I'm still here. I've gained 50 pounds, and I know why. Some isn't my fault (medication) some is (just plain carb frenzies) I'm working on it. I want it to all be gone tomorrow and i feel sick inside when i think about it. but i'm still fighting the fight. my doctor changed around my medicines which helped once before so i'm hoping it will help again.
i have had critically low iron (not even allowed to drive) and ended up with a surgery for fibroids 2 weeks ago. my iron is coming up, but the time i was down with that i ate... but wasn't active. therefore weight gain.
i'm feeling better and i've been crazy busy the past few days which is a good thing. busy = not eating L

Hi Holly, it is good to see you. I am sorry that you are struggling but I can see that there is now light at the end of the tunnel for you. Please come to the neighborhood more often for support and don't forget to think about doing the 5DPT.

Holly, it's good to see you back.
It can only be a positive step that you took in coming here to post! You've reached out, and you know this Neighborhood is always here for you. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help!
Please post often. You have lots of challenges -- just as we all do -- but with some effort and determination, you can lose those regained pounds and get back your mastery over your health!

Holly welcome back. It's great to see you. I absolutely love your avatar. You are beautiful. What's done is done. You have taken the initial step to getting back on track. Now, just keep moving forward. Post often so there is external accountability. You made it the first time, you can make it again. Hugs.

Wow Holly so good to see you again! Thank you for the update! I've also got severe anemia issues, so I'm interested in anything you've got to say. Fibroids and a possible hysterectomy followed by iron infusion treatment is where I'm at. Darn FIBROIDS!!!
Anyway, good to see you again!
