I hope everything works out for you
Why is lifting weights affecting your monthly cycle? Not sure I understand.... In any case, what Jill says - look after your health! And maybe beeing unable to workout as much will teach you to have a better control over your meals..! Good luck hun!
You want to lose fat and you don't care about losing muscle. You do realize that muscle is your number one fat burner right. You are going to be on a cutting diet but you do realize that cutting is another reason women stop their cycles.
None of this even adds up right Sara. Who is telling you this bunch of lies?
My doctor told me to reduce my weight lifting, my aunt (who is also a doctor) is telling me to stop weight lifting.. Hopefuly after I get my period.. I will be calling my aunt telling her that I was still weight lifting and got my period back.. If I get it before the 30 days, I will go back to cardio immediatly! I love cycling! and I miss it already

The only time I ever stopped my period is when I was a teen and doing cardio everyday and eating less. But I do know my friend took ortho evra (sp?) and got her period twice a month for five months. Maybe you just need to switch pills or come off it entirely?? |
... I will make it up with the Turkey and Green veggies tomorrow
this diet is not given by my doctor
I did enjoy a nice meal with family (Lots Turkey and ~ 1/4 Cup Basmati Rice or maybe even less than that)

But seriously, you just make sure you do the right thing with eating, and even if that stuff makes you put on weight you know it's an "external" factor, and the moment you get off it, you should be OK since your eating habits are good.

You know deep down, that's the only way hun.

The birth control will still raise estrogen and make you have your period. Exercise does NOT affect that at all unless you are extremely low bf%

I just cant wait to finish using it for this month
What medicine are you taking?

That's strange, I've never heard of that before. Your increased appetite can definately have to do with the patch. When I started birth control when I was 15 I gained some weight. Then when I got off it last year I also gained weight, it was just a lot of un-balanced hormones. I don't ever want hormonal birth control again, it's not worth it to me
Today's workout looks great |

I don't want to continue helping someone that doesn't want to take my advice or alters the diet given to her. She likes to kill her diet by dropping carbs because she thinks she will get better results. I care about Sara but I could not continue.

You binge, then you cut your food back too low, then you binge because your body is starving and then you cut your food too low etc...etc... etc... Each time you do this you are probably gaining more and more fat and you are putting yourself in a worse condition every time. It's so fucking stupid and myself and others have tried to tell you this. The answer is to start with a well balanced healthy diet and having this healthy diet will automatically make you lose the fat you gained and you won't binge becuase you have provided your body with the proper nutrients.
So with the way you do it you will end up fatter each time. But hey, what do I know? |

. This is something you need to address, sara. why is your self-esteem based so utterly on being 'lean'? I fear you're setting yourself up for another cycle of starve and binge. deep down, you know that too. it's not a responsible way to treat your body.
