I finally started to lose a bit of weight not much 7 lbs. But because of my flare up with my fibromyalgia the doctor has started me on a new med for the pain. Gained back my 7 and 3 more. 10 lbs all together. UUUUUGGGGGG! She wants me to stay on them for another month to see if the weight gain slows down or stops. It is a common side effect. How discouraging is that. Haven't filled in my meals since that doctor visit. No motivation at all. Been reading the message boards and very happy for those losing weight but..........well you know.:cry:

    Use it as motivation to work even harder. If you can overcome this
    obsticle, just imagine what you can do with your body once you don't
    have an obsticle anymore (lets hope that day comes soon!).

    Aaaww it's okay Cloe! Don't worry, everything will be okay. Just stick to the dieting and see where you go from there. I have faith in you:wink:

    Cloe:
    First off, try to relax. No need to get more stressed. Take care of your body and honor it. Try to stay disciplined in what you eat. It will be okay. You can only do so much and only juggle so many things at one time. First things first. Be good to you, try not to let it get you down. You have enough going on already - no need to fight yourself.

    Big hugs to you!!! Julie:flowerforyou:

    Hang in there Cloe!

    I know how you are feeling. I just found out yesterday that I have very high cholesterol! Now I am not only trying to lose weight, but also lower my LDL. Bye bye eggs, cheese, coffee. Even chicken and carrots have more cholesterol than I would have thought! Who knows maybe it will be good for me, but right now you and I both are struggling.

    I think we can do it though, don't you?

    You can do this dont let anything get in the way of what you really want because if you really want something I belive you can get it no matter if it takes day weeks or what ever. Just Belive in yourself:flowerforyou:
