Introduction Text I have multiple sclerosis, which makes it hard for me to get much exercise and harder for me to lose weight than it would otherwise be. My first husband died in 2000 and I was unable to eat much for a couple of months. I lost 50 pounds (the wrong way) but then when I was able to eat again I gained 75! I remarried in 2003 and recently divorced, which is why I switched from the photo of me with ex hubby on our wedding day to the pic of the kitten in the little box of sadness. I'm not really that sad anymore, just thought that pic was cute and appropriate. I quit smoking in December of 2006 and immediately gained 30 more pounds. I would still encourage anyone with MS to quit smoking because smoking has been found to be strongly linked to MS progression. I would encourage anyone to quit smoking just because it's really bad for you, but especially MS patients who want to keep from needing to be in a wheelchair.

I want to lose 70 or 80 pounds. I think that this will help me in a lot of health related areas, including helping me to sleep better and taking some pressure off of my messed up knees. I'm also hoping that it will help improve my MS situation.



I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. People can write to me at vftamayo@yahoo.com
