I broke my leg 1 yr ago, and during that time gained 40lbs!. It took appx 6 months to feel back "normal" again. I am an extremely active person, enjoy anything that keeps me moving. I have started my full excercise regime back as of 4months ago. It feels GREAT! I tend to maintain a weight of 135 which to me is perfect! Do not have much further to go, however this last 10 is really working my patience to the extreme! lol, but I know i will get there!
