How is the weight loss going......

[Logan]

Congratulations to all of you who have successfully lost weight and good luck to the one who is trying to gain!

Carole, I've been "stuck" for the last month, but thankfully haven't gained any back. I've lost 26 pounds. I have 22 to go. I'm determined and will find a way to make it happen!

I am truely amazed at what you PTers have accomplished, really makes mine look very small in comparison, but I am still over the moon with how I am doing, CONGRATULATIONS every single one of you, it is a tough time of year and it is always hard to stick with it, everyone is doing so well, those before and after pics are very noticable IMO and you look so so so good , honestly, keep at it folks, I intend to loose another eight to ten kilos and then I am done, and if it takes me a whole year so be it, I will be comfortable with that.

Wow, you've lost alot of weight Buckner!(looks good)
I think that everyone is doing such a great job at changing lifestlyes for the better; eating healthy, excersing, and keeping the weight off....for good.

Even if it takes awhile it's still worth the effort!
Everyones body is different in some way.

Keep up with all the good work.

No results here.... . God knows I have tried, but it didn't work at all. All I lost is some 500 g, but it came back already .
This happening because the meds I take are known to add on weight; so a diet results in a break even... . Sometimes it is so hard to hang in there, because I never see any possible results on my scale...

I had the same prob..my medications lowered my mebtablo(bla SP) I had my
doctor change it and that helped some, but i still have a hard time losing weight..I just keep on keeping on..My daughter In Ok , her medication causes her to gain really bad..they can only keep her on it for short peroids of time and the change back n forth to help keep it not so high..its a sad thing..I hope your able to get some loss to help encourage you , its very hard I know..

Medications really do interfer with your metabolism and make weight issues that much more difficult, it all depends on the type of medication you are on, I too am on medication which does not exactly put on weight but it does make me hungry and my stomach feel like it is hungry so I know how hard it is, I found it hard enough before when i was not taking medication and was younger, the older you get, the harder it gets.

My poor mother is on Tamoxifin and also has a thyroid condition, which makes her gain weight, she is tiny really except she has gained it all around the middle, she is not a big eater, and only weighs 62 kg, which is hardly overweight, but bodywise around the middle she is uncomfortable and she just stays the same weight, she gets very down about it, but there is not much she can do, she honestly eats no more than i do on my diet.

Empathy to all who have that extra battle going on with medication, hang in there.

Congrats to everyone!

Buckner, your pictures are really inspiring. I have never had a problem with weight, but in the last 2 years I put a lot on. I need to lose so and reading all this is so inspiring!
