I had a good experience with Estrostep. It is supposed to be a "weight neutral" pill, but I actually ended up getting much leaner while I was taking it. I'm not sure on the MCG, probably higher than Alesse, but not over 30.

Don't worry, I'm not planning on going on a no-protein diet. :) However, as a student with two internships and no money... it's often cheaper and quicker for me to eat carbs, and I really have to work at it to get adaquete protein in my diet. (I was also raised a vegan which is a whole...

Thanks MS! Yes, I'm a late arrival to diet composition.,. seems I've been shoveling sugar-filled lowfat carbs into my mouth since the dawn of time and wondering why I wasn't losing weight. I'm trying to keep my diet about 40-30-30, but still missing the mark a lot of the time. If one...

Gladiola, what do you mean by your ovaries getting "all excited"? I was also on a low dose estrogen pill. When I started taking it I started to lose weight.. now I am off it and my body seems sort of weird. It is hard for me to lose fat and yet I still haven't had a period in three months...

Thanks Spatts, I'm about to print your cutting diet out and study. 1150cals does sound really low! Eh, the burden of being a near-midget. If I am burning, say, 300cals in a cardio session 4x a week, should I bump up the cals on those days? And while I know there is no such thing as...

Hi everyone.. I've done my share of lurking, but I could use your help. I hope I'm not asking stupid questions. I'm currently 5'2", 105lbs.. I had my body fat tested with calipers at 19.5% If I have approximately 85lbs of lean mass, how many calories should I be consuming? I would like...

5'2" 105lbs. I do circuit training 3 times a week, cardio intervals three times a week. (although, this being the week of my univ. finals, I haven't been so consistent.) I don't know my BF%, unfortunatly.

Another question in this vein Not wanting to clutter the board with a new thread.. but I have a question along the same "womanly" lines. It is normal after stopping birth control for your period not to return? I stopped taking mine about a month and a half ago... and I am just neurotic...

I'm 5'2" and about 105lbs... when I go into the free weight area I get lots of "isn't that cute" sort of glances as I grunt and toss the weights around. And I hate when guys come up and make cute little comments: "Ooh, look at you. You're an animal!" (followed by a condescending snicker)...

Estrostep is supposed to be a "weight neutral" pill. When I started it I actually dropped some considerable weight without any diet change. (I wasn't training then...) I'm off BC now, but if I go back on I would definitely go back to Estrostep.

I have really just started training... but I definitely get a sick thrill out of living my life like a lot of people don't. I like being strict and compulsive about adhering to a regimine which is sometimes a pain in the butt, but ultimately makes me feel so much better. (and, I'll admit...

thanks Thanks again for enlightening this newbie. :D
