moved cross country, gained 10 lbs, 5 in the last week. No, it isn't water weight, I have a scale which also shows water % of your body and it's actually down. Actually haven't exceeded 2000 cal/day during the 5 lb weight gain. Exercise 30 min per week on an elliptical, am no longer in good enough shape to use my nordic track. Family member in for serious surgery in the past week, as a result did child care for a couple days. Also have multiple herniated discs in my neck, and arthritic degeneration in lower spine. Food-wise, I follow a pescatarian diet (fish, but no meat or poultry), and can't eat hard food, like apples, celery, carrots, bagel chips, etc until I get the dental implants. I have to lose 33 lbs to get back to my normal, happy healthy self.
