A friend told me about this site, she's taken off over 90# using it . . . how can I go wrong with those results!?

I am back to my heaviest weight ever! The last time I was here, was when I was 22 and working third shift doing emergency veterinary care fresh out of school. Lots of drive thru and drinking!

In 2006 I had taken off ~50# w/ WW. It didn't work for me this time.

I'm on medications to treat Chronic Migraines (since 2003) and Chronic Pain (SInce 2008) . . . I am currently working w/ my headache doctor to lower doses and possibly eliminate some meds. She feels this can be contributing to a lot of my weight issues, but NOT all!

Today is my first official day. So far, so good! Yesterday, I input everything that went in my mouth (prior to making this decision) . . . I was appalled! No wonder I'm chubby!

Here's to a good start!
:)

    Welcome to the site!!! Are you a veterinary technician or DVM? I am in school to be a veterinary technologist and it can be VERY stressful!

    I especially want to work in an emergency clinic because I love working at night! Anyway, enough about me! Good luck!!
