    I hope you get well soon. It's hard not to binge eat when you're immobile.
    Thanks for the thought. Unfortunately, I’ve “been here and done this” before. This one has all the hallmarks of one that’s going to take months to fully pull out of. I spent ~8 months recliner-bound in 2013 without gaining a pound, but holding a level weight was really difficult. Oh well--very small, keto-level meals with minimal carbs, no “treats” and lots of water for the next couple/few(?) months. With luck, I may have a beer on St Patrick’s Day.

    This week's successes: Exercised every day whilst off work
    This week's challenges: Trying not to get despondent about no weight loss, despite exercising every day and food counting. Was disciplined, within calorie limit and should have lost weight. I'm physically stronger so hoping it's muscle development and just a blip. Anyone encountered and/or overcome similar?

    Yes, this is so discouraging when you work so hard and the scale does not go down. For me, this is a good time to think about non-scale successes. Like your daily exercise and feeling stronger.

    I have found that when I limit my calories too much (1200-1300) or start with strenuous exercise, the scale is much slower to move. Are you measuring as well? That may help you track non scale progress.

    As in you reckon body goes into starvation mode and stores the weight? Makes sense. Calories have been bang on my allowance so I presume it's the exercise. Back at work now so will stick to the standard 3 times a week in the gym. Was going to measure myself every 4-6 weeks, and will leave it to this weekend to check
