Hey! I'm just here to chime in that I am also concerned about weight/weight loss stuff. I have been on Weight Watchers, and I lost 30 lbs before being diagnosed with IBS. I would still like to lose 5 or 10 more pounds, but after a couple days of not counting weight watchers points I counted what I had eaten and it added up to way more points that I am allotted daily, and I was eating what I thought was sensible amounts of food... So, what I'm going to do is start a SFS, count points within the IBS diet, and walk each day. I found that doing my classes at the Y, like weight classes and cycle classes and stuff, is just too strenuous lately, because I also am VERY fatigued and tired all the time, but walking seems to be okay. Have you tried walking? I find that if I walk to the coffee shop each morning and get a cup of peppermint tea and then walk back to my apt. I not only have gotten about an hour of exercise, but also gotten kind of a stress-free break while I read the paper over a cup of tea. Anyway, just some thoughts...I started taking advantage of the whole "people on IBS lose weight" thing, and ended up eating too much of healthy foods, which isn't healthy. So, I'm going to try to be more careful, and see how that works.
Hope that helps, if you ever want to vent or ask for anything, feel free to ask me. IBS I know nothing of yet, but I'm an expert on weight loss and diets and foods, etc!
