Gee thanks a lot. I really haven't spoken to anyone going through this that doesn't have a hard time trying to keep their weight down. I don't know whether it's the drugs or simply that your metabolism slows down, either way it's depressing. I've tried all different types of HRT from the "natural" to the prescriptive. Just keep exercising and watch what you eat and don't buy fitting clothes...
