Well a lot has happened since the last time I posted on here. I found out about a month and a half ago that I have Type II Diabetes. Since then it has become apparent to me that losing weight is no longer a choice if I want to live to be old and gray.

I've lost 14 pounds so far which is exciting. I did awesome out of the starting gate, perhaps motivated by fear and meds that made me very sick at my stomach. Now I've been slowing down, making poorer food choices. I'm getting refocused though. I have too!

Sparkpeople message boards have really been awesome for me. If you've never been to sparkpeople, you should. It's amazing!

Go to www.sparkpeople.com and join. It's completely free and more amazing than any other diet website out there, even the paid ones! :)

Look me up when you get there. My user name is skinny_sam.

God Bless!

Hey!  I went to your spark page and left a comment-

RYC:  I tried to get off of them due to pride.  Pride.  The only reason.  To be honest, I have attempted to deal with this many, many times.  I've tried Prozac, Lexapro, and a couple of others.  I finally decided that the weight they make you gain (and the fact that they hit the "off" switch on your libido) made me even more sad and made my husband frustrated.  So then I learned about Wellbutrin.  No side effects (nothing major- and those I had were gone in 2 weeks) and I'm happier and have a much clearer mind.  SOME people get hyper-libido with this- I was not one, but DH was praying.  :)  I shouldn't joke.  I am thrilled the good Lord gave me a husband that loves me no matter what and always makes me feel desirable.  So- in short- I would research them if i were you.  Most antidepressants work the same and have similar side effects- the main one being gaining weight.  But Wellbutrin and one other in it's family work differently.  I have also had some success with taking 5-htp and St Johns Wort.  I have read good and bad things about this combination, but it worked for me.  Feel free to do an Internet search on those 2 things and feel free to send me a Sparkmail if you'd like to talk further about it.
