O...M...G!!! The doctor wasn't kidding about the increased appetite and weight gain that comes from Risperdal. Angela has been eating like a TWO HORSES since she started the stuff.

The day before we went to Atlanta I bought her a pair of jeans that were slightly baggy on her. That was what....3 weeks ago? Yesterday she put them on and I could barely get them buttoned! So I had her stand on the scale.

She has gained NINE POUNDS!!!!

She was just slightly underweight before, but now I would say she's perfect. So the weight gain can stop now! I thought she'd be active enough to not gain so much. She's soooo hyperactive. But I guess hyperactive enough. We have been hiking on a trail near us almost every day. It's about 2 miles if we go all the way around it, but most of the time we just go half way as it's been too warm for her. That and jumping on her trampoline. But still!

Courtney did the same thing!!! In 3 weeks time she gained 9 lbs too!

I just bought here SEVERAL outfits for school during the last 4 weeks.. and you know she can not button them.. So the weekend before school start(last weekend) we had to run out and buy more clothes.

She was underweight before but now.. looks good.. family and friends wanted to know what I was doing.. I said nothing.. she gaining due to meds. I did speak with my DR.. we are going to swap to Ablifiy. IT same type just not the side effect of gaining. Also.. was told that this weight was to stay.. That ok.. she looks good.. nice to buy new clothes after 3 yrs!!!

What size did she go into now?

Courtney left a 12 to some 14 and 16.. even got some 1 juniors(capris make perfect jeans).

Angela is TINY! LOL With the weight gain, this puts her into 8's. And she's gotten taller too. She's now 50 inches. That's a 5 inch gain in height this past year!

ok our girls are just plain out growing this year!

Courtney is now 4ft 9in.. and last year she was like 4ft5in or so..

Heck.. even Dayton who also been on risperdal for yrs.. went from 42in to 46inches this past year and 42lbs to 64lbs as of yesterday! YIKES!

I will have to see if I can find last year pic to this yr..

I curious see myself now.
