I want the cfs where u lose weight. I think its funny how u went from a muscular 190lb to a skinny 161lb post cfs. Me, i went from a muscular 230lb to my heaviest fat 297lb weakling, its not a good look, lol. but i have managed to claw my weight down and i find weightlifting to be the best exercise, like what was said walking can leave u destroyed, i manage to train using repititions of 1-3 with long rest periods, i may only train for 15 mins 1-2 times a week but it helps. some weeks i do nothing as ive got to the stage where i know if i do something i will pay for it even if i had done the same thing last week, one thing that cfs gives u is the ability to read your body. in the early stages of cfs, before i even knew i had it , i would push myself through some big workouts huffing and puffing, shaking and sweating more then normal, feel like throwing up, then bang back in bed for a week, then silly me would do it all again.
hind sight would be a great thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cheers!!!!:victory:
