Just Saying Hello!

Hi everyone!

I explained my situation in more detail in my profile, but the short, short version is thus:

I had gall bladder problems three years ago and managed to lose 30 pounds suddenly because I couldn't eat and they couldn't properly diagnose me. For about a year I kept it all off and lost an additional 10 through diet and excercise! Then I started to put it on again because my excercise venues changed [bad weather, I lost my workout space in the house, etc.] and I started to stress eat and put on 15 pounds. I wasn't worried last year when I decided to train to do a marathon event which was subsequently cancelled due to Hurricane Irene. However, that worsened a skin condition I've been living with all my life and I was sent into surgery to correct it. Because of the six-month recovery that I've been enduring, I put on an additional 15 pounds and now the doctors want to put me on medication that will cause weight gain.

So here I am. I'm trying to prevent this from getting worse in addition to maybe taking removing the 30 pounds that I lost and it's been hellish. I could use all the support I can get!

Today, the end of week 2 of this I have put back on the two pounds I lost last week. Not a good day.
