@craigo3154 Thanks for sharing this advice with @amynew4u and the rest of us! I've been off exercise since I got sick, and I've continued to lose. With low appetite, I've had to push myself to eat some more calorie dense items at some meals.
I have to admit, I worry a bit about what kind of weight I'm losing right now -- fat is good loss, muscle is not -- but I'm focused on getting healthy.
@LesIckaBod. Generally you need to be off exercise for quite a while greater than a month to start really losing muscle. Even then, the first thing you lose is tone before size.
If you have been in calorie deficit for a while and been more on an keto/atkins style diet (ie. low carb), the body would already be conditioned to fat burning more than protein scavenging.
Even if you do start to lose muscle tone and then size, the good news is that is it fairly quick to re-build (without adding fat).
The most important thing to do when ill is REST. Only when well should you look at trying to sculpt the body you desire (balance muscle/fat composition and build specific muscle groups).
The technical term or body sculpting is recomposition. There are a number of sections on MFP (and other forums) dedicated to this topic. You can only effectively re-comp once to get to a desired weight.2 -

Cold day after yesterdays heat. Little bit of rain around. Late walk after dinner.
Spent most of the day getting quads working for flying tomorrow. Nothing major, just correcting a few issues.3 -

Sorry for those who are ill. If I am running a fever I don’t work out ( why would I spread my gunk). Craig is sooo correct. Exercise helps maintain weight loss and for me helps my moods and helps me “move, but how we eat is the main factor in weight loss. I have lost over 50# this past 12 months and took off twice for over 12 days because my granddaughter slammed me with bronchitis or colds. I still lost weight and returned to exercise when I stooped coughing or could breathe normally again. Hang in there.3

Folks, I'm checking in from the road again tonight. Saturday weighers, please post if you haven't yet, and I'll be home tomorrow afternoon to update the spreadsheet. Have a good weekend, all!1

It's 2pm and I've just eaten all my calories! I went to the pool for two hours, just splashing about with toddlers, so I've used up some energy but not sure how much. Time for more exercise and just a salad for dinner I think2

January Week 1 Weigh-In
Previous: 162.6
Current: 161.8
Bahaha at what I wrote for last check in. Said I'd have plenty of time to workout bc the guy I'm dating would be out of town for two weeks. Well...I ended up flying up to join him for a few days and meet his parents. Also we did NYE in NYC. Shockingly, I lost weight this week.6 -
Exercise hit my target of 10,000 steps but didn’t eat great. Hopefully I will continue to feel better and get some more intense exercise in next week. I was surprised with my loss this week but being sick it was hard.2

Good day's flying. Better yet, no real damage (props don't count ).
Car battery died. Will need to get alternator replaced as it does not seem to be charging the battery. But with work starting tomorrow, finding time (and a mechanic) will be interesting.

Look at YOU GO! Way to lead! All of that consistent tracking and exercise is so evident. You inspire!5 -
Hello everyone! So since last weigh in I have an update on my weight loss so I was unsure about my last weigh in. I didn’t know that you can gain up to 5 pounds by being on your menstrual cycle. I went from 257 pounds (my starting weight) to 259 pounds! I was like “what is going on?”😂 but I am back to normal. I always use to get frustrated and quit l, but I told myself I have came to far to quit! I knew that I have been eating right, exercising and doing all of the right things. So, I kept it up. And I stepped on the scale today and BOOM 🤛💥 SUCCESS!!

Happy Sunday everyone!
I haven’t updated in a while, but I’ve kept up my exercise streak except for a much needed rest day on Friday! Yesterday I did interval sprints at the gym and today I ran for twenty minutes (gorgeous day here in MD) and did two rounds of BBG.
Lately I’ve been playing with intermittent fasting, and by that I mean I’m pushing my first meal back to ten or noon. So far it’s great for not feeling hungry, but it can be hard to workout on an empty stomach. Has anyway tried IF before? Any thoughts on it?
Thanks for the inspiration this week! My goal is to lose to pounds a week. Here’s to the next two! 😊
Ps how do we see our team standings each week or will there be an announcement?6 -
