Welcome back! Are you off the steroids?

Stay away from carbs and spiders. :)

[ian559]

yes I am off the steriods. But I am back up to 380 lbs. This stinks. I was in a 52 inch waist and now I am back into a 58. So sad

Hi Ian,

Welcome to the forum. I'm sure you can do it. What sort of spider was it that bit you? It sounds a mean sucka!

[ian559]

I was bit by a brown recluse spider. It was on the 18th lap of the brickyard 500 last year. I was alone with my then 9 year old son. I went into shock almost right away. I was alergic to the venom. I ended up in the infield trauma center for the rest of the race. Not fun to say the least. After a few weeks I kept getting sick. A blood test found that the venom had caused my body to begin to eat my muscles. Then it was into steroid hell. Those things made me so hungry. I was eating and eating and eating. I gained all my weight back plus 5 lbs.

Ian,
Welcome back to the best WOE! You can do it.

I'm glad you made it thru the spider episode.

You lost 70 lbs last year so you KNOW this works for you. Congrats on starting back on the plan!

Yes it works but its been real hard this time to stay on it. I am doing it but its been tough.
