| Health & Support | Birth Control Pills, Period, Weight Gain | Feb 26 2009 22:51 (UTC) |

not sure if someone has answered this already... but i recently went on birth control because i hadn't gotten my period in over a year (it stopped when i stopped using birth control previously) and i am at a healthy weight, so low weight is not the reason. my doctor prescribed me birth control because she said that not having your period puts you at even GREATER risk for ovarian/ breast/ cervical cancer (even more than the increased risk there is from taking birth control). |

| Fitness | New Runner Who Needs Some Tips | Sep 30 2008 22:35 (UTC) |

Hey, welcome to running! I've always been told that new runners (or runners that haven't ran for a while) should run more often than they think they should for less time than they think they should... 8 miles seems like a lot! I've been running for a while and I still only run 3-4 miles 3-4 times a week! I think that the couch to 5k plan does a pretty good job of introducing you to running. Further, marneedear is right about the strength training, I have ran with strength training and without, and I definitely felt stronger and had less injuries while simultaneously running and doing strength training than I did while just running. |

Usually I get oatmeal (they have really good oatmeal at Starbucks now!)... but if i'm really craving eggs, i'll either have an egg white omelette with veggies or i'll have two pieces dry whole wheat toast with two eggs sunny side up (which would still be only about 400 cals!) |

| Fitness | Treadmill vs. street running. | Sep 28 2008 17:24 (UTC) |

I usually like running outside, but when I do run inside I make sure to put the treadmill on an incline of at least .5 ... I heard that this somewhat simulates outside running! |

| Vegetarian | being vegetarian and eating eggs | Sep 28 2008 17:22 (UTC) |

I don't feel bad about eating eggs as a vegetarian, since they are unfertilized and therefore would just be wasted. I do however make sure that I get organic eggs that claim (and I hope truthfully! though it's so hard to tell where you food comes from these days...) their chickens are cage-free and roam happily around the farm! |

| The Lounge | Bad Relationship? | Sep 28 2008 17:19 (UTC) |
10 |
Heyy, Just thought I'd say that I was in a relationship for 2 1/2 years a couple years ago... and looking back I think I stayed in the relationship for the last 6 months out of comfort and not completely understanding who I would be if I weren't with him (since we had been together for so long... if that makes sense...). If he at any point has made you feel insecure about the person that you are, than already there is a problem. Regardless of whether he claims that that's in your head or that he gives you nothing to feel insecure about... your insecurity is still a reason to either talk things out (which he won't) or take a break from the relationship. You owe it to yourself to be happy all the time, and you should get rid of things in your life that are bringing you down! If he really is your soul mate, you two will find your way back to one another eventually. The person you're in a relationship with should be adding happiness to your life. When the quantity of bad weighs out the good, even if the good is really good, you have to question the relationship. You seem like you have a great head on your shoulders, I'm sure you will work it out fine (: Let us know how it ends up! |

| Weight Loss | Going to bed hungry-Does anyone else find... | Sep 27 2008 15:01 (UTC) |
3 |
I usually try to eat something an hour or so before I go to bed... otherwise it will be hard for me to go to sleep. But I can't eat TOO soon before I go to sleep, because I can't eat on a full stomach. Also, if I go to bed even the slightest bit hungry, my body wakes me up starving the next day! sooo annoying. Today is my sleep in day but my body woke me up at 7 am because i was so hungry! |

You could also try doing some pilates! I've recently started taking a class two times a week and I definitely feel leaner and think I look leaner. I like it because it's like yoga but you break more of a sweat and I'm usually sore the next day! |
