[quote=Anonymous]I have had weight problems all my life.  I was at a good and comfortable weight after my second baby was born.  When he was just over a year old I started rapidly gaining weight.  I gained nearly 70lbs in just under three months.  I had my thyroid tested and it wasn't working at all.  I started synthroid and it kick started my thyroid.  It's operating on the lower side of normal but still normal enough that they don't want to medicate me.

A couple of years later I was diagnosed with another medical issue (something that took 20 years to be diagnosed) that requires several medications and the side effects include weight gain.  I work out, watch what I eat, and have been able to maintain my weight at 235.  At my height I should weigh about 100lbs less.  Oddly enough though my other condition is made worse when I am thinner.
 
My blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar are all perfect.  My body isn't beautiful and I am aware of it.  I have accepted the fact that I have been doing all I can to stay healthy.  I am able to keep up with the kids and I am not letting my weight hold me down.  Oh, and I have problem wearing a bathing suit.  I don't care what other people say.[/quote]
