LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Mary,
I have to agree with Dan! I was previously in a special library and moved
to a school library. I started to suddenly lose the weight that no diet in
the world would help! After nearing 60 pounds, my doctor started having a
bird and insisted on cancer tests and what not! I lost over 70 pounds in
less than 2 years. When I documented what I ate and that I was rarely ever
at a desk for long periods of time, helping students and teachers, and end
up running from one end of the school building to another to troubleshoot
computer problems, it was our conclusion that it was the job.
I managed to keep up losing the weight until I left my school position at
the beginning of summer and was put on some medication about a month ago
that didn't agree with me. I started blowing up. Its 15 pounds (what I had
lost last school year) - hopefully it will come off fast now that I am no
longer taking the meds. Otherwise, I need to find a position that is as
active as working in a school!

PS: Of course, the doctor would like to see me another 35 pounds
lighter...and lower my blood pressure!... :o)
