| Pregnancy & Parenting | False Positive? | Jun 05 2009 21:02 (UTC) |

Just got back from the doctor and....
IT WAS A FALSE POSITIVE!!!!!
They ran the test again today, twice, and both were negative. Also the fact that I started my period the day I expected it and the 3 negative home tests made the doctor confident enough to prescribe the birth control that I asked for before the positive

Thank you for your replies. The bleeding is very much like my menstrual bleeding -- very heavy and it is right when I was expecting it to come as well. I also thought it was strange that they detected it from a urine sample 3 days after my first time having sex. I knew that you could get pregnant the first time, I was just surprised, you know? I will go in today for another test and see what happens, but I'm very nervous :( |

| Weight Gain | Weight Gainers: What did YOU eat today? | Dec 05 2008 02:13 (UTC) |

Hey guys! I was wondering if you would mind me joining for a bit I landed myself in the hospital this past week and have been on the WORST diet ever. No veggies, no fiber, low protein...only refined carbs. That's all I was ALLOWED to eat!!! Now that I am out of the hospital they are telling me I need to gain some weight. I may have an appointment with a dietitian soon, but until then (and after too) I could really use some support and tips! The last 2 days have been my first for gaining weight, and I have pretty much just gotten depressed and binged through both of them. Tomorrow I should be allowed to expand my diet a bit more, but not too much, and I want to start gaining with healthy foods and in a healthy way. I would like to add exercise too, but how on earth can I when I feel so full all the time?! (The doctor said the exercise is a good idea I just have to make sure to eat enough for it)

Thank you for your replies!
I am a little nervous though! I have told myself (and my mom so she can help me) that I binged today but I WILL NOT DO IT TOMORROW!

I'm 18, 5'4", 118-120 lbs, I do circuit training with 5 lb weights about 2-3 times per week and I eat about 2100-2300. I still haven't gained and I'm tempted to bump it up and see if I can still maintain on a higher amount |

My FAVORITE breakfast that I have every day is: 1/3 cup oatmeal (100 cals) 1 Tbsp Peanut butter (95 cals) 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed meal (60 cals) 1/2 banana (50 cals)
Comes up to 305 and it is very yummy and satisfying |

Thank you for your response! I do not know if my calories really balance out...I think they do but I find I get EVEN MORE obsessed when I track protein/carb/fat ratios! My day today looked like this: Breakfast: oatmeal with banana, ground flaxseed, and peanut butter, a glass of milk, and an apple. Lunch: whole wheat tortilla with lettuce, turkey breast, and mustard, a hardboiled egg, an apple, cucumber slices and celery sticks.
peanut butter mixed with cottage cheese, yogurt, and puffed millet (twice..so good!) cucumber slices, celery and carrot sticks, and a glass of milk an apple with cottage cheese cottage cheese with turkey breast and turkey pepperoni corn thins with flax and some more pepperoni Yeahh there was more today but...I don't want to write it all =X I would like to think that's somewhat balanced though...I make sure to eat protein, fats, and carbs..just not really in a certain ratio. |

Happy Sweet Sixteen oxymoron00 =D How exciting! You seem to have the idea -- an occasional day of over/under eating won't do much damage, just make sure it isn't a regular thing and try not to let it happen again! We all have our busy days but you need to make time for yourself! Your health won't put itself on hold just because you're busy ;) I realized I haven't posted for a while haha so here's today (so far and what I plan the rest to be) Breakfast: Oatmeal with banana, PB and ground flaxseed stirred in *I had to go to work for a couple hours for a meeting...there was chocolate milk and huge bagels..which just happens to be a weakness of mine...but I RESISTED!!!! =D* Snack: Cucumber with hummus Snack: Protein Shake (protein powder, banana, milk) Lunch: Oatmeal with broccoli and spinach stirred in, organic soy tempeh Snack: Apple with PB dip (PB whipped with tofu), celery sticks, chocolate almond milk Dinner: Turkey wrap (tortilla, farmer's cheese, turkey breast, lettuce), apple Snack: Cottage cheese with PB stirred in I have enough free space that if I'm still hungry I may throw another protein shake in tonight...I found a way to make it SOOO creamy and thick (it was just like a triple thick milkshake =D) |

I'd recommend calling them or contacting them in some way, but if that's not an option then puzzles are good. Jigsaw puzzles, logic puzzles...Sudoku..they all keep your mind busy. I keep 1000 piece puzzles around for those times and when I need to get my mind off of food! Also, you could volunteer somewhere and get out around people. I have been feeling very lonely lately so I adopted 2 kittens and I am going to begin volunteering at that animal shelter. You could volunteer to serve meals to the homeless, clean up parks, etc. Wait...are you not ALLOWED to leave? |

| I'm going to say something to her...even though it's near impossible to convince her to see something someone else's way. I think she's just being really immature and they aren't her cats. I don't mean to talk bad about my mom but she seriously acts like a child sometimes. |

| Hah well I'm a little mad right now..I bet I'm just being dumb though! I called my mom and told her what I named them (she will be living here with them too) and she was just like, "ugh...oh..well I guess I'll just have to make up my own names for them then.." I'm just kinda feeling like, well..they're MY cats, the first things I'VE ever bought and payed for everything myself and I am taking care of by myself..so I should get to name them myself. Is it stupid that it upsets me that she's just going to give them different names because she isn't fond of what I named them..? |

| Thanks so much for your input! I was hoping to get opinions on names =D The little Siamese is about 10 weeks old and the Tux cat is about 3-4 months. They're so tiny and cute!!! I miss them =( haha I'm really excited because I've always wanted a cat that will sit on your shoulder and Chai (haha ;D trying it out) has crawled onto my shoulder every time I've been in there. Kashi (again...testing!) has a couple times..I hope they keep that up! They are seriously so loving and sweet though..that's why I picked em! but yeah pet deposits are killers! Mine is only $300 but still...that's quite a bit! Hmm I think I do like those names... |

I haven't totally decided but I thought the idea of going with a theme was cute. And I've been a big fan of CD's kitten names but my mom refuses to let me name them after alcoholic beverages! So I went with other drink ideas.. When I think about Harley (the Siamese) it reminds me of chai tea cause he has that tan-brown-creamy color going on. I thought Macchiato (but I'd call it something shorter probably) would be cute for the tuxedo since a macchiato is coffee with a little foam in it (the black and white!) ..Chai and Macchi? haha I don't know though =\ I'm still thinkin about different possibilities and cute theme things! I've always thought Kasha/Kashi would be a cute name too...Chai and Kashi? haha |

| If I remember correctly from your other post...you have an ED and are not interested in recovery? Honestly if that is the case then this isn't the site for you. This site is all about healthy weight maintenance which an ED has no part in. Correct me if I'm wrong but I know that was the case a day or 2 ago. |

I personally think that the higher price is worth it! I don't have much money to spend, but I always make sure that I get quality foods. I have felt much better since doing it that way too! If you really can't live without bars like that, then I'd go with Kashi =) |

D. I follow the same meal plan all year round. My health doesn't take a break so I don't either ;P Everyone has their own way of looking at it, and I don't think anyone who indulges during the holidays is wrong..I just prefer not to! I don't even want the foods that come up during the holidays! If I did, I'd have some, but I just don't =) If I ever crave anything, it is something that I eat normally, so I don't see holidays as being any different from the rest of the year |

| Indeed. I ALWAYS check ingredients on products (even before calories and other stuff!) and most bars (especially those and quaker) just blow my mind! To think they are looked on as a health food! I avoid them like the plague and just stick to natural foods. |

Hey there! Our stats are pretty much identical except I'm 17! I'm 5'4", 116-118 lbs and I would guess I have a pretty low BF% but I've never been tested =P Don't go for 110..If you're bodyfat is that low you can't really afford to lose weight and be healthy. Well, maybe you could lose weight but it wouldn't be too much fat! 1200 cals a day is far too low for you too. 1200 is for a sedentary, 5'2", 100 lb female. You are more active, taller, and weigh more, so EAT MORE! You're muscles won't be able to repair themselves on that low of an intake and your workouts will suffer. I have been eating at least 2000 a day and have been maintaining. I'm still toying with my calories to find maintenance...my intake for the past couple days has been something like: 2000, 2300, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2000...haven't gained yet! I went that low for a while and it shot my metabolism. I gained weight when I first increased calories but it dropped off and I stabilized. Just please, don't go that low and don't try to lose much more weight. Keep in mind BMI doesn't take into account your body comp. Good luck! |

There is a possibility I didn't overtrain, it's just I seemed to have all the symptoms there for a while. I used to work out doing 1.5-2.5 hours of pretty intense cardio circuits with weights or at least 1 hour of cardio intervals. My body may not be overtrained by that though since I had been doing it for so long -- maybe it got used to it. For some reason I keep thinking the calorie increase has something to do with it. It just makes me feel heavier or fatter or something. |

Needless to say that was one of the hardest things I've done.
I don't wanna push my luck though! haha
So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
- Plot your weight curve
- Analyze the trend of your weight (see under Recent in the figure above)
- Determine the projected target date (see under Overall in the figure above)
