  • I just started antidepressants about 6 weeks ago, and though I have known for a long time that I needed to lose weight, it took a stomach bug to kick start my weight loss and the antidepressants to kick in for me to actually care enough again to keep it going.

  • Eight count body builders in boot camp and here and there throughout my navy career. I'm sure those have something to do with my having to have both knees cleaned out. One in my mid twenties, the other not even a year ago. Some military work outs do more harm than good.
