Yes, the missing periods are not good... my doctor apparently isn't very smart, because he seems to be really unconcerned. After I missed 3, my mum told him about it, but he said it wasn't a big deal. He still knows I haven't had one. My mum is searching for a gynecologist for me to go to. 

Thank you for the advice, I'll try harder to increase my intake... I was doing that for awhile, getting up to about 1400, but the initial gained weigh scared me so much. :(

They may be a bit hard to put in a basket, but my friends and I made these amazing appetizers with pistachios; goat-cheese covered grapes with a crushed pistachio coating.

What you do is roll some soft goat cheese in your palm with a grape until it's covered. Then, roll it around in crushed pistachios (you can grind the nuts in a blender). Put them in the fridge for an hour, and they're ready to eat!

halloween

roughly how many calories in halloween candy did you eat on halloween?: Probably around 300

what kind of candy did you eat? : An Italian gel-filled fruity candy, an Italian almond-chocolate, and raisinettes.Oh, and had a few candy corn pieces as well. 

what's your favorite candy?: Candy corn and chocolate! 

what's your least favorite candy?: Dum-dums. 

if you had leftover candy, what did you do with it?: I gave it all to my friends.

christmas

what's your favorite food at the christmas dinner table? (stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc): Hmm, well, as far as traditional holiday food with my grandparents (my mum and I don't do Christmas), corn casserole and croissants. I also love the olives for hors d'oeuvres! 

what's your least favorite food at the christmas dinner table?: Turkey. Even before I was vegetarian, I never liked it. 

favorite christmas dessert?: Banana creme pie, yum. And pumpkin pie!

do you cook christmas dinner yourself, or do you go somewhere else for christmas?: With my mum, yes. My grandma does a lot of the cooking when I'm with them. However, this year, being my first as a vegetarian, I'm going to be cooking a few dishes for myself. 

is christmas your favorite holiday?: Not really.

Cans of tomato sauce with tons of splenda mixed in... I just put a can opener, the can, and a couple packs of splenda in my lunch box and I'm set!

When I was little and had lunchables pizzas I would make one pizza that had the cheese, tomato, and chocolate sauce all mixed together. 

I'm 120, and I usually wear 4s, some 6s, and sometimes 2s (that's pretty rare, haha). With tops, I wear smalls. I'm really poorly toned (skinny fat), which I'm hoping to work on.

sylvie_cerise~  I'm so jealous!  Where'd you find it at??  I can't find it anywhere around here, only found the muffin mix (hoping to try out tomorrow).  :)

I found it at Target. It'd pretty hard to find, which is a shame. 

I love them both for different things. Cool whip can make an amazing dip for fruit and can be used in recipes a lot easier. Also, it doesn't melt like reddi whip does. But reddi whip tastes so different, and I love it for its own taste. It's sooo good with sugar free jello!

1) last thing you ate: 100 calorie popcorn bag

2) last thing you drank: Water w/ a slice of lemon

3) the next thing you're going to eat: No idea... something sweet, probably.

4) the next thing you're going to drink: More water!

5) are you craving anything right now?: Amazingly, no!

6) what's your favorite pie flavour?: Pumpkin, yum~

7) name a food you're tired of: I'm not really sick of anything.

8) name a food you hate: Super greasy foods.

9) what's your favorite meal of the day?: I don't have one; it depends on what the actual food is!

10) what's your favorite vegetable?: I love so many veggies, so hard to decide! Perhaps red onions, and eggplant.

When I lost my first 20 pounds, the first winter was very cold. Now, with another 10 pounds gone, it's even more cold! It's the 60s for me too and I've been sleeping with 2 comforters, 4 blankets, and a sheet. And I have Raynaud's (disease where your hands/fingertips/feet/etc become very cold). One big part of how cold/warm you feel is your feet. So, wearing warm socks helps a lot!

I second the Fiber One mix; I found it a couple days ago and it makes great pancakes! I used 1/3 cup of the mix plus a tablespoon of pumpkin; it was pretty filling and tasted excellent, especially for about 130 calories.

I forget where I heard this, but it made me laugh a lot: "...even if I eat this, the kids in Africa will still be hungry."

I need to tell my friends this; they always eat everything on their plate, even if they're stuffed, because of the children in Africa. Being glutinous is even worse than throwing away food, and more insulting to starving children. 

I've been trying to eat slower and chew more. When I was in Europe I was really good and was always last to finish my meal, but since I've been back it's gotten bad again. 

Hmm, I would say keep it the same. I would that if it's higher than usual, you would be fine too. Sodium would only cause a weight gain because you would be retaining water. If you do up your sodium, make sure you drink enough water!

ewwxroflzz: I actually like a lot of diet foods, haha. They taste the same to me as the real things, but it saves the calories. 

Breakfast- Fiber one, blueberries, soy milk

Snack- Cauliflower 

Lunch- Tomato sauce, concord grapes (love these!!), Fuze (I was going to put in some bread, but forgot)

Snack - Smoothie (they said 133 calories, and it tasted amazing!) 

Dinner- Tofu in a peanut and orange sauce with a little bit of jasmine rice; spinach salad with light italian dressing, pine nuts, goat cheese, and strawberries; fresh strawberries and a few grapes.

Total - 1120

Going to have some HG pumpkin pie later, or maybe some more fresh fruit. :D

According to this site, 80-120 for 1/3 cup. They're not really bad for you. 

I'd like to join you guys! My goal is 115 by Nov 30th, so pretty much Thanksgiving. That'd be 7 pounds for me, but I'll probably end up at five anyway, haha. 

I personally think Sundays are good weigh-in days; I've found that the more sleep you get, the lower your morning weight is. (So it boosts my self-esteem, haha).
