    So frustrated. I was once a runner, horseback rider, super nurse working 12 hours shifts with one break if lucky. Totally fit and happy. After an accident I have had a total disc replacement in my neck C56 that has left me with pain which limits my function and had an SI joint/plevis sacrum surgery in March for trauma (pelvic fracture/L5 fracture/hip fracture) and a newly diagnosed autoimmune disease. I have ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis on top of everything else. I have 3 titanium rods across/through my pelvis into my sacrum and have residual nerve damage and moderate to severe pain that severely limits my time standing, walking and sitting. It is very depressing but I do keep pushing on. I see a team of doctors who are always trying new therapies and suggesting more surgeries and procedures.
    At this point I am disabled and unable to work. My work was part of who I was. I LOVED my job and loved being an emergency department nurse. I worked very long and hard to get there only to have it ripped away by illness and injury. I am only 39 yrs old!!!! I have worked since the age of 12! I started out mucking stalls and bathing dogs haha! I have 2 kiddos and many animals to keep me focused on surviving but it has been a very rough road.
    I first lost an insane amount of weight and became too thin (a result of the autoimmune portion of my issues) then flipped and gained 40 pounds in 6 months!!!! I have lost 13 lbs so far but am stuck. I need to lose 20 more pounds to get to a healthy weight. I need to be at my ideal weight for the health of my joints.
    This has been extremely difficult for me because I can not exercise like I need to. Cardio is the hardest on my body. I try to push through but the pain is too intense and leaves me bedbound for a few days after. Even the lightest cardio. How frustrating right?!? Very hard for me since my entire life I have been very active!
    I have had many meds tried and some cause weight gain as a side effect.
    I just started....again...on neurontin for the nerve pain and have noticed I have started to go back up. 1200kcals a day max and no breads, processed foods. I have been following a whole foods type diet. Not super strict but I have avoided sugars, wheat and gluten (I am sensitive not allergic according to the bloodwork) and processed foods. Very frustrating!
    Not sure if it a side effect of the autoimmune portion or the meds or both...sigh. Miserable today which is not helping either!

    Hi! I'm not new here. I'm a vet I suppose, but I'm a vet who has regained the weight MFP helped me to lose 3 years ago.

    Deleted my old account and should have kept my awesome friends, but forgot to. Now I'm back and would love to meet some folks who are ready to support my efforts and get some support back in return.

    If this sounds like something that would work for you, add me. :)

    Hi I am from Newfoundland looking for some friends to help and support me. Friends don't have to be Newfoundlanders just need some motivation.

    I LOVE to make friends.....for a few reasons....I find it interesting that these social communities give you the opportunity to meet people form all over that you otherwise would never meet!...I think the more people you have as friends, the more motivation you can give and receive!...I also like to view other nutritional diaries and get ideas on how I can be more successful at reaching my goal. Plus, you never know if you may meet that one person who will change your life!.....

    Finding it really hard to stay motivated to workout and not just binge eat. Being really stressed out isn't helping. Could really use some friends that have the same goal as me! :)
