This makes me even more sad and keep eating I don't know what to do anymore before I never had this problem before with losing weight I just want to give up so bad .I weight 10 pounds more than I did when I was pregnant.Any suggestions?

    Are you weighing your food? Are you logging everything you consume and using correct entries (i.e. no homemade or generic)? If you are gaining you are (1) consuming more than you think, (2) could be close to TOM or (3) new activity has caused some fluid retention (DOMS).

    I am 65 and in a wheelchair w/MS. I stick to my calorie goal and don't worry about it. I lost 37 lbs. I am 5'9" and weigh 138. If I can do it, so can you.

    You just gave me so much inspiration thank you !

    If using a scale becomes too tedious just serve yourself in a saucer or teacup plate. I was counting calories and used a scale, but when I go out to eat it became impossible to carry a scale and weight the food, so I used smaller plates and so far it has worked for me. Get your carbs from natural sources only like veggies and fruits.
