i just thought i would say hi. i am definitely one for whom a lot of meds has hindered my weight loss. i have ms and am on a lot of meds. for the symptoms, as well as betaseron injections every other night as ms treatment. i had been on ww and did that faithfully, but still hardly lost much weight, plus it was very slow. i had never had this kind of trouble losing weight before in my life and was so frustrated. i thought i must be the only person in the world on ww who wasn't losing much weight. now, i am doing it the old-fashioned way by counting cals., and eating a well-balanced diet with lots of fruits and veggies, plus still drinking my water regularly and i am doing much better. i have continued to do the same exercising i was previously also. now, i am finally losing weight more consistently- very slowly, but at least losing, and i am glad about that. i had to experiment with number of cals/day until i could come up with the right combination/amt. for me but it was worth it! i also am losing slower than i ever had previously (and i always have been a slow loser in the past- though not like it was while i was still on ww) because i am not able to do the same type/amt. of exercising i could in the past. (now i use a wheelchair at times, while others i am able to use a cane or walker-due to ms.) i also got tips from my physical therapist on what exercises i can do and have been sticking to that regimen, which i believe is also helping now too. i was beginning to think my body would never cooperate and until i finally talked with my doctor, i had been feeling very discouraged about all my hard efforts. now i realize that my body will just lose slowly, but will at least lose weight as long as i stick to the changes i have now made in my diet and exercise plans. all the trial and error was rough, but it is finally paying off now. i hope things are going well for you, notlookingback. well, take care. all the best.
