this is a very heavy woman who would never say anything to intentionally hurt.but i don't want to look & feel like this anymore.anyway...the 1200 cals just isn't working it's been many many many many months.at this point i'm afraid to get on a scale at last look i had gained.so i'm going to try sugarfree low carb.what do you think?

I am sorry that was said to you, I am sure she didn't mean to hurt you. I have gained alot but mine is both meds and I had weight loss surgery and was so sick had to have it fixed. Needless to say I am gaining back. Hang in there.

When I stuck to a low carb diet, I lost a lot of weight, but then again, I had recently been switched to weight-neutral meds, too.

Express!

don't try starving yourself, it won't work and won't make you feel good.

caffeine, especially coffee, makes me so darn shaky!
