Question by MJ: HRT - Weight gain- 10 years - 50 #'s?
I'm tired of this. My diet has improved over the last year or so and my excerise is limited due to lower back problems and a shoulder problem... What am i to do? Does Yoga really work to lose weight?
I can't even look at myself in the mirror. I'm 5 foot and 150 #'s... a few more and I'll be considered Obese. My husband doesn't seem to mind since EVERYTHING got bigger. (got to love him for that) :~)
Thanks for you input. I have an appt with my Dr on Oct19. I had planned on speaking to him Again about this. In June he said that My Weight was in the normal range and I was perfectly fine at this weight. If he says that again I will have to find another Dr. As for the HRT it's self.... If I miss one day.... by the next day I am way beyond PMS... and the first thing hubby says is Did you forget your meds. He is right every time it has happened. He says I'm like Jeckle & Hyde. So stopping is out of the question. I can't live as Hyde. I'd kill myself if he didn't first (joking about dying) but I would be more miserable then what the weight is doing to me. So I NEED an alternative.
I am taking HRT because I had a hysterectomy when I was only 27… so I figure I should need them until I'm at least 45. I went on them right out of surgery to avoid the menopause stuff and Also because of my age…. My body still needs the estrogen. The dose was reduced by half 2 ½ years ago. So it's only .625
Best answer:
Honey, don't kid yourself. You are already obese: http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm
Glad your husband stills finds you attractive, but how does he feel about your health? Wouldn't you like to be around for a few more decades? You won't if you don't get the weight off. Talk to your doctor about what exercises you can do (like swimming, water aerobics, etc.)

Yoga Helps Fight Multiple Sclerosis
Article by AMS Vans
Research has been on-going the past decade or so studying the benefits of yoga as treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS). While yoga is no cure all for MS, it has shown to increase the quality of life for someone with MS significantly. Many studies have found yoga can decrease fatigue, a symptom of MS, tremendously.
A study conducted by Oregon Health and Sciences University in 2003, took 69 MS patients and for six months monitored as some participated in yoga, some in other exercise classes, and some in no exercise at all. At the end of the six months, the results showed significant improvement for fatigue in those who practiced yoga or some form of exercise as opposed to those who did nothing. Of the participants who did yoga, 60 % of them found it to be beneficial. (1)
Yoga targets improving flexibility, stamina, strength, and balance. It has also shown to reduce stress and anxiety. All of which are great benefits to someone living with MS. Yoga is also more than physical activity, but a lifestyle which was designed to train your mind, body, breath, and help you connect with your spirituality. Yoga is not only able to provide the physical strength, but mental strength as well in living and dealing with MS.
Yoga can provide so many life benefits to those with MS. So much so, years ago Eric Small, whom was diagnosed with MS at 22, developed a yoga niche called therapeutic yoga specifically to help those with MS or other illnesses and/or diseases. That was over 50 years ago Small was diagnosed, and today in his 70's credits yoga for his great health and physical abilities.
While exercise in general is needed for managing MS, yoga is good because it helps those whom MS has progressed passed the point to where they are able to participate in other exercises and can be adapted to that individuals ability. Many of the stances and/or poses such as the Mountain or Warrior can be done with the help of a wall. The Tree and Eagle can be done with the help of a chair. Blocks and other assistive devices can be used to hold a yoga pose as well. Even those wheelchairbound can practice yoga while having an instructor hold their legs and holding the poses for them.
Giving yoga a try could be just what someone with MS needs. Any person with MS trying yoga should ensure that the yoga instructor is certified in the therapeutic use of yoga. Namaste.
