Give your legs a massage, preferably with something that has camphor in it.

If you're having the baby tell the father. He has the right to know and often things are easier to figure out with two people involved.

Don't know about the measurements but toned arms and shoulders are nice on tall girls.

There is no reason to stop losing weight over a wedding dress. I never understood why weddings have to be so complicated, you could just rent or buy a dress in that shape closer to the wedding date. Don't forget that becoming slim often makes women decrease in bra size.

If you are 200lbs (90 kgs) now it's possible to reach 170(77) by march, because the first pounds are the easiest to shed with diet and exercise, and there is no way 10 to 13kg are not going to show.

I didn't know there was a diet based only on fruit but I happened to eat only fruit instead of dinner or breakfast and it's not that bad unless you plan on working out. Depends on the fruit I guess, apples, watermelons and oranges for example do not help the hunger but bananas, plums and grapes do the trick, at least for me.

Are you already thin? Or normal weight? Because the last pounds are very hard to shed once you hit the the normal range, it can take a few months and it's less than one pound a week. It took me 5 months, that's 20 weeks,  to go from 60kgs to 54, and I did not cheat.

10 Fahrenheit is -12 centigrade right? Try a goretex jacket, the kind with many zippers and pockets used for mountain trekking not skying, find something to tie over your mouth and nose, a windstopper headband is also good. Just ask for trekking equipment in a sports store, they should have a lot of stuff to pick from, it's the kind of equipment that is light but will keep the warmth even if it's a blizzard oustside.

In eastern Europe the food is not expensive but the salaries are also smallish. 1 kg of apples is currently 1$, plums less than 1$, 1 kg of chicken breast about 5$, 1/2kg chicken livers 1$, 1kg of potatoes 0.3$, grapes 0.3$, bananas 1$, basmati rice 2$, beans 2$, 1 liter of 1.5% fat milk less than 1$. Of course these are the prices in peripheral markets and hipermarkets, a normal neighbourhood store would sell them at double or triple the price.

My weekly budget is around 30-40$ and includes both the food and higiene products. I feel really lucky because fruit and veggies are cheap, but clothes and home appliances for example are expensive.

Is there an age difference? It's possible to lose interest in sex itself, not the person you're having sex with. If you have the need and he doesn't, then there is an incompatibility and things need to be cleared up.

I don't know, when I was overweight I could eat as much as 1000cals in one meal, but once I started pacing myself for a while it became really hard to cheat since I couldn't eat more than 400 cals in one meal without feeling full to the brim. If you're doing things properly the stomach should shrink and the cravings will be satisfied with a lot less food than before. Also the reward for losing weight shouldn't be the (fast)food that put the weight there in the first place, that's just hanging on to a bad habit.

Just look at your waist area, when the gut is gone you're pretty much done with the weightloss. You're 175 cm tall  (I'm used to the metric system) and 82kgs (180pounds) is still to much, 160 sounds better.

Up to 25% of athletes lose their periods for different amounts of time. It's not necessarily a tragedy especially if you've stopped growing, if all the tests came out fine and you are feeling perfectly ok just leave it be, it will come back eventually.

You are definitely not to thin, I'm also athletic 5'7" and 120 pounds, I used to lose periods for up to three or four months when I was 20 and I weighed more than this back then, did a lot of blood tests and ultrasounds but all came back fine and the episodes suddenly stopped around the age of 24. Don't sweat it, just like dismenorrhea (the pains associated with menstruation) amenorrhea is not always explicable.

Carbonated soft drinks distend the stomach and weaken the esophageal valve, the one that keeps the food down, so in time it's possible to get some nasty reflux problems. One can every now and then is fine, just don't make it a habit.

That is one weird piece of news

Lunch has always been my biggest meal. I don't think it matters as long as you don't go over the daily calorie quota.
