Oh, how I've seen the effect that activity has on your weight!
I broke my foot in March for a month couldn't even walk on it. Even now it's painful to do anything more than a gentle walk. I gained 17 lbs and 5 inches on my waist. Since then I've cut back what I NORMALLY eat which is fairly small portions anyway. I've put more vegetables and less sugar in my diet and I've been popping the pain pills so that I can increase my activity level. The result - it's not coming off. Not yet anyway. My diet this week was quite restricted. For example, Breakfast: Oatmeal and Rasberry Leaf tea (no sugar added to either), Lunch: Salad - Iceburg and Romain lettuce with shredded carrots and tuna. (one tablespoon french dressing), Tea again, Supper: small steak, corn on the cob and tea again. All through the day when I was hungry I drank water or sugar free crystal light. I've changed the menu each day but it's been very similar in calories, sugar, and fats. As for activity - I played tennis two days, road bike, one day, shoveled 1/4 trailer load of dirt myself one day, and ran through puddles with my daughter for 30 minutes one day. They're not "technical" excercising but they are exercise. I also had anywhere from 2-5 kids at my house every day for at least part of the day - if they don't keep you busy nothing will.
I've never had trouble before loosing weight. Now all of a sudden I can't take off 17 lbs.
