With my continuing back problems I can't comfortably exercise like I'd like. I've put five pounds on since I got back from the UK in November. Of course, that included Thanksgiving and Christmas with all the baking involved with both holidays.

Since my diet was successful last year at helping me lose 35 pounds in six months with no exercise, I'll do it again but maybe not as drastically. 1100 calories a day is brutal!
