I stopped exercising three months ago and just took it up this week again, boy my body is hurting! I´ve put on a few pounds as well but it seems like I didn't lose a lot of muscle so my metabolism should be able to burn off that fat in short order. My short term goal is to be back in shape by March 1 but I'm lucky that I can exercise almost everyday now. I run (boring) but the weather is better now (not so searing hot) so I got some riding in as well, hooray! Anyways, sometimes you can not exercise and just maintain your shape IF you eat right, I had to go and see a nutritionist in order to learn that. That's something I really recommend, I always thought that you had to starve in order to lose weight and just thinking about it made me cranky. Well, he basically told me to never get hungry, I used to eat two to three meals a day, and he set me up with a five meal plan, and as long as I exercised daily he put me on a high carb diet, I ate a lot of pasta and other stuff those weeks, it was so easy. Then I had some weeks with less carbs when I wasn't exercising but it wasn't hard at all, I got plenty of proteins and it's funny how you need less carbs when you're not burning a lot of them. I'm sorry for being longwinded, in conclusion, see a nutritionist, I think you need a low-carb diet until you have more free time. Good luck, great thread. [/QUOTE]
