Gained 8 pounds in two weeks! WTH?

Not sure what is going on...but my weight is creeping up every few days...I am one year out and recently decreased my caloric intake. I have NEVER had this happen before. The most I have gained is 3 pounds. it would be an up and down game for about a week and then lose it. .but now up up up! How is that much weight gain possible? I haven't really been doing alot of exercise...never have. Getting so FRUSTRATED!

    I'm so glad you let us know what was going on! I have had you on my mind a lot. Pleurisy is causing the pain under your ribs. This is where the lining around your lung is irritated and rubbing together. It will improve as you get over the pneumonia most likely. I'm so glad you are on the mend!!! :D
