Did you gain weight on the pill in the past? I can only do the depo shot, and I asked about the weight gain and was told it's not as common as you'd think, and that it would probably only happen if I already had a bad diet. And then... I ended up being one of the few who had an uncommon weight *loss* from it. Still dealing…

thank you, tons of great options! you can blend kale in those green monster smoothies, too, can't you? i have some sitting in my fridge that needs to be used up asap.

I wished I like avocado by itself, but I guess I could buy some guacamole. I've been grabbing hummus as a snack as often as I can, along with a glass of milk.

Log it as food, your sodium intake is important to keep track of, and 170mg per serving can add up if you're drinking it like water. I'd say still drink your 10 cups of water...

I work from home, but I live up 5 flights of stairs. ;) Built-in workout.

Oops I edited right as you replied. It's just right at the end of my post ;) And thanks for the support, I really appreciate it :)

This is kind of why I'm afraid to speak up to anyone except my family and absolute CLOSEST friends (like maybe one or two) about needing to gain weight and how serious it is to me. At first it was "Oh, damn, I can't donate plasma, few pounds short, haha, give me that donut" but now it's gotten more serious than that (it's…

Ah, yes, forgot to mention milk...been trying to get a cup of milk in at every small meal throughout the day. Thanks for the other suggestions, too.

Will you feel deprived if you only eat half the sticky bun? Or a quarter?

I just started topomax for headaches, and I'm sticking with it because it's this or brain surgery (long story), but I'm gonna have to really fight the appetite suppressant side effect of it. That's actually why I downloaded the app and found this board. I'm on the other end of the spectrum and trying to gain weight. I've…

My question is --- Why? Why would you want to deprive your body of it? I hate hate haaaaate TONS of work out plans, but I finally found something that I like - hot yoga, kettlebells, and lindy hop (swing dance). Don't stop just because you can. You need to find something. Losing weight isn't the only purpose of exercise.…

Does anyone have a good list of a snack foods for padding my diet to get some extra, high protein, calories in? I already try to snack on hummus whenever I can, at least one protein bar a day (usually after yoga - I used to go a kettlebell class, but this weight and appetite thing has gotten worse lately and needs to get…
