Yes, I’m working on losing weight, about 40 lbs. I really hope it helps me get off it.
I use one. The only way to get rid of it is to loose weight. I am working on that right now. I got used to mine very fast and sleep much better now. I prefer the CPAP to being a zombie from lack of sleep.

Nope. Sometimes, but not always.
I am a *bit* overweight (as in 15 pounds), but that is not the problem. The problem is that the throat muscles seem to relax a bit too much thus cutting off the ability to breathe. It is relatively common.
As far as using a CPAP, I highly recommend getting one with a humidifier and DO NOT GIVE UP ON IT. You will get used to it and it makes a world of difference.
I have known many thin people with apnea.
Any hints?

That helps in many causes, but certainly not all cases.
My skinny hubby has sleep apnea, and a history of outrageous snoring since he was a kid. They don’t always go hand in hand.
