So, please take my name off the list for now--and thank you all for your help up to this point. I wish that as each of you goes through this change in your life, that you will find success and the weight loss you desire!
nellebelles, we don' want you to leave us. This thread is about weighing in with anything you have done to get healthy. Even if you are not losing weight due to your medication, perhaps you are making other changes that you can let us know about. We need each other and encouragement, support are vital here. Your circumstances might make it hard to lose weight right now but we will support you through it. Please stay and let us know how you are doing. You are always welcome here. :-D :thumbup:
I agree! I have had systemic lupus for 14 years plus, and think this is not the time for you to opt out. We all would love to support you through the tough times. That's what friends do. Please don't opt out. We want to support you. There are so many good ideas here, too. Please don't shut us out just when you may need us most. :-(
And we can encourage you to keeping your chin up. Even if you don't loss weight you can keep a log of healthy eating and maybe NOT gain any weight. Think about it, A lot of us have medical problems so we know about others we don't we are all in this together and you are part of the WE.
