I'm not trying to gain anymore but I was at 5800 before, and I drank a lot of no-added sugar juices, ate a lot of pasta, and made homemade pizza all the time! Trying to eat healthy with that many cal was pretty difficult for me, but I also stuck with higher cal vinaigrette dressings on salads and ate a lot of high-cal…

Baby carrots and whatever veggies are cheap Turkey jerky (even healthier than beef jerky with all the protein) Salsa (Looove celery dipped in it!) Balsamic Vinegar heads of lettuce Nonfat greek yogurt (amazing with pomegranate seeds!) Whatever fruit is in season Coffee Skim Milk Chicken Breasts Minced garlic lemon pepper…

Salsa makes for a delicious dressing if you ask me. Also love balsamic vinegar! :)

I didn't get my GW from a book or any chart, I got it based on how I look, and how I want to look. Once I get there, I plan on gaining some back in muscle anyway!

In basically the same boat as you, they diagnosed me with an eating disorder! I'd love to find out what I can do to stop this. It can be so discouraging!

Height: 5'7 SW: 130 CW: 118 GW: 115 UGW: Depends on what I feel about 115. Please add me, even if you aren't my twin! I try to be very supportive. :)

Made plans for my family, my boyfriend and his family as well as myself to go to Olive Garden for dinner tonight. :) Hopefully it doesn't kill my diary for the day!

I know exactly what you are talking about! This summer job has been killing me like that.

Well, I've rethought what I said. My periods are definetly lighter (barely any bleeding, only lasting 2-3 days), but the cramps are like hell, barely get out of bed cramps one month, where the next they never even appear. Plus it depends how skinny you are/were and what you are comparing to. :) Also, bananas help if you…

I don't have any more to say than everybody else, but I wish you luck and I hope that this is more motivation for you! Periods get lighter when you are skinnier. And for some people, cramps go away. :)

You don't need to eat it all. :) All you need is the minimum 1200 for the day, and if you're not hungry after that then thats awesome! If you still don't have the 1200, I'd just wait until you are hungry. Unless you are planning on going to bed within the next 3 hours, then I honestly don't know what to tell you, I've…

I'm 5'8, currently at 119 or 120 (it varies) and I'm seeing the last of it around my hips and thighs. Just have to find an exercise that targets your problem areas. :) Mine is running!

Well, my thing currently is set at the lowest daily activity level, I never entered in riding horses in that.

I don't get sore the next day but I think I'll just log half of it from now on and keep an eye to see :) I didn't add it to my everyday activity level. Thanks for the help guys!

A little help please guys? :) I was wondering if it is possibly to overdo a cardio exercise to the point where it is no longer as efficient in burning calories.

The cravings can be pretty bad if you ask me, but the worst part is indulging slightly, then looking in the mirror the next day to see how bloated you are, and being so upset because it looks like that little treat made you gain 5 pounds. It took me months to figure out that the indulgence and random 'weight gain' wasn't…

Apples!

Well, my real problem is that I always put one packet of equal in my coffee every morning, and I'm almost positive I'd die without coffee, but I can't stand it black, and I don't want to drown it in cream. So really, I guess I want to know if I'd be better off having a packet or two of equal everyday, or using regular…

Sounds ike a plan I guess!

It's not that it's 'squishy' (I probably should have worded that differently), it's more like I lost most of the muscle tone, and it turned into fat.
