Guest guest Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Debi, I would not worry too much. Children grow at different rates. At 12 I was about 70lbs. At 25 when I had found out I was pregnant I weighed 93. Depending on hormones, age, heredity and health weight can vary tremendously.......

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Donna, Your right about the Inherited stuff. Mom was about 4ft 7 or 8. She weight about 200pds while in her child bearing years. Once in her mid 40s she lost weight and by 53 she was 80pds. is the next in line to Mom at 4ft 10 and right at 110. At 12 she weighed 79 pounds within a month she ballooned to 130 due to medication. I am next to at 5ft 2 and 110-115. The sister next to me is 5ft 6 and 180 net to her is 5ft5 210pds next to her is 5ft8 300pds then the boys come in ataring at 6 ft and 200 pds average. With her dad is 6ft4 210 pds and her brother is right at 6ft and 145pds. has always been under the 5 percentile on the growth chart. Weighing in at birth at 4 pounds.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hi Debi, My daughter josie is almost 12 and she is 67 pounds. Each child is different so don't worry. weight gain? Hello All; Haven't posted in a long while. It was a good 6 months. Now leigh is starting to flare again. Back on MTX and pred, as well as Enbrel. We went to the ped today about a sore arm. (just below the shoulder NOT a joint. ) got the sed rate back at 35 waiting to do a MRI tomorrow. Now to the question. She is 92 pounds. She was 94/93 for the past two years. Is this something to worry about. She is 12, isn't this the time for growth? Thanks and Merry Christmas Debi (leigh 12 poly) Norman, OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 In my experience, weight gain comes from carbs. Sugar, bread, grains, honey, potatoes, fruit, etc. Alobar On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 3:56 PM, Don <donjuan69uni@...> wrote: > has anyone here ever experienced weight gain with Coconut oil?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Just wondering if anyone has had problems with their weight, I was at the same weight for a long time (perfect for my height) and the last two months I have gained a lot, I am not eating anything different or more then usual, but I am gaining, not sure if it is water retention or what. I am sure if I have lymes, that probably messes up your metabolism among everything else. Curious to hear thoughts Thanks Bridget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Eighty percent of Lyme patients are overweight. Welcome to the club. For some people, antibiotic therapy can bring on weight loss. For others (me) it just makes it worse, mostly because of the strain on the liver. (I've gained eight pounds over the past year of treatment. Ugh.) Remember that factory farms give antibiotics to animals -- not just to protect them from getting sick in the filth, but also because antibiotics will fatten them up. As you surmise, messed-up metabolism has a lot to do with this, though the more sedentary lives we lead sure don't help matters.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Bridget, I've gained almost 40 pounds with lyme and coinfections - 30 of it within about 2 months when I first got infected. Then 20 more within a couple of months about 3 years ago when I got reinfected. My diet stayed about the same, but my metabolim slowed way down. My thyroid is functioning way below what it should be. As I am getting that in line, I am finally beginning to lose a pound here and there. Please let me know if you come across any good solutions.  Carol Monroe  Nature doesn't judge. It's pure love, pure being, perfectly in the moment because it's not thinking all the time. Such is the nature of enlightenment.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I eat mostly, green vegetables, no sugar, only stevia or a little agave, but I do eat pasta, potatoes, and lots of garlic, but very little bread.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Oh yeah! A 15 pound increase in 3 months with no change in diet or exercise was one of my first symptoms that sent me to the doctor. It was almost a year later I realized it was Lyme. Six months into treatment I started to drop the weight, again with no change in diet or exercise to account for it. I dropped close to 20 lbs and felt pretty good for a few months but by the end of the summer I had full blown Lyme again and have gained back 15 lbs in 2 months! I'm hitting the Lyme harder now with increased abx and the Buhner herbs so have now entered the weight loss phase again... - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I've gained about forty pounds since this all began. I wouldn't have thought it possible, as I have had weight loss surgery and can't eat enough to gain like that! I was extremely active, in the best shape of my life. I assumed at least part of it has to be because I can't exercise like I was doing, but 40 lbs in a year??? Never in my life! :-( ******* " Between stimulus and response, there is a space.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi Alobar, With my clients I find they gain weight when they are eating a high carbohydrate diet. I would cut down on the carbs and continue with the coconut oil. Coconut oil actually helps to raise the metabolism so it should help you to lose weight not gain it. Everyone’s metabolism is different and they should take their own metabolism into account. I’m not even convinced it’s the brand of oil, although I only use WFN’s centrifuged myself.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 That infuriated me about the movie, too. I think they figured (probably correctly, sadly) that people would be less sympathetic to fat Lyme victims. They'd be more likely to think we were malingering, or had somehow brought this on ourselves due to our obvious emotional or physical inferiority. It's an ugly bias, but it's a deeply American one. I once blogged on what I call " medical Calvinism. " It's a whole religious belief system. Our culture really does believe that thin = morally superior = spiritually elect. Anything health problems you have are the direct result of your own moral failure. Implicit in this is the idea that if you make frequent enough sweat offerings to the Great Treadmill God and never let Evil Fat pass your lips, you will achieve immortality. This belief is convenient, because nobody ever has to take responsibility for anyone else. Epidemic? Environmentally-caused cancer? Car accident? Your fault, and nobody else's. You should have known better. And if you're also fat -- well, that's the only explanation anybody needs for why you got into this mess. Getting people over this is, IMHO, the single biggest challenge in getting health care reform. I was kind of hoping that the swine flu thing would help us realize that we're actually all in this together -- but instead, we've got the Chamber of Commerce insisting people shouldn't have emergency sick leave to stay home with family members with the flu. Instead, they want people on the job, no matter what, even if it means dragging our family's germs into the office. You can't buy stupid in those concentrations. I was always a robustly healthy specimen, too. At 22, I was a national championship athlete at USC -- in training four hours a day. I was sturdy, densely-boned and well-muscled (about 150 pounds when I'm good shape). Now I'm leaning hard on 220 lbs, up from 210 when I started treatment. I'm exercising again, for the first time in years, but I seriously doubt this weight is going anywhere until I get off the abx, and am trained back up to the point where I can do 10+ miles of roadwork every week. During my two month-long drug holidays, I dropped 3-4 pounds over the course of the month -- which came right back when I got back on the drugs.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 You mention IV gluthathine...I have no idea what that is, but I do know that my dr. said my liver was hot to the touch. The outside of my skin on my stomach is hot to the touch. Does that mean that my liver is toxic? I have gained a lot of weight too, and I want to know how to shed these pounds!!!! a ________________________________ From: " TUESDAYMT@...

I suspect the sluggish liver was responsible for the weight gain since she barely ate anything yet gained 30 lbs. In a message dated 11/18/2009 5:04:08 A.M.

For others (me) it just makes it worse, mostly because of the strain on the liver. (I've gained eight pounds over the past year of treatment. Ugh.) Remember that factory farms give antibiotics to animals -- not just to protect them from getting sick in the filth, but also because antibiotics will fatten them up. As you surmise, messed-up metabolism has a lot to do with this, though the more sedentary lives we lead sure don't help matters.
