:) Frozen fruit sounds good... right now I have blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and frozen sliced bananas in the freezer. I thought maybe a couple of banana slices would be nice. I did make it with some sliced apples, which was kind of good. I mash up nuked strawberries and bananas, cool...

I've managed to FINALLY wean myself off of pre-packaged cereals-- I've found OATMEAL at last! I was never totally into it, but once I tried the slower-cooking varieties (scottish oatmeal, irish steel-cut oatmeal, and oat groats) I found myself hooked! Breakfast cereals can't compare to how...

hmmm I'm definitely not an expert here, but I did notice that ever since I cut back my super intense 1hr+ cardio workout and started doing squats, hack squats, other intense leg exercises, my cellulite really diminished.

peanut butter :) I love natural peanut butter-- nuts are dangerous for me, too-- somehow I always lose track of how many I'm eating (it feels weird to go into the kitchen drawer and get out the tablespoon measure for nuts). Hey, when you guys buy natural peanut butter, do you drain some of the...

snacks... Speaking of yogurt, I've tried Dannon Light n Fit vanilla w/ some frozen berries-- I only need like a half cup of the yogurt (60kcals) with a fourth cup of frozen berries, thawed (20-40?)-- it adds up to only 80-100 calories and gives me some fiber + calcium + a little protein. The...

they've improved I was able to sleep last night and the night before with minimal cramping... I a) got a vitamin supplement and b) didn't do any leg work. I dunno, I recall that I really trained my legs hard on Tuesday morning, because I had some extra energy for no apparent reason.. I didn't...

hmmm Maybe not, Poohbear... that's a good point...

wow, thanks for quick replies... Well, I did just start ortho tri cyclin three days ago, but this problem has been around for a while... it's just been really bad the last two days. I figured since I generally eat fortified cereal/fruit/veggies, that I'd be getting potassium and magnesium (am I...

For a while now, I wake up every once in a while with major leg cramps or with one of my quads/hamstrings tingly, painful, and numb (I know it makes no sense-- numb to the touch and painful at the same time-- I guess it's sort of like frostbite). For the last two nights, my sleep has been REALLY...

CrazyK, you're right I just finally had my period recently after a six month hiatus... had to go on estrogen and progesterone, then double dose of estrogen and progesterone, and FINALLY had a period! I was in a total mental haze, very psycho there for a while when I didn't have my period. Now...

Lately I've been on a rampage to avoid over-processed carbs as much as possible. Ever since I've been more vigilant about avoiding them, it seems as if it's been 10x easier to avoid overeating on carbs in general. So, when I saw this bread in the "international aisle" of this yuppie grocery...

family can be reeeeeally annoying FAMILY can be sooo annoying... Hey, why is it that family members seem to have nooo problems making comments about their female relatives' health/eating habits but rarely make any comments about their male relatives? My brothers can gain or lose 30lbs, eat...

obesity in america... In my experience, although we're supposedly a society that favors lean/thin/fit people, it's really difficult to remain dedicated to fitness day to day... I mean, I have family members who react as if I'm the Ultimate Bitch if I pass up on dessert in a restaurant, or say...

:rolleyes:

don't say "skinny" I agree with everyone here, telling someone who's anorexic that she's "too skinny" is definitely not a good idea! For someone with a full-fledged eating disorder, and to normal everyday people, skinny=perfect, good, enviable, beautiful. When I was getting really psychotic...
