i just had the flu a few weeks back and it was really hard coming back to the heavy weights and lactic acid producing workouts. don't rush back into it but rather take your time. i also waited a week before stepping back up to the weights but it was worth it since i did'nt get sick again. it was really hard to not workout, i felt like i was losing strength everyday. my first workout back was lousy but i kept with it and am already way ahead of where i was before i was sick. BTW, i used to weight 235 and it was'nt muscle. like you, i decided to lose weight and get my life back and within 12 months i was down to 180.
