    wonderful work. I have never achieved that mindset. I struggle to stay under my calorie goals. I applaud you for all the great exercise. Good luck to you in achieving all your goals.

    Getting rid of most of your medications must be a real boost! Wishing you continued success!

    Congrats! I have bipolar disorder too. Do you have any advice for bipolar disorder and how to lose the weight. I gained 40lbs in the past 4 years. I was going to post about it. but for some reason i cant :(

    Sandra,
    Bipolar definitely makes it VERY hard to lose. The meds tanked my metabolism so that even when I could stay strong against the increased appetite I gained anyway. Exercise helped some, but it was a change of drugs that made the difference for me. There are some newer ones out there that are weight-neutral -- Geodon was the ticket for me. My appetite went back to normal and my metabolism picked up and suddenly the lbs started to move. I don't know your medical situation, but it might be worth a discussion with your doctor.

    Wishing you the best!

    Thanks, everyone! I'm struggling to get moving again after the holidays, and your encouragement helps a lot! I want to reach 160 before my son's wedding in August. Now if the snow will just melt so I can get back on my bike ....
