Guest guest Posted November 29, 1999 Report Share Posted November 29, 1999 Hi I am pretty new in the world of ACM but the one thing I have learned about is the weight issue. My weight has been from 120 all the way up to 145-150 and back down again. I have learned that a lot of it has to due with some meds that we are on. There are bunches of them out there that increase appetite and cravings for sweets. I talked to my Dr. about this cause the added weight was making some of my pain worse due to additional stress on my body and my spirit. Talk to yours about what you are taking and see if it could be stemming from that. I am also not terribly active any more and just in the last few weeks have dropped 15 lbs. by stopping some of my meds or switching to different ones. Bye doing that and making the " easy food " a little bit better for you, you should see some results. They might not be big but slowly they will come. My easy food is now things like sweet fruits, and veggies. I keep a lot of lunchmeat and cheese on hand also. And, if I am just dying for something really sweet there is this great fat free caramel dip for fruits my personal fav is apples with it. Reminds me of the good old caramel apples for the fair. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me. Loves and hugs from Texas, Lyssa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 For those who would be interested, I have started a yahoo group for those who would want to do the weight thing. You can post photo's and everything. I thought that this might be better then trying to do it through Dr. L's group. He might not like that idea. Please feel free to join or not join or give me your opinion if you would rather have that, or a web page to just keep information. I thought with the group it would give us a chance to pass along diet tips and encouragement. Where as with a web page it would be less personal. You guys let me know which you would rather have. Here is the link and I hope that it works right for everyone. The group name is: Ladies in Weighting group home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ladies-in-Weighting the email address is: Ladies-in-Weighting Like I say just let me know which you guys would rather do.
