Thanks for the reply! I actually have a Wii already but I haven't tried Fit or any of that. I'll consider it, for sure. I am considering getting the treadmill/elliptical in a few days just cuz the black Friday/Cyber Monday deals are in full force.

Thank you all for your help!

I agree about the marriage thing--we have been living together for 2 years so far so we are like common law married, haha. It is weird being a little sister (both sisters are 10+ years older than me) and seeing them have kids when I was 13 or so and now, finally reaching the age where that is attainable and "normal" I guess. It is kind of strange how you don't feel any different. Anyway, congrats on the baby. That must be so exciting!

That is some shady ****. I would not trust him one bit. Why would your boyfriend be moving in with another girl? Dump him. I'm sorry but he sucks.

I am not a violent person by nature, but I would have beat her face in and then slammed her against a wall, and THEN called her a bitch. I just can't imagine a mother being like that. My mom never raises her voice or says anything remotely mean. What the hell is up with mean moms on here? So many people say their mom/friends are not supportive and say cruel things regarding weight loss. How is that EVER going to help?

You are beautiful. I'm sorry about your mom.

Same here. Maybe there aren't 100% conclusive medical tests proving this theory, but seeing as I ate about 1000 calories over maintenance yesterday and was still ravenous, and weighed down 2 lbs (both on home scale & gym scale), my body must be a medical mystery! Ooooohh.

Its like clockwork during ovulation for me. Who knows. I tend to believe it is true (although I have trouble approximating an amount of calories burned).

Thanks guys! I didn't take any medications. It was a funny story, actually. I was at my wits end here, I went from 110-120 in about 2 months, recovering from extreme restrictions (1000 calories a day since February of this year). I lost my period and around September it hit me and I freaked out. I went to the doctor and he recomended me to another doctor. I finally made an appointment last week. She tested my blood and did a pelvic exam (yuck), and I was freaking out all week. I had an appointment today to get the results of my bloodwork, and when I woke up this morning I started!!!! After paying about $500 dollars in insurance deductables between the last 3 visits my problem cured itself!!! I gradually just started getting busy with school and not counting anymore, thats how I gained the weight. Now I am just maintaining it. Not gonna lie, peanut butter helped do the trick. I have been eating hella peanut butter lately.

Thanks for all your support! :)

Original Post by pgeorgian:

so, "inspired" by someone in another thread who suggested that i must have eaten a lot of donuts (doughtnuts) to gain 35 pounds in a decade, i did the math:

35 x 3500 = 122,500 extra calories
122,500calories/10years = 12,500 calories/year
12,500 cal/365 days = 33.561 calories/day

that's all it took: an extra 33 calories a day.  about a doughnut a week (i don't eat doughnuts, but for the sake of continuity).

what's your math?

Do you have a career? Friends, perhaps? Or is this forum your crutch for living? Just browsing the forum today you have been nothing but negative and condescending. Thanks for adding another worthless thread out of spite to something Carleyrapp said that actually made sense.

NEATTTTTT you can math. Wow! We care about how much weight you gained in a decade! What kinds of donuts have 33 calories in them anyway? The kind made out of rice and splenda or something? Must have been a decade full of **** donuts. Sucks you ate them. BLECH.

Why are you putting down someone else....people go on this forum for support, not to be subjected to sarcasm. This forum isn't called "High School". Support or help people or quit posting. You are not helping anyone, and she certainly didn't asking for an opinion on "healthy" eating Ms. Nutrition expert. You are the exact reason I use this site daily, but avoid posting in the forums like a plague.

****.

This was a reply to "Littlemalynda"....I should probably specify.

Has anyone had the progesterone shot?

Haha, thanks for the reply. I am only 19 (almost 20!) but I know in the future I do want kids and I have read so many things about losing your period causing infertility--it just kind of scares me, so I add the stress of freaking out about not getting a period onto the stress of work, etc and its just not good.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this though, haha :D

Ok I am not a lesbian but you are HOT lol :) and your stomach is killer. No offense but from reading your journals and how you talk about yourself I am frankly shocked at how amazing of a body you have, DON'T FREAK OUT ANYMORE! You are so pretty, you have a sexy body, you just need to believe it. Seriously.

Hey, DON"T WORRY! I had the pleasure (not!) of getting my first cervical exam at the doctors last week, and they said I was 5 lbs heavier and 4 inches shorter than I am according to my home scale, and I know my height,  obviously. The scales are effed up in doctors offices.

Also, are you working out at all? I have been working out pretty hard core lately and my size 5 skirt is baggy on me but I weigh 5 lbs more than I did when it fit right. Anywho, remember that it is the way you LOOK and FEEL that matters, but I am the same way, recovering from ED, it is hard but just stick with one scale that you are comfortable with because it is a huge trigger seeing jumps like that which just aren't plausible. Get a new scale or get yours fixed and just rely on that one for your real weight, I refuse to believe any scale besides the one in my bathroom at home.

Good luck.

thank you all for your help, its greatly appreciated.

i get home from college in a week, i am going to discuss it with my mom and probably go to the doctor from there.

anyways, you guys are great, thanks again.

Thanks for replying, I am definitely not pregnant/sexually active so
I am not sure what to do. I have never seen a doctor about it but my period has always been pretty irregular.

I hate hate HATE HATE HATE chocolate. it is disgusting. that saves me a lot of temptation though, it is kind of a godsend for maintaining my weight.

its kind of a funny story how it happened though--i loved it in middle school but i would always get a mini-break out after eating it, even a little bite. it took a while for me to equate the chocolate with breaking out. one day my dad told me that it always made him break out as a teenager and he couldn't eating it without breaking out until he was like 25.

i then lost my craving for chocolate. i realized that i hated acne more than i liked chocolate so i just gave it up. haven't eaten a bite in 5 years! I'm the only 19 year old girl i know that hates chocolate, every girl in my dorm eats it by the buttload.
