GLC, I don't know what your age is but you may be going through that crazy weight gain when you're peri-menopausal. It happened to me. I actually lost weight during Christmas on a diet and continued to eat the same way until BAM! 6 months down the line my weight skyrocketed up 15 lbs. :mad: So I know hormones, or lack thereof, can cause this misery. :rolleyes: :confused: :mad: :eek: :(

PS, it's harder than heck to get it off too.

Sundial - I don't think I'm there yet. This all started at age 38 (though I'm 41 now), so I'm pretty sure it's too early for that yet. My mom was 47 before she started, so with any luck, I've still got some time. Of course, that looming transition is another reason I feel the pressure to get this all straightened out NOW...before it gets even harder!

Possegal - thank you for keeping the chart & sorry I didn't inform that I wasn't going to keep posting. I accrued another injury along with my knee injury and could not exercise to lose weight. now it's about short flat walks & rehab/gentle pilates.

Don't worry about it! I totally understand how life can intrude on one's plans. Mine keeps doing the same. Hope you are feeling better and fast on the mend.
