I'm running into bloating issues as well. Especially in this heat wave. For me, it's mostly around my legs, neck and face. The last time I had swelling in my face close to this bad was when I got my wisdom teeth removed. >.<  

I've cut way back on sodium and I'm drinking tons of water too.

Um, I don't have an eating disorder..lol

I'm a 15 year old girl and my best mile time was 6:35, is that good? But I ran 5 miles at a 7:30 pace prior to kicking it up to that pace..I'd love to see how I can go fresh.

Favorite healthier cereals: Original Cheerios, Special K Protein Plus, Wheat Chex and Crispix!

Sugary cereal: Fiber One Caramel Delight, Honey Nut Cheerios,and Chocolate Cheerios mmmm

I hardly ever eat cereal with milk. It gets soggy so fast, so I usually have it with yogurt and fruit as a snack. Or to add crunch to oatmeal.

@ suzushii: and are you male/female? height? weight?

As I said in my previous post, I do not feel compelled to burn off everything I eat..I've been told I look quite muscular for being as small as I am, but I still want gain more muscle as well as fat to look healthier. Fat is like the oil in the machine, you need it! Every dang runner on my cross-country team needs to be on a weight gain diet.. :P 

By how much would you recommend I bump it up?? Just wondering..

I'm 5'2". I'm not really on a strict program, just keeping track of what I eat in a food journal to make sure I'm hitting 2,500 cals everyday and reading everything I can about how to weight gain on CC as well :) And as a side note: No, I'm not recovering from an ED or anything.

I am 15, female, and have been on a 2,500+ calorie weight gain diet for a week now..and haven't gained DIDDLY SQUAT! Grrr...

The good news is that my overall mood and energy levels have improved and my athletic performance has absolutely skyrocketed. I feel like superwoman! I wont overdo it, though.

Will the weight eventually start coming on when my metabolism evens out? Or do I need to increase?

Yeah, I'll admit I'm kind of going overboard on sugary junk food today..but this is probably the only time in my life where "diet food" = high cal yummy treats. Live a little! haha At least my main meals are healthy :P

Edit: I felt a little low on energy during my workout. I still powered through it but, I don't know, something was missing. So, I took the liberty to add a Gorton's Flame Grilled Salmon Filet to my chili-cheese bowl lunch. Mmmm, pescado. Today's total is now 2,600 cals. :)
