Hello.. My name is Ainsley and i'm 26 years old and from Ontario Canada and just found this site. I'm so glad I found it because ever since I started taking this medication called 'zyprexa', I gained over 80 lbs!!! I've been so depressed and unhappy with the way I look now... I"ve made it my new years resolution to lose weight and get back how I was before and this site seems like it will help a lot!

I hope I'm able to lose the weight... I know it won't be easy, especially because i'm still on the medication and I can't get off of it, but I'm determined to try and with the support from this website I think I may just be successful :)

Nice to meet everyone!
