I hate this! I was sick for 2 weeks almost and I ended up eating more than I should be. Now I'm 5lbs heavier again!

    Hi Binky, don't give up! It happened me a few weeks ago too and it fell right back off when I got back on track once feeling better. Give your body time to heal and don't push yourself too hard. You WILL lose it again :)

    Don't worry, girl! 5 lbs is better than 10 or 20 or worse! :happy: Keep your chin up and just get back on, eat healthy and work out and you'll have it lost in no time.

    I know exactly how you feel. I am so bummed. I had knee surgery 4 weeks ago and have not been able to do much exercising. I went from working out in some form 5 to six days a week, to doing some light rehab and have gained 5 pounds in 4 weeks. I'm so bummed about it. I know to some 5 pounds doesn't seem like much, but I'm beginning to feel it in my stomach and clothes. I'm sttarting to feel like an overgrown blimp. Hopefully I will be able to do some 30 minute walks this week and get back on track. I hope you feel better and can get back on track again soon.

    Thank you for your support guys. I was lost for a little, and avoided MFP all together. I didn't log my food entry journal, but 2 weeks ago I started motivating myself to get back on track. Now, I've managed to loose the 5 lbs, and also loose a few more. Thank you for all your wonderful kind and supportive words.
