  • I have had the same thing happen. When I restrict my calories too much, especially if I am exercising alot, I tend to hold on to my weight more. My body just panics and goes into survival mode. I would try playing with your calorie intake and go up to 1500 like your doctor suggested. It seems counterintuitive, but it has…

  • I am just starting to get back on track after being sick too. What I found helped was starting like I did in the beginning with small attainable goals like drinking all of the water for the day and skipping seconds at lunch & dinner. Then for exercise I started walking and doing some light calisthenics. Once I feel 100%…

  • You can try doing low impact cardio like knee raises, kicks (side, front & back), boxing moves done in a squat, and lunges if your knees can handle it. I like the Leslie Sansone walking workouts too, as they are easy on your knees but still get your heart pumping. Those are available through your cable's on demand (if you…

  • This one is worth the money - you will not regret it! Don't be discouraged if you can't get through all of it the first time...your endurance will build up.

  • I can relate - I usually have VERY intense chocolate cravings right around my TOM. I doesn't do any good to try and satisfy the craving with something else. I must have chocolate, so I do. And I make it good. But as you did, I work it into my daily calories so I don't go over. It's win-win! As long as it is only happening…

  • WOW - thank you all so much for the encouragement! :) I am not tracking my sodium intake, but I will. Can we do that here on MFP? And I have been drinking water pretty well, but slipped a bit this weekend. I'm sure between that, eating soup yesterday (sodium nightmare) & having my TOM coming, it explains the 6 lb. gain. It…
