I'm in the same boat, darlin. Used to weigh 158 lbs and hit 132 this summer. All I can suggest is forcing yourself to east (at least that's basically what my doc said!) You can also try pot. :) Make sure you get enough protein in your day. whatever you ate when negative, DOUBLE it - and make sure you're taking a multivtamin every day. Centrum Silver or One a Day for 50+ / Seniors is what I recommend.
