Health & Support	No period for 4 months.. ED?	Aug 31 2008 02:41 (UTC)
she probably just lost it because she's so athletic... i lost my period the second track season started, didnt get it back for 6 months because i continued to run every day. then i gained 15 lbs and got it back >.< cruel irony, right? i don't think i'd go so far as to say she has an ed though. she might, but it might just be from all the physical work.
Fitness	Good Yoga DVD	Aug 29 2008 22:53 (UTC)	2
bodywisdom meadia is really good.... yoga complete for every body. it's really good, one of my favorites. it really helps you try and think about body position and if you're doing stuff right. AND it has little options to make the poses harder or easier, depending on what you can do. over 35 workouts.
Weight Loss	Undereating Troubles	Aug 29 2008 06:43 (UTC)	6
oye...i have no clue. BUT, drink TONS of water...i drink over a gallon a day. it really has helped me lose weight like nothing else. and of course, exercise. the only way you're going to be losing weight eating 2400 calories in a day is by buring possibly over 400, depending on how many calories you burn sitting around doing nothing (usually around 2000)
Weight Loss	Anyone else a 34d?	Aug 27 2008 05:19 (UTC)	29
like katydid22, i LOVE kohls bras! there's a brand called warmers, and they usually have 34d available...push up or not, many colors, and REALLY comfy...and pretty sexy :D bra sizing can be really weird, especially at vs. 34d is almost the same thing as 36c, except you're a little skinnier with bigger boobs as apposed to the opposite. it's a very small difference, but i've found it really does matter haha i totally feel like a bra connoisseur now.
Weight Loss	Does Over-eating just make you want to eat more?	Aug 22 2008 23:40 (UTC)	1
ug yes. i hate binging so much. i had gotten down to almost my goal weight, then i started picking up binging...i've gained 15 lbs. BUT that's gonna change. i suggest the self-help-type book "taming of the chew"...it's funny, sensible, and helps.
Health & Support	I hate to admit that I am SICK AND TIRED of getting TTOM	Jul 13 2008 20:18 (UTC)
ya know, i used to hate it just as much as you do... but after not having it for 6 months, i kinda miss good old tom. (i blame joining the track team...running 3 miles+ every day will tend to do that to you i guess ^.^)
Weight Loss	Lose weight cycling	Jul 04 2008 21:21 (UTC)	3
cycling totally opened up my world to weightloss/exercise. like you, i started at 30 minutes or so a night, (eventually upped it to an hour before i joined my high school's track team) and now i've managed to lose over 30 lbs. keep it up! and someone probably already mentioned this, but the beer isn't the worst thing in the world, but it definitely isn't helping at all. loaded with dead calories that aren't doing anything for your body except hinder you. sounds stupid, but have a glass of juice instead (maybe some naked or odwalla...something healthy) to at least start breaking you of the habit. an occasional beer isn't bad, and i've heard it can be good for you, but if you're trying to lose weight... good luck!
Foods	Celery and Peanut Butter	Jul 04 2008 01:40 (UTC)	3
usually when i bust out the peanutbutter it means a binge, so i have to be really careful, but i LOVE celery with peanutbutter!
Weight Loss	Getting seriously depressed now! Why is the scale not shifting at all!	Jun 27 2008 21:04 (UTC)
just a random little side of information, but if you're going to be drinking wine, you should try to make it red wine...it has antioxidants and can actually be GOOD for you, as apposed to white wine with completely empty calories. of course this isn't very helpful if you don't like red wine, but i thought i'd just throw that out there for ya. good luck!
Weight Loss	Anyone afraid of gaining fat/weight back?	May 16 2008 20:46 (UTC)	3
i am absolutely terrified of gaining back the 30lbs i've lost. especially since i've already gained 4 lbs in the last few weeks...i kinda slipped up. i'm starting to get back into good habits again though. oatmeal is probably better for you, but not if you're gonna have two bowls of it.
Weight Loss	My scale hates me :(	May 15 2008 10:10 (UTC)	1
as said before, try weighing yourself in the morning: after you go to the bathroom, before you drink anything. that way, you'll get more consistent numbers. i weigh myself every day, and i haven't "cracked" yet, but i'm sure it can't be good either :P also, eating only breakfast and dinner=BAD it's best to eat 4-6 times a day, small meals. helps your metabolism out a bunch, and helps you eat less if you control the small portions.
Motivation	anyone wanting to go from 140 down to 120?	May 15 2008 04:43 (UTC)	650
AAAAAH! perfect. JOINED i'm 140 right now, totally pigged out today though. and i dont have enough time to do any exercise :(
Weight Loss	How long have YOU been on a diet/watching your weight?	May 14 2008 07:56 (UTC)	3
ever since about 6th grade i've been unhappy with my weight. my sister used to call me twiggy because i was really skinny growing up, but i just loaded on the weight during middle school. now i'm 18. i started my "diet" (lifestyle change ^_^) in november. i was at 170, and something just kicked in and i realized i needed to just lose it. now i've been around 140 for about a month (been getting some binge-eating habits i'm afraid...working on killing those), lowest was 133, and i'm hoping to get back down there and stay around 130-125. (i'm 5'8")
Foods	What do ya'll put in your tea?	May 07 2008 02:39 (UTC)	24
1)vanilla strawberry rose chocolate carmel enchantment (it's chai) black spiced chai english breakfast licorice spice orange spice moonlight spiceany kind really... idk, honestly the list goes on and on... 2) usually nothing, but i'll RARELY/occasionally have almond/soy/regular milk. and i never really put sugar in any more. ...now coffee? whole different story :D
Young Calorie Counters	Do you still feel flabby/fat even though people call you skinny?	May 07 2008 01:42 (UTC)	42
GREAT thread! this totally happens to me all the time, and i really do want to feel as skinny as i've become. age: 18 height: 5'8" starting weight: 170 current weight: 137 goal weight: 125-130 (i'm kinda maintaining right now though) parts i want to tone up: -inner thighs (gross, anyone?) -bootay -stomach/abs -arms (haha basically everything i guess.) and Kumi, please. just because the computer says it's true, doesn't mean it is. we are all very different.
Motivation	I ate 100 extra calories today and I feel guilty as heck!!!!!!	May 06 2008 06:10 (UTC)	3
honey, you have NOTHING to be worried about with 100 calories over, though it's still good to watch it a little more carefully... i'm 700 for the day... you eat THAT and then tell me how guilty you feel!!!
Weight Loss	Personal incentive for losing?	May 05 2008 05:48 (UTC)	20
once i reach my goal weight, i'm thinking about getting my belly button pierced. also, i'm going to buy a bikini for the first time in my life!!!
Weight Loss	No weightloss???	Apr 29 2008 02:56 (UTC)	4
while eating more is great and all, and could be the solution, that might just be wishful thinking. try switching up your work out... one day, run really fast for a few minutes, take a minute break, repeat several times till you're totally worked. the next day, run at a good pace you feel comfortable with for a really long time.
Foods	Peanut butter............. crunchy or smooth? poll!!!!!	Apr 29 2008 00:40 (UTC)	6
sigh peanut butter is the devil! lol 1) either way, but CRUNCHY is amazing! (skippy's all natural extra crunch is the best!) 2) either way...it's good on cereal 3)...cold 0.o never had it hot... w/ bananas, celery, cereal, ice cream...anything!
Weight Loss	How long Did it take you to lose 25 lbs?/and how did you do it?	Apr 24 2008 03:23 (UTC)	5
i started off "slightly" overweight, according to bmi. it took me about 3 months.
Weight Loss	I hate that people are noticing	Apr 24 2008 02:52 (UTC)	24
i know EXACTLY what you mean. even today the school councilor walked up to me and was like, "wow, you're looking tiny!" i feel the way you do...when people compliment me, i'm like holy crap, was i seriously that fat? ya, i was. and of course now a bunch of my friends think i'm anorexic. go figure. i guess they don't realize maybe i was sick of being the fat chick in our group? whatever. but ya, idk. sometimes i love it, sometimes i hate it :) good luck losing!
Weight Loss	Tips and reccomendations for people with slow metabolism?	Apr 23 2008 06:30 (UTC)	1
i second noresolution. you should eat more frequently, that'll really help raise your metabolism. you could also try drinking green tea...it's supposed to help with that too.
