I went back to my nutritionist again yesterday and I gained another 2 pounds. I am totally floored! I weigh 3 pounds more now than I did when I started seeing the nutritionist. I just don't get it. This is so frustrating. I do everything he asks me too. And I am brutally honest in journaling my food intake. I have health…

Wow!! That is so cool! Congrats!!

Thanks for the tips.You guys are all just so AWESOME!!!

You guys are all so AWESOME!!! All the suggestions are great. I see my nutritionist once a week and thats the only place I weigh in at. I don't own scales. My nutritionist is the one who recommended MFP to me and I do print out my reports weekly and take them to him. I think I gained partly because I wasn't feelling well…

You are correct about the kidney problems causing water retention. I take a water pill daily and watch my salt intake very closely. I just cant figure out what the problem is. I'm thinkin' that maybe I'm not eating at the right times (i am not a very good breakfast eater) or just not eating enough of the right foods. But…

The nutritionist I go to weekly is the one that said a minimum of 1000 calories a day. I don't retain water because I take a water pill daily. I'm with you when I was eating more calories I was actually losing more weight! It's hard for me to exercise, which makes it a little harder to lose weight. I was anorexic when I…

Thanks guys for all the help.My thyroid is fine as far as I know and I'm sure it gets checked regularly. I do have kidney problems too but don't think they affect my wieght gain/loss. But I'm not sure. I may not be eating properly. My dietician says for the next week to eat at least 1000 calories a day and he doesn't even…

I wish that was the reason. Had a hysterectomy in 2003. So I doubt that that's the problem :(

I am 5' 6" tall. Not a lot of activity. I had lung cancer and only have one lung left plus minor heart issues which keep me from getting very much exercise. I do walk at least 3000 steps per day and sometimes I walk from 5 to 15 minutes at a slow pace on the treadmill. I feel really lousy and have no energy. Any…
