[QUOTE="Martie, post: 143774, member: 284"] Hi Nomad, I have never taken Topomax but I had problems with my weight fluctuating for "no reason" for years...I finally reached an age that I could not eat and not gain... I BELIEVE but cannot prove (although my overweight doctor is impressed) that only exercise will change metabolism back to what it was at a younger age.. I currently eat "normally" exercise 5 day a week and LIFT WEIGHTS which I think is critical because increased muscle mass burns calories at rest 24/7 ....which is a very good thing. I have lost about 45 lbs in two years doing this. My BMI is currently 24.9 so I could "quit" losing....I would like to lose a bit more because I am currently between sizes and if I lose a little more, it will be easier to have clothing that fits reliably. I am definitely not into "thin" because I think it is very aging when some one is as old as I am....I have found that cannot go on a daily without food...the eating like a bird thing doesn't work for me. My current strategy is to put calories in and then burn them off...I think the "eat and burn" cycle changed my metabolism back to what it once was. Why I believe this is if I do not exercise for a few days, I do not gain...however, I have never skipped exercise for more than 5 or 6 days (on vacation) to see how long it would take for my metabolism to slow down...I don't want to find out. I don't know if any of this applies to you, and I hate to sound like an exercise fanatic, but it worked for me. Perhaps it would work fo ryou with or without considering the Topomax. Best to you, Martie [/QUOTE]
