| Wow, thanks. I really appreciate all the advice I got today. Ya'll are great. The dance night at home is a great idea. It maybe even more of a work out trying to drag him up and around (he hates to dance). And as for the water, as much as I don't want to, I will try to increase how much I drink. I think I will try the increase per week though. I have heard about water helping you loss weight and about retaining more water when you don't drink enough, but I never really listened. Hearing it from someone who has experienced it actually helps. Thanks again. | |||

| Yes, exercise is something that I haven't been able to do a lot of. I walk about a mile to class and back everyday, but that is about it. I actually brought a change of clothes to work with me today so that I can go walking right when I get off. I work write out side a really nice area of town, so walking around the blocks are really pleasant. As far as beverages, I don't drink enough. There is no denying that. I do well to drink a bottle of water a day. I know it is crazy, but when I drink more than that, my stomach starts to hurt. I think it is all in my head though. Lately I have really been in to pure plain grapefruit juice and tea. But my doctor told me to lay of the grapefruit juice because of the meds. So now I don't drink much at all. I don't even drink sodas all that much, probably one every other week. | |||

Yes, actually it did. I had start going back to school, working 45 hours per week and had a brand new serious relationship beginning. It was a lot of stress and I ended up pretty depressed. Everything is the same today except that the doctor put me on Wellbutrin so I am handling it a lot better. He said that this medication is suppose to help me lose weight, but it hasn't yet. I've been on it for about 5 months now. He was also concerned about my rapid weight gain and tested me for many different problems that could cause it. I tested negative for all. I do know that when my boyfriend and I got together 2 years ago, my lifestyle did change. I used to go out 3 to 4 times a week drinking and dancing at clubs. I danced so much that I believed it kept the weight off me. My boyfriend did not like to go out at all. He never stopped me from going, but over time I just stopped. It was basically after we hooked up that I gained all the weight. We are still together, and I doesn't mind the weight, but he knows that it is the only thing that is still getting me down. Thanks for the reply, I havn't thought about some of these things before. |

| My doctor told me that also. I started counting calories about six months ago. Every now and then I lose track, or get lazy about it, but for the most part I get it done. I find that my eating habits are not that bad, and I average about 1000 calories per day. | |||
