Thank you for being brave enough to share your REAL life instead of a curated, glossy version. So many of us struggle and it’s reaffirming to know we’re not alone. I hope you and your husband can sort out his health issues with the neurologist. It’s important to speak up. Good luck with Found. Be good to yourself. Sending you hugs from 🇨🇦
Jill, I would be very interested in your weight loss journey. I was one of your early subscribers and witnessed your success losing weight and I know you will be successful again. Hang in there…YOU GOT THIS!!!
Thank you, that's great to know! ALSO...thanks for your encouraging words! ❤😄
Prayers for you Jill. I don’t need to know what you don’t feel comfortable sharing for me to pray for you. 🙏🏻 Hope next week is a better week for you. It’s so hard when things aren’t going as well as we would like them to. Take care of yourself.
Thank you Debbie. ❤ Hope you have a great week. thank you for your kind words. 💕
@@JillLynnBeautyTherapy Jill, I’m so hoping you were able to talk to the neurologist, otherwise, you won’t get solutions. You could also do a scheduled call with the dr? Might be easier. The dr’s assistant/nurse could also help you.
Jill this vlog was so informative and insightful. I did OMAD and Keto and lost nearly 100 lbs over the course of two years. Then I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The steriods I was prescribed post chemo and radiation have wreaked havoc not only on my joints causing mobility issues but caused excessive weight gain. I've been looking at either gastric sleeve surgery or ozempic treatment. Sometimes we have to consider all the benefits of weight loss against the possible side effects of surgery or pharmaceutical treatment. I watched you steadily lose weight and I know you can do it again. I am hopeful I will find some effective assistance at 55 I want to be as healthy as possible. I don't overeat but I just feel the steriods are keeping me from losing at this point.
I appreciate your positive outlook and as a community of women we support you. Good days and bad days, we all have them; then we need to pick ourselves up and keep moving forward. I meditate and pray daily, it provides so much comfort and peace. Some days I just meditate on the saying, "This too shall pass.." Remember, "You is kind. You is smart. You is important."

Raising you up in prayer.

Eydie I need to do OMAD I think I just cannot be trusted once I start eating to stop. UGH
My dear sweet girl, I am now a a 74 year old widow, in 2005 when I was very vital 56 my husband changed due to medical complications. We had been happily married for 37 years. I quit work because he had periods of not being able to be alone. He had many years of stability but never was who he once was. He passed in 2021. I am thankful for all the years we had, and that my faith was able to keep me strong enough to enable me to care for him. I saw you for the first time today, your fall look video popped up and I need to start wearing makeup again. Then I came across this video. I will tell you Citalapram helped my anxiety and it does not make me lethargic. Hang in there I really learned it takes time for the right medication for everyone.
Prayers for all of your family. And for you in particular. You have been so strong. Thank you for sharing Jill.
Thank you Lisa...so kind of you. ❤
I just love your vlogs Jill! Prayers for everything you've been going through! We all care here! Hugs!❤❤
Thank you so much Wendy! Hugs to you! ❤️
On a side note, your home is so lovely! 😍
Take us along with you! I’m north of 55 too and I’m twinning with you on the weight thing and the husband thing ❤
Jill you are such an inspiration to us all! Please take care of yourself ❤
Jill I am so proud of you that you will be sharing your challenges with the Neurologist. That is soooo important - know we love you and are thinking of you.
Jill take me along your weight journey. I struggled for 20 years with my weight (I’m 57) and I had consultation with dietitian and cognitive behavioural psychologist then I had weight loss surgery. I lost 2 stone prior to the operation and have lost 3 stone since. I tried everything before doing this but it’s been the best thing I’ve done. I hope you get the right support.
I’m a new subscriber, and work in healthcare. I appreciate your content very much. Just wanted to say, you are not being selfish. He is the one going through it, but you are going through it with him. A lot of the aggressive behavior that comes out is not something they can control, and it’s the caregivers that suffer in silence. Do not. You need to voice what is going on, it will get worse, and it’s better to let it be known what is going on. Lots of love and prayers for your journey! ❤😊
I found that all the antidepressants work the same way and in some cases can make one apathetic this is why you become less active.
In addtion they deplete your bodys vitamins and minerials. A solution for anxiety and depression is B1 100mg along with taking walks putting your attention outward and planned stratagies for handling stressful people and situations in your life to include reorganizing your life to work for you better.

Dear Jill. I have just finished watching your vlog from here in UK. I used to work with people with Lewy Body diagnosis and I'm fully aware of some of the challenges you are facing. Yes, it's horrible for your husband but also for you, as it all seems so unfair and unexpected. I hope you are remembering to be kind to yourself. We as women are always looking to nurture others but sometimes we have to be selfish. That doesn't come easily! I am also interested in your weight loss journey as since going through the menopause, I am struggling to lose 20 lb even on very low carbs. How depressing! Take care and all the best ❤
Hope everything works out for you Jill, I'll keep you in my prayers. Hugs ❤
2nd comment- thank you for being real & not sugarcoating things in your life. It makes me feel so much more normal with the things that I’m dealing with. As far as the Cymbalta, I was on it for a couple of months & hated it. I have now been on Wellbutrin for six months & it is working amazingly. It is very subtle, but it does help with my ADHD. And I also haven’t noticed any weight game since starting it. I have had a few weeks of wanting to sleep more so I have upped my meditation game & am now meditating twice a day. Yes, sometimes meditating makes me fall asleep, but I feel that if I fall asleep, my body is obviously needing it for some reason. I no longer beat myself up for not being as productive on certain days. Anyway, I appreciate you being vulnerable and your honesty. Thank you so much.! Sending you lots of love, light & prayers. ❤️✨🙏
Thank you for sharing. ❤️
I am interested in following you along the weight lose journey. I am right there with you regarding taming the issue. Blessings
Prayers for you Jill. God is so good to help guide when things seems vague. I just have to do my part and ask for His guidance. I resisted it many times but I realized- can’t do this life without his help. I am in Renton. It would be so great to meet up and talk.
You probably get that a lot bc you’re such a great gal. Stay strong. You are amazing and such an inspiration to so many. Sending hugs💐
If we didn’t love you we wouldn’t care, but we do so here we are to listen! If it makes you feel any better Jill, I have been in your situation before not really motivated to do the things I love to do and just put things off. Depression, worrying stress can play a big role in the way we feel. I pray that things work out that is bothering you! ❤️🙏
I think I get what you’re dealing with, Jill. My 89 yr old Mom has Alzheimer’s/dementia and her personality has changed for the worse and it is very difficult to deal with. She calls every night and so this is a daily problem. I hope the neurologist can give you some support.
There is a wonderful channel called “My Charming Abode” & their second channel “Living with Dementia” (I’m pretty sure that’s the name of it). It is a channel where the husband has been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia & the wife is his main caregiver. They share their struggles with not only the progression of his disease, but how the wife feels being his main caregiver. It is a beautiful & safe channel & very honest. I really feel that you might find comfort & maybe some answers from their channel. In the meantime I will be praying for you & your husband & sending you lots of love & healing light. ❤✨🙏
I would love to follow your journey with Found. I struggle myself with cravings and weight. I take supplements that help me some but I really lack motivation. Also I'm a nurse and I can understand what your saying about your husband. Praying it gets better. Your smart to take care of your mental health. Thank you for sharing.
If your husband has given authorization for you to be informed on his health, I believe you can speak to the neurologist away from your husband's hearing. My late husband was mentally ill and verbally abusive and I spoke with his doctors confidentially. Of course I know nothing about the details of what you're dealing with but this might be an option. Blessings, dear Jill. I hope the best for you.
I appreciate this advice! Thank you so much. I will see how to approach them about it. 👌🏻
I can relate to your feelings regarding Cymbalta. Currently, I take 90mg a day and have also lost any motivation. I would like to join you on this new journey with FOUND. Also, I wish you the best when you see the neurologist for your husband. You seem to have so much on your plate that’s a lot for one person to handle. But you always try on your vlogs to smile and stay hopeful. We do all care.
Yeah, I would like to follow you along this weight loss journey might be something I might do
Sending love and prayers to you to stay strong and sweet. Good for you for getting away and giving yourself time to decompress and change your energy. I am very interested in your new journey with Found. Looking forward to seeing what happens. Lots of Love ❤️
Yes please Jill. I’d love to follow your weight loss 😊
Would love to go along on your Found journey Jill! 🥰
Caregiving is exhausting, stressful and often thankless. I am in a similar situation with my elderly Dad, and had to put him in assisted living to keep my sanity.
Hi Jill, thanks so much for sharing the lovely vlog today. I can totally relate to that sense of apathy and not wanting to do things. It's pretty overwhelming sometimes. I'm in the same boat. Luckily the dog gets me out of the house to go on walks. He's a little lifesaver. I'm sorry to hear what is happening with your husband. I send you lots of strength to deal with all of that in your life. I'm happy to go on your journey with you concerning Found, so if you wanted to share more of that, I would be interested. I'm grateful for anything you choose to share with us. It is a privilege to hear about your life and I always appreciate everything you share. ❤
You are the sweetest. ❤ Thank you for your feedback on sharing my journey with Found. So good to know. 👍🏻 Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope you have yourself a great week coming up. Sorry to hear you also are struggling, and in the same boat. We need to get the heck out of this boat! 😩😉💕
Jill I found that I lost weight when I switched to a Vegan diet. I also went to eating two meals a day. Morning and between 3 and 4 in the afternoon. Drink lots of water for sure. I feel so much better since I’ve followed that plan. I am totally against drugs and find that they only complicated my life. Have you thought about a Holistic Doctor or a Naturopath Doctor? The other thing that helped me was moving out of your area to Arizona where I have enjoyed so much sunshine! It really has helped me. I certainly hope you find a solution to your predicament. ☀️☀️🌴🌵
I’m so sorry to hear what you’re dealing with and I will include you in my prayers. Emotional stress is incredibly draining and can leave you exhausted…I, too, have those days of feeling wiped out and battling my total lack of motivation. It’s awful. I hope things begin to settle down soon for you. -Carolanne
Thank you so much. ❤ Hope all is well for you, and have a wonderful week ahead. Hugs!
Hi Jill. Please don't ever apologise to us for putting out a vlog that's a little more downbeat than usual. Nobody is perfectly happy all of the time. I can't possibly know everything you're going through, but I'm sending supportive hugs from the UK anyway. X
Very interested in your journey, Jill. I hope the homefront calms for you and things get easier to handle there.
Thank you Sue. ❤️ Me too. 😉
Jill, I've followed you since you started your wig journey 😅. But with life, I've missed several of your Vlogs. I'm not sure what is going on with your husband but I feel you arw having a hard time in your personal life. I don't know the details but I do feel your pain! I don't have the issues you are going through but I do share your lack of enthusiasm. Not really sure why I m writing to you. I don't have any wonderful words of reason. For me, my weight issues, I joined Weight Watchers. I didn't ever think I would. I didn't think I wanted to go to a group meeting. But I did and it was great. I did loose my weight 50 pounds. It took me longer than I wanted but it was progressive. The leader was great. She had a sick sense of humor, like I do. Just an idea. The thing I liked about it was their App to keep track of the food you eat. Again you meet other women like myself. I would love to go on your journey with you. FYI I'm 76 but on the younger side. LOL😂
FYI I live in Las Vegas😂 and have 7 grandchildren
Jill…You are in my thoughts and prayers. I totally agree with the comment from Jandec. And Bravo to you for speaking with a Counselor. This can only help you! God Bless you for all that you do for your Husband, but please do not neglect your own needs. Oh! Before I forget…I admire your abilities to handle technical issues with devices. That stuff goes way over my head!🫣❤
Blessings to you and everything that is ahead. Yes, I would love to go along this journey with you regarding Found. I am almost 70, still in the work world and struggle with my weight, so would be very interested in this topic. Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback! ❤ I appreciate you tuning in today, and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
Good morning sweet Jill, its Monday morning and I'm just catching this vlog. Yes, please keep us updated on your progress. Praying for you! When my mom was sick and i was her caregiver basically, she became very vocal and at times it was abusive. Her nurse explained to me that it was because i was there with her, she knew this was probably her last rodeo so to speak and it was her meds. Same with my husband when he became ill, but he was like that throughout our marriage, so i was kinda use to it from him. It's not an easy situation to be in for the caregiver or the one who is sick. I really don't know if this is what you're dealing with, but whatever it is my prayers are with you!! Stay well and safe! Hugs ♥️
Hello Jill yes to your health journey I'm in the same place as you it's horrible I was doing so well. Living with someone particularly if it's your husband with dementia a rollercoaster and it's a kind of grief for so many little things and just losing your man I know your private about things just know we understand and will support you always 💝
Hi Jill, I would be interested in seeing you weight loss journey. Tfs!
I am binge watching again ❤😊
❤️
Thank you for everything Jill
The current trendy weight-loss drugs, the ones intended to lower A1C, scare the bejesus out of me. I don't know anyone who's taken Ozempic or Wagovy that could tolerate it and one friend has had gastro surgery twice because of it. Depression is a greedy emotion and latches on to anything it can to grow. I'm so concerned for you, Jill. While my husband doesn't have as serious an issue as yours, his PTSD is a constant issue. When he's triggered, he's a different person. Also not physically abusive at all, but throws me for a real loop emotionally and AFTER the dust settles, he sometimes either doesn't believe me when I tell him what he said or just wants to ignore that anything has happened. It's exhausting. I wonder if that sounds familiar to you at all. Sending you hopes and prayers for a better week.
Prayers for you as you walk in your journey! Would ❤ to follow how you do with your program!
It sounds like you need to bring it up at the neurologist appointment, even if your husband gets angry. Maybe if he gets angry it would help the doctor see the issue. Life sure throws some crazy challenges at us. Sending a virtual hug.
My sister is going through the same thing with her husband and I have witnessed it I told her she needs to speak to the Drs about it and so should you Xxxx❤
Oh Jill I wish we could talk one on one in person. We are both going through same……stuff. I’m glad you share what you can share. I know it’s hard because people do judge and make negative comments. Hurtful. But just know I’m with you and thinking of you kindly. Please, please, please keep us on your journey. I think it’s very important to so many, you make us feel less alone. God bless you Jill, you are so dear.
Hello Beautiful Jill, I first want to start by sending prayers to you . I hope the new weight loss clinic is helpful for you. I’m sorry to hear about your husband but you definitely need to make his neurologist aware of the situation. I don’t know you personally but from outsider looking in… I feel everything you feeling is totally normal. I hope the doctor can finally find the medication for you. When you start feeling better I hope you have more coffee dates with your friend. I think you need a change of scenery more often, perhaps you could even go stay with one of daughters, just so you can recharge for a few days. You’re truly a beautiful, intelligent , and strong lady …please don’t forget that. We love you and want the best for you. 🙏🙏🙏🥰💕
Hi Jill, don't worry too much with the vibration, as for me I don't see any shaking, I am sure others see the same, looks just fine.
Yes, take us with you in this weight Journey
I used to write down my concerns and had it passed to the doc, asking them to bring up the matters. It took the pressure off of me and discussion was better. Blessings
So I don't forget, yes, I would be very interested in following your FOUND journey. It is good to know there is so much help now and it is available via the internet. I personally hate go to a doctor's office, especially with Covid still hanging around. I really like the way Big Time looks. I don't think I have one (have to check my list) but they never look as good in RW's dark colors as they do in the lighter ones. Also, I am finding that my oldest pieces (10 years), especially those from Jon Renau, are better than the newer for some reason. I loved that first outfit. That olive (?) green dress is so pretty, wow. I need a throw and go outfit so I think I will spend some time today on Amazon for one. As for these emotional challenges you are struggling with, there are some too personal to divulge to the public (even though we consider ourselves your friends). I hope you have someone close to share them with. You are so good to tolerate anything at this point, given all your are doing for others. I think I would be driven to move. But, having said that, I have a neighbor plaguing us (for the past four years) and she is a renter, I am an owner and I will be danged if I am the one to leave the property we have invested so much in for 24 years now. It has cast a periodic and relentless pall over me that I am trying to shake off, so, in some say, I think I can relate to your struggle. Share whatever you can with us -- it makes us feel we are not alone in handling the changes life throws our way, that seem harder to deal with as we are -- as you point out -- over 55 and counting! Love you, Jill. 😘
Yes I would like to know about your weight loss journey - I am struggling big time - I just can't get myself back on track at the moment!!
Please share your journey with us. I too was on keto for over 2 years until a whole bunch of stressful events caused me to fall off the wagon. I’d love to hear how this works for you! ❤️❤️
I would like to follow you on your weight loss journey. I hope you are feeling better soon.
You know I’m going to tell you a story! It’s like living with an alcoholic. One never knows when the day or week is going to happen that when he drinks he has a personality issue and often mostly doesn’t even remember .I ignored it for years because I didn’t know better and the good times were really good. It was often times abusive which can display verbal,emotional and physical but it controlled me I never knew when or how it would happen I became addicted to his behavior and trying to hide it or justify it sr get my kids and leave and go play . But really nothing worked until I had enough and knew it wasn’t going to change. I fled in the middle of the night with one suitcase and a a baby. I had already removed my 2 other children. I got help and I learned what I was dealing with and made changes in myself.. your depressed. Try metoand if and omad and you won’t believe the weight loss. Your feeling trapped and you are the only one that help yourself and don’t focus on him. Maybe he needs to go into a home ! You are suffering ! I’ve watched you and you were really getting happy it seemed with yourself ., So beautiful and I’m glad your speaking about it ! Don’t close down please
Yes. I would like to know what you learn, Jill!! I need all the help I can get. Thank you
So good to know! Thank you Denise for letting me know. ❤️
Take us along! I might try the same route.
I hope you have a good week Jill! I regained much of the weight I’d lost and now am trying again on keto. It does work for me but not easy to do long term especially around holidays. I take Lexapro…has helped me but not sure I want to stay on it forever. Be kind to yourself and hope you find some good solutions to your stressors.❤❤❤
It is a constant struggle, but worth not giving up. I wish Lexapro worked for me...It is one of the better ones to be on. Hope you also have a great week! Thanks for watching. ❤
😂becareful Metformin causes PANCREATITIS
THANKS FOR SHARING,REALLY HELPS OTHERS ,
Jill I have experienced the exact thing with the cymbalta. I went on it during my divorce and 2 yrs later and 20lbs later. I have absolutely no motivation on most days and almost feel like a pot plant just a shell. I’m breaking it in half and weaning down. I’m keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I have been thinking who did you remind me of and I figured it out. It’s Trisha Yearwood. That’s a compliment. ❤marnie
Yes Jill you can take me along with you and I listen to you because you are so real and I feel you could be one of my close friends
Yes share about Found. I’ve started Keto 3 weeks ago. 😢
Sending love and hugs Jill. ❤❤❤
It's Sunday 6/25/23. Hope to see you at some point today !❤
Yes!! It's taking a VERRRY long time to upload. Been uploading to YT since yesterday afternoon. I am uploading in 4K...which apparently my internet is having a hard time doing. haha!
jill, thank you for bringing us with you today. i love your video's , it makes me feel that i'm not alone either. i think all of us have something going on in our life, and i also know it is very hard to deal with sometimes. we just have to go out do something for our selves and get out of our shell. it breaks my heart to see you like this because you are the sweetest person. jill you are such a special person, you deal with things in such a great way. praying for you to feel better and things looking up for you . we care about you . be safe.
Jill I am worried about you. Have you had blood work? You could have low thyroid, low adrenals, starting Cushing, the list goes on. Don’t let the doctors think it is just depression. They kept on telling me it was all in my head and then I crashed. I have Addison’s disease. I wasn’t making steroids. Please see a doctor and get a checkup. We want to see you. I love the blogs you do! Take care!
Caregiver fatigue and stress is very real. Not exactly sure what the diagnosis is but being a nurse I can make assumptions. Take care of yourself as well and take time for you when you can.
I haven't watched all of your videos but, have you tried any type of Hormone Replacement Therapy? Many of your symptoms sound menopausal.
Carnivore might be worth a try. You're under a boatload of stress, and a lot of people find it calming.
I definitely have heard of it.... I will look into it deeper. ;)
If you look into it, you'll likely find it eye-opening.
Happy Sunday ❤🙏🏻
Happy Sunday Joan! ❤
Happy Sunday ! Sending hugs and prayers ❤🙏🏻
You can count on me to listen to your health journey ❤
Count me in! Love to know more about then I've heard good things. And praying for a better week for you. I myself am fighting the scale. And I do know I'm a stress eater. I'm on effexor. But I still have anxiety. Not as much.
Well, I guess I had to listen to the rest of the video because you did say that they do emphasize eating right and it’s a slow and steady process so I mean it sounds good. Just be careful.
Hey jill you have a total right to privacy. All i know is when my dad had heart failure and kidney failure (also diabetes 2) he was volatile at times.
I agree take the opportunity to talk to the neurologist.
You may want to even say can I speak to u separate from your husband. You need to put on your parachute before you can help your husband. ❤
You have a watch on! Lol😊
🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸 BLESSINGS PRAYERS AND LOTS OF LOVE SENT YOUR WAY! Yes … please take us on your journey with the weight clinic … always listening to you on your life’s journey!
No doubt about it … your under great stress … stress is our worse enemy!
🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Most doctors always prescribe depression medication - when the root of the problem is postmenopausal we lose our estrogen, progesterone & testosterone. Talk to your gyn about hrt it will change your life. I've been bin watching menopause Barbie Taylor♥️ Would like to follow along on your journey Jill 😇
Oh yes Jill we want to know how you are.
I am very interested in your weight loss journey. I amon Mounjaro but also have Diabetes type 2
♥️
Just joined Found. Put you down for influencer. Had to write your name. 😊

would love to be on your journey@
You need to talk with the neurologist and be honest about your husbands behavior..” We don’t know how strong we are until being strong is the only choice we have “ you can do it Jill.. you owe it to yourself and your husband … may God watch over you and help give you the strength/help you need ☺️🙏
Hi Jill. Lots of things to touch on, but I will try to keep it short .. You and I started Cymbalta at the same time. I increased the mg after you did , and found that 60mg appeared to be the therapeutic dose in helping my back as well as some depression .. I noticed my appetite increasing shortly after I started the medication and was wondering if you were going to have the same issue, and sure enough you did. My problem is that it is helping with my chronic back issues and the depression , so I am not in a big hurry to get off of it at this time.. I will be curious to know if and when you go off the Cymbalta , what your doctor will prescribe .. As far as your husband, my heart breaks for you .. When you originally spoke about his behavior I immediately thought of the medication that the doctor prescribed for him (Aricept) because that medication can cause aggression , agitation and irritability as a side effect along with nervousness and crying for no reason, which are other side effects I am familiar with since my mother had been taking it for a while. I know you said that this medication has worked wonders for your husband and he has become much more aware of what is going on around him and has become more self sufficient which is a good thing, but maybe being more aware of some things has caused him to act out and take out his frustrations on you..I believe you were at your thinnest and looking amazing at around this time …Who knows what he was thinking about with your weight loss journey , but I am wondering if this has anything to do with his behavior, or maybe a side effect from that medication ..I definitely think it is a good idea to speak to the doctor when you go with your husband but maybe it would be a good idea to contact the dr prior to you going and hopefully you can speak to the doctor before the two of you actually go together .. Just a thought since there will be a lot to discuss …..Please take Care of Yourself❤
Words hurt,I know
You’re so beautiful
Sounds like you are considering taking Ozempic I'm considering trying it myself.
I want to follow along with you..
Do you have an email address where I can reach you?… I just went through this and I can tell you what I do… no medication needed. I eat real food everyday and as much as I want/;need.I am 61 and for years I thought I couldn’t loose weight because of my age. I have lost 20 lbs in the last 3 months and it continues to come off.
Cymbalta known for massive weight gain huge. My heart goes outto ya. I have lost 132 pounds from April 2022. I'd lose my shit if I gained all that back. You can wein off cymbalta with your Dr's help. If it was me I would be getting of it. Mind yourself
Jill I hope you’re husband doesn’t have Dementia. It causes people to change mentally. I will pray for you.
Yes, he has LBD. He has improved remarkably on Aricept, and it took away his terrible hallucinations. Anyone who didn't know him well wouldn't think anything was wrong with him. Which is why when this happens, it is confusing. :/
I think that a balanced diet is very crucial for our health.😺Nevertheless, I would also resort to medication if it gave me more quality of life👌
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that you'll be getting better and better🤗
I would ask dr if your husbands behavior is consistant with his condition
Hi Jill, I did a similar medical weight loss program thru my insurance during the pandemic. I found out I'm insulin resistant and was put on Metformin and increased my Synthroid. I lost 30 pounds in about 6 months. I continue to take Metformin but unfortunately I gained back about half the weight this past year and recently I am really falling off the wagon big time with my eating and lack of motivation to exercise or do much of anything. I too suffer from physical pain and depression. I have taken different anti-depressants in the past for sometimes a year at a time. They have helped me for a time but all have side effects, weight gain, drowsiness, lack of feelings both bad and good etc., and personally I don't want to go that route. The thing that helped me most in the weight program was the food journaling (I used the Baritastic app) and one on one counseling with a nutritionist. It takes a lot of discipline of course and I just don't seem to have it in me right now. I'll get there one day...I always pull out of it and get back on track... over and over. Best wishes to you on this journey called life! Sherry
