well when your eating your proteins and carbs and fats, try to make them quality sources, like lean meats, for protein, and good fats monounsaturated and polyunsaturated from nuts or oils.

carbs, try to make complex carbs, like from whole wheat bread or oatmeal or sweet potatoes, not starchy white potatoes or potato chips or something like that

oikos greek plain yogurt. its ballin

ok thanks.so about 280 =) i guess whenever i c them on a cooking show they look bigger than what they really are. lol 

yeah suicide was on my mind alot. and, things ticked me off and made me really sad and mopey alot more easy. i snapped on my parents alot and stuff. i just grew very introverted and removed from everyone.

not only was the starvation affecting me physically, but severely mentally as well. i was not fun to be around im sure.

keep eating more. you'll feel awesome. i know even on like 1400, i felt so much more vivacious and energized. on 2000+ (what i'm eating now), i feel like how i think someone living a full life should feel.

mentally, im more aware and keen. school work is easier. and social situations aren't as arduous and bothersome.

i dont have any near what u all have. but i go into the yoga room at our gym to do my swiss ball exercises, abs stuff, and squats and lunges. except, once i opened the door to do my routines and there was a yoga class going on inside! i was like whoops! and closed the door and silently walked away lol!

keb, dont be nervous. i was nervous too, cuz i thought ppl would be condescending and like uppity towards a newcomer. like psh look at her! what does SHE know??!! idk i guess sorta like a territorial thing. but, the ppl at my gym are so nice and friendly. and understanding and such. :-) i always look forward to going to the gym! i hate sitting still anymore! sometimes, i even go twice a day.

i used to drink vanilla soy protein but it had wayy to much sugar per serviing, so i switched to vanilla whey. the whey product i use has 1g of sugar and 280mg of sodium, 60g of protein per serving, and 1g of sat fat.

i always drink one after a workout and mix it in a blender with ice, water, bananas, and 2T of my natural pb. or, i mix it in a blender with ice, water strawberries bananas and sometimes fruit like cantalope or honeydew.

its sooo yummy. theyre like milkshakes, which are one of my favorite foods. and these are healthy so theyre a good fix for my milkshake cravings while being healthy and proteindense at the same time! =)

everyother day i do half an hr on elliptical, sometimes an hr. on the odd days i do like fifteen mins of weight lifting on my arms and twenty on my core in addition to abbout 25 mins on elliptical =) i occasionally walk too.

ok =) yeah i try to get filled on dense cereal like allbran and fiber one before school starts. i eat breakfast at 730 and my lunch doesnt start till 1220!

i try to eat 2400. though i usually end up around 2200-2300

ugh its hell. i take a birthcontrol for it. =( im off my period as of today and i didnt weigh myself as it takes me like a few days after my period for everything to resume to normality. plus, the water retention positivelinny mentioned should recede after a few days, so i will weigh myself in a few days.

thx for all the help though. =D <<333

dartrinton, whats wrong with too much polyunsaturated fat??

i absolutely feel really good after a work out. not so much high all the time, but just a general feeling of accomplishment, like ive done something good for myself and my body.

and yea i feel the same when i dont hit the gym everyday of the week. since ive been working out religiously, like everyday, since this spring, its become a part of my life. i feel different, like weak, when i dont. i love working out!! woohoo lol =D

thx. =) i cant wait. hs is old news lol

thx for all the great advice. =) i plan on buying a mini fridge. i guess stereotyping college life has made me think im constantly like gonna be in class or studying, thusly, no time to stop at the dorm and make a pro shake or make oatmeal.

u guys have made me less nervous about the big step to college. =) thx.

thx for the advice. u make me feel less paranoid about being able or not being able to workout next yr.

i will most certainly prioritize my sched to fit in exercise. it feels so good and makes ya feel so accomplished, like youve done something good, and best yet, good for yourself. =)
