I wish. I need to gain lot....seldom hungry and food appeals very little to me.

I need to lose also. Have been losing about 1-2 pounds (.07-.14 stones) a month for the past 1 ½ years. Need to lose about 15-20 pounds (1.07=1.42 stones) more.

I exercise regularly and try to eat healthy…the holidays did me in.

For several years I have gone from eating, to not being able to eat, back to eating, back to not being able to eat… Currently I am stuck in the eating mode :(

I have this problem, even though I take Mirapex which is supposed to cause weight gain. When I was first diagnosed with early-onset PD in Feb 2011 at age 46, I weighed 198 pounds (just over 14 stone) and overweight for my height. Now I weigh 7 stone and I am still losing. Even when I feel like I am hungry, nothing appeals to me or everything makes me feel sick to my stomach after a few bites.

I have just the opposite problem. While I lost weight in the early stages, I have gained about 25 pounds since,

I have gained weight too, and am struggling to lose it. My doctor said it was due to the meds, but I can't keep gaining like this!
