WHY!!

Ok you guys, my weight loss was still coming off pretty good...and over the past 2 weeks it started really falling off again...like a pound a day. now all of a sudden it stopped and i gained a couple pounds! WHY???!!!! i haven't been able to exercise because of my leg for 3 weeks but that's when the weight started falling off. i'm still eating the same amount of food and getting in a minimum of 130 ounces of water a day. why do you think i'm gaining weight? i guess i'm going to have to get back to my more strict routine with the exercise. i just didn't want to pu**** with my leg yet. i guess i'm just going to have to do it and see what happens. what do you guys think??

IMHO - i'd take care of the leg right now. your tool will be there for you to use once your leg is ok again. just my two cents worth. i had surgery when my leg was in a cast. had to wait to do the walking, etc... because if the leg didn't heal right, the exercise wouldn't happen at all. good luck dorthe

I know you're right dorthe...my problem is that i am having the other leg done on January 11th and i'm afraid i'm going to gain more weight. i guess all i can do is see how things go. it's been killing me to just sit around without exercising for the past 3 weeks. thanks for the input and i know you are completely right! i guess i just don't want to admit it to myself that i have to be kind to the old body.

Steph, it just does that the closer we get to goal. Lately I'll go a day or two with nothing, up a lb, down one, up two, back to where I started out....it's but that's part of it IMO. Take care of your leg right now and continue to make healthy choices, my surgeon said the body can't continue to lose every day, every week, every month.....it needs a rest. Hugs, Dana
