I love DS and am amazed at all the kind supportive people that can help you handle whatever life throws at you!

I am 25 years old. I was thin as a child and through high school. I started the Depo shot when I was 18, stopped it at 23, and gained about 10 pounds per year in that timeframe. I am now 210 pounds and started the Optifast 800 diet yesterday. I have been up and down the last day and 1/2 and would love some imput!
Treatments
- Atkins Diet Somewhat Helpful
- I didn't do it quite right! I ate under 20 carbs per day and exercised for 2 weeks. Lost 15 pounds and gained it all back!

I am 25 years old. I was thin as a child and in High School. I have gained about 10 pounds per year since High School and would love to lose 60 pounds. I met my bilogical father when I was 22 years old and learned about all the health problems in my family history! SCARY!!!!

Open Acne
I developed acne as an adult, actually when I quit smoking. I had red spots on my cheeks and tried everyting the MD could prescribe with no luck. I started using Proactive and it helps but I don't have Jessica Simpson skin haha!
Treatments

- It seemed to help but dried my skin out.
- Tetracycline Working / Worked
