Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I too am overweight and have had CP since 1986 (officially, but since I have it due to a birth defect, I've been fighting it off all my life. I was just unaware of it). So, at least I know I'm not alone in being overweight with this disease. I know some of my weight is due to hypothyroidism, but I'm now on medicine for it so I'm at least not gaining any more. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I also have hypothyroidism, but my meds make me hyPERthyroid, so I should be losing like crazy, but alas...thats not the case. I excersize and I can get to a point, but my body says STOP!! You're not losing another pound or inch. Guess my body knows whats best for me and I just need to learn to accept my body.
