Hi JOYCANADA . . .
. . . you've already licked a really major foe, Chickie . . . and with a little help from all of us around here, you can beat the weight foe too.
Hope you'll come over and join us in the CRAZY CANUK'S CLUCK CLUB . . .
http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=141257 . . . and since you mentioned in your profile that you spend half your time in Florida maybe that means you are of an age where you might enjoy another one of my favourite spots; the AGE 50+ forum . . .
http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=217 . . . and one more suggestion; how about taking a look around the DIETING WITH OBSTACLES forum, too . . .
http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14 . . . I know you'll find information about weight-gain caused by various types of drugs in there.
Hope to see you soon . . .
