hello everyone. im new also, seems like there alot of new people everyday. anyway, i recently started birth control and i have gained a few pounds (10lbs). i feel horrible about it and felt like it was out of my control since i had changed nothing about my daily routein. but besides that im planning on losing that 10 lbs, maybe a little more for some self esteem. i plan on starting with a one day fast to clean out my body abd start fresh then i will limit my cal intake to 900-1000. i bought a jump rope and i will do 12 mins of that a day. it seems very possible for me to do this since im on my spring break right now. let you all know how it goes.

I don't think it is healthy to eat 1000 calories a day. Increased exercise is great, but... You might want to talk to you doctor about it. Just a thought.

i value your concern...but i have a real poor metabolism and my bmr is pretty low, so if i do want to lose this 10lbs that would be the ideal calorie intake. its only for the short term anyway. good news i have lost my first pound, only nine more to go. i am also in the market for a new scale, one that is digital and can read half pounds....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. i need to find a scale i can trust, the old fashioned spring scale might be a little worn out... i have an appointment at the gym on friday so im off to the cardio machines then. maybe i will join the gym for real intead of getting in for free through my friends...lol... so take care everyone

I'm very happy with the scale I have now. It's called "Taylor Lithium Electronic Scale". It's digital and is very accurate. I bought it at WalMart.

SWEEEET!! thank you nancy for the tip i checked it out and it sounds very nice... so tomarrow im going to the gym, very excited. golly for some reason i cant sleep lately i think its due to stress or anxiety, no strange nightmares thought. wel lol duh cuz i cant sleep. i am also an artist and i have begun to do some more art for myself, instead of for school or others. kinda draining when you are go go go, and i forget that i have to stop and find my own inspiration again when it comes to my personal happiness (art). i have to go grocery shoppong soon...my worst nightmare...i literally hate grocery shopping, i try to stop it and make excuses all the time, and when i do so i end up going on a midnight run and end up buying junk food and binging on it. :roll: when will i learn so got to get up tomarrow and off to work. catch y'all later
