Hi Jackie,

I'm considered overweight, not obese, by BMI. I'm very frustrated because it took 6 years to get from obese after treatment at 178 pounds to barely within my proper BMI at 153 pounds last year.... six years of steady effort.... and within a single year and WHILE continuing to diet, as well as exercising consistently during about 1/2 of that year, I gained back 20 pounds.

I am delighted to hear that by diet your IBS problem has subsided. It sounds like slow progress to increase your weight, but progress all the same. Do you use exercise in any way to help with your situation?
