Since May 2005 I have gained a whopping 60lbs. It is due to medication I am taking for migraines. Can't stop taking the medicine now, but I have to lose some of the weight. I need suggestions and encouragement. It sucks when the side effect of a medication is that it causes you to desire sweets.

Please help. I am going to do my best to beat this. It just gets depressing sometimes. Thanks!!

Joy

This isn't exactly earth shattering information but just remember that you can pretty much eat all of the vegtables that you want and you'll still lose weight as long as you don't eat too many other things. It's easier for me to lose weight than gain weight because of IBS. Any type of light aerobic exersize should help as well. Good luck!

Just a thought - I was having bad Migraines too when it was suggested that I cut out wheat. Since October I've just had one relatively mild one whereas I was having a bad one ever 3 weeks before that. I think eating wheat also triggers my IBS too so I thought may be it would help you too.
