[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 181232"] Hugs...I'm sorry to hear of what you have been through healthwise. And I can understand your concern re: weight gain. It's good that you are addressing this. in my humble opinion, it is normal to go up a size after a certain age. In reality, as we age, we tend to need less calories per day. So, a size six might very well be fine...but I can understand that you don't want a pattern to develop and you want to put a stop to it. I have found that just increasing my exercise by 5 mins a day and adding interval training to some of my workouts was helpful. I don't like to push myself too hard, because this often results in an injury or a bad attitude...which results in less workout time overall...meaning the spiinning of wheels and getting no where. So, you might just do give five mins more with each work out. 5x5 basically means you have easily added in another work out per week. Are you getting enough Fiber? Your medication could be slwoing things down. You could try taking a fiber supplement, be more mindful of the fiber content of your foods, take a stool softener on the mornings that you don't "go," etc.....
