I was told about 3 yrs ago i had Graves Disease and had gained about 50-60lbs instantly it took 2 1/2yrs to get my meds leveled out in the mean time im gaining and gaining getting bigger and bigger I didnt get that big having my kid I was wearing a size 18 never being that big. My abs were buried under 6 inches of fat. So we my husband and I decided to go to Mexico to get a tummy tuck and some lipo the doctor wasnt sure he wanted to do it , I smoked, very over weight we went through with it anyway and I did very well it will be a yr ago June 18 2008 once I was able to workout I got a gym membership I quit smoking October 14 and started eating better, I didnt drop weight at the scale but I was less fat and more solid my middle area wasnt really much better but looked alittle better. I stopped going to the gym for awhile the gas was breaking us its 25 miles one way but I started to notice I was dropping pounds once I stopped working out it was showing everyday. so I didnt jump up to go back thinking the weights didnt do anything but keep me pumped up I dont own a scale but I went down 2 pant sizes. But I went to my doctor for my graves disease which seen me right after I got back from mexico so I was weighted then he weighed me again in march 2008 even though wearing smaller jeans the scale said i gained over 20lbs but I was smaller, so im 248 now im not sure I need alot of guildence I still have my gym membership but we decided to by a Bowflex Revolution we should have it by last week of April 08, so im going to try workingout again but with your help this time, with graves you crave carbs alot :angry: so I take chromuim 1200 a day, multi-minerals, B-150, I believe I need advice so Im glad I found you Im looking forward to all of your words of advice.
