70lbs down...
I thought I would finally post a success story. I am 30 years old, transman from the UK, I wasn't a big person growing up, I was very skinny until I got hit pretty badly with depression and I doubled in weight in the space of a few years.

Musicals and Theatre
What musicals and theatre do you folks like? My partner is very into musicals so we go to the theatre a fair amount. My favourites so far have been Chess, Avenue Q, Priscilla the Musical, Lion King and Phantom of the Opera. I should try and get to see some plays more.

How much sleep do you get?
I get between 8-10hrs on an average night but sometimes as much as 12hrs. I was wondering how much sleep you all get. If I don't have my amitriptyline (to help with night pain) then I'm lucky if I get between 2-4hrs.
