POLL -- Which Came First?
Re: POLL -- Which Came First?
I've actually gained 10 pounds since starting therapy, but everyone says I look thinner. I think my physical strength is increasing, so maybe its muscle. I was really getting wimpy last fall and now it seems to be coming back. Maybe weight loss is going to finally start this summer. Also, I wonder if it correlates with sleep. The first 4 months my average was a bit under 4.5 hours a night. This last month I am averaging 6.5 and feeling quite a bit better. If I can add another hour on to that I will be doing great!

I'm 6' 4" and was about 230 lbs when I was diagnosed with OSA. 3+ years later and I am at 275 lbs.
I don't put much stock in there being a correlation in my xPAP treatment and my weight gain, though, as there have been other significant changes in my life that would likely have had as much if not more to do with my weight than anything else.
