I lost a considerable amount of weight and I am not heavy to start with. I have always had difficulty putting on weight to start with so trying to regain it was frustrating. I learned my metabolism is still going strong so I upped my calories with high protein foods, while exercising regularly. It seems to be working seeing as I have slowly been regaining my weight back but it has and is taking time.

Just like Fatherof5, my husband lost quite a bit of weight and was not by any stretch of the imagination heavy to start with. Unfortunately he has been unable to continue walking other than walking up and down in the house a few times throughout the day using the rollater walker. He does not eat as much protein as before bc of the concern of it interfering with the C/L med. On the other hand it is a little easier for me to do all the lifting that I must do to help him get up, in, out, etc. with him being only 130 pounds or less.
