I star...I had something wonderful happen last year. I started losing weight...but without really changing a lot. I believe the main difference was that, about a year earlier, my OBGYN put me on certain drugs to treat my PCOS. We'd waited to do so because these drugs also mean the end of being able to get pregnant. I believe that, after being on the drugs for a few months, my body finally became adjusted and the response we'd been waiting for began to happen.<br /><br />I Grok what you say about weight not being the indicator of 'in shape.' I've always been heavy, but at times I was also quite active in Highland Dancing and fencing. What losing the weight has done for me in these last few months is 1) feeling generally healthier, and 2) making it easier for me to get active.<br /><br />A week ago, a brand new roller-skating rink opened up less than a mile from my house. I was worried that my muscles had forgotten how, but after a few minutes I was back in the groove. By the end of the session, I was tired but I still wanted to keep going! That's the best kind of exercise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
