| Health & Support | Does BIRTH CONTROL make you gain weight? | Dec 28 2007 11:02 (UTC) |
15 |
| I'm so glad this topic was brought up last June. I was doing a search engine general serach for this and these answers really helped. I'm bumping up the thread. I'm an egg donor and they gave me birth control with a very high hormone so the mother & I could be on the same scedule. My body is acting so oddly-just as if I were pregnant. Smells are making me sick, my stomach is constantly in a state of turmoil. Because of this, I've not eaten a lot over the last week. I have to force myself to stay over 1200 calories and yet I've gained five pounds this last week. I'm not overweight but I do have a call into the reproductive center because my clothing is getting a bit tight on me :( Thank you all again for the answers to this question! |

| Weight Loss | logging food items-how do YOU do it? | Dec 06 2007 00:26 (UTC) |

| I have a chart I printed out (just a simple table in Word). I write things down during the day including what the food is, brand name, portion, fiber, protein, fat, calories, iron and why I ate it. Then I log in at night and type it all in :) If anyone wants the table, I'd be happy to email it to them. I keep track of my fiber & iron because I have anemia very badly. |

| I think your sister's comment`s are AWFUL! While I am not "skinny", I try to always think before I say something. I know I have hurt people when I was younger, in high school. It gives a person a confidence boost to put others down, perhaps.
I would say your sister has self-confidence issues herself & she says stupid things to make herself feel better. I just went back to volunteer at a job I quit 3 months ago & my boss said, "I see you've gained a bit of weight since you quit". He is a guy though & I'm not taking it too hard. I have gained weight & am working to be healthy and drop it. |

| No kids :) The gym is 30 minutes from my home & I work at home, so that is not really an option for me. I do go bike riding though. I think my calories are on target too, after calculating my BMR. I'll try to watch my ratios. Thanks guys! |

| Thanks for the link. I burn approx. 1800 calories a day. So, to drop weight, I am suppose to deduct 500, correct? That would be right around 1300-right where I am.
I don't mind eating the same thing every day. It saves me the time and energy of trying to think of what to make :) LOL! |

| Motivation | Help!!! What do you eat on dates? | Jun 11 2006 01:01 (UTC) |

| It depends on the date. Usually grilled chicken or fish without any heavy sauces is best. A salad and baked potatoes on the side.
I usually choose the grilled chicken, with a light lemon sauce & a salad. Yum! |

| I'm so glad you posted this question. I'm new & don't know how to post a new thread yet. (Sorry if I'm hijacking yours!)
I started watching what I ate about three weeks ago. I'm 5'8" and started at 135. My goal weight was 125 by July. I bike or walk 3x a week & do yoga for 1 hour a week. I also do some light weight lifting 2x a week. Up until yesterday I was 137-139. I had gained weight over the last three weeks. I have been diligent & have only went over my calorie limit of 1300 ONCE. Today I woke up & was at 134-yeah! Hopefully my weight will keep going down. |

| Hi! This is my first post. I actually just started a week ago. I'm up two lbs, but I'm not too discouraged. I've been working out & biking more than I ever have & I'm hoping I'm building muscle :)
I weigh 137lb. I started at 135lb, and my goal by the end of July is 125. Thanks! :) |
