Introducing myself

Hello! My name is Kathy. I like to garden, I crochet and I also enjoy reading. Back in 2001, I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis - a neuro-muscular disease that causes muscles to get weaker as they are used. It makes it more difficult to be active, thus making it harder to keep my weight down.
I have tried unsuccessfully (on my own) to lose 10lbs . I thought perhaps joining a group such as this, would help - perhaps make me a little more accountable.

    Hi Kathy - I'm Sherry. I also have MG. I was just diagnosed a couple months ago after I had gastric sleeve surgery and had problems reversing the nerve blocking agents. I'm working on losing weight also. Down 85 with 60-65 more to go and they just put me on prednisone today. I'm a little nervous but the Mestinon didnt help me. We tried that for a month first.
