Weight Gain

I have been on PD since the beginning of the year but since going onto the cycler in June, I just can't control my weight. Presently, I am consuming about 1000 cals a day and the weight keeps going up and up. I try to restrict my fluid intake to about 1 and half liters a day. I have put on six kilos in about two months. I have to say that this situation is getting me down. I don't think there is any answer but venting does help.

I seem to be piling on the pounds too. I think I'm feeling better and my appetite is better. It sucks. I don't want to have to buy more clothes.

Right, exercise!!! Walk as much as possible. I walk 4-5 miles a day and do not have any weight gain problem.

I started out with PD, and gained weight like crazy. Two things though: I'm short, so the belly stuff just all went out front. And two, I had infections, so I was never draining ALL the fluid. That may be some of your weight gain (it was mine!).
