I gained 15 pounds on Maintena shots. But, I was already 25 pounds overweight. Thus, I need to lose about 40 pounds. I'm on a diet and exercise plan now. It is not easy. I eat less and am trying to move more. I was eating at all-you-can- eat buffets before so I was lucky I only gained 15 pounds after being 25 pounds overweight. I am abstaining from eating too much and exercise by walking. I have to constantly watch my food intake no matter what. At least, I ate what I wanted and don't feel deprived.
