30 Days Count Down

sara · 11-23-2004, 03:25 PM

Starting tomorrow, Actually counting today. Im going to try my best to avoid the gym for 3-4 weeks (doctor recommend) and use Ortho Evra Patch to see if I can get my monthly cycle back..
This issue been stressing me so much for the past year or so and making me cheat and cheat..and for the past month it got even worse

BritChick · 11-23-2004, 04:26 PM

Good luck.

M.J.H. · 11-23-2004, 05:26 PM

Good luck!

PreMier · 11-23-2004, 07:23 PM

Good luck Sara

sara · 11-23-2004, 07:43 PM

Thanks guys

I will do 2 workouts a week (thats all Im allowed) and Yoga

sara · 11-23-2004, 07:46 PM

I will start posting my meals again tomorrow..
Im not aiming to build muscles now, just slowly lose the fat I gained for the past month and hopefuly 30 days after my gym restriction I will go back to my main goal of building MUSCLES!

Jill · 11-23-2004, 10:02 PM

Hang in there girlie

Just take care of your body, thats the most important thing.

I hope everything works out for you

Good luck.

sara · 11-23-2004, 10:24 PM

Thanks Jill

I've been thinking about this.. I just cant stop weight lifting
Im still going to workout, but change the plan a little for 1 month ONLY!
Diet??? Cant keep what I've been doing.. its damging my brain and body!

dalila · 11-24-2004, 12:18 AM

hey sara

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!

sara · 11-24-2004, 08:34 AM

dalila- I don't understand how weight lifting is affecting my cycle.. doctors asked me to try it for a while.. since they say when you lift heavy weight your cycle might stop (but I don't even lift heavy)
Im still going to workout but no cardio for a month

sara · 11-24-2004, 09:04 AM

Just want to inform everyone that I will be following a cutting meal plan..
Im not worrying about losing muscles now..Hopefuly, I will start building next year after satisfying family & doctors

**Jodi** · 11-24-2004, 10:09 AM

Sara, you know I care about you and what happens and how you are but I'm sorry this is the biggest pile of bullshit I've heard.

Who the hell is feeding you all this load of crap?

**Jodi** · 11-24-2004, 10:15 AM

I mean come on. WTF are you doing here. The doctor tells you not to lift weights to get your cycle back but you are still going to lift and not do cardio

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?

jstar · 11-24-2004, 10:56 AM

Hi Sara!
GL with your 30 day experiment. Lets hope it works out for the best.
I don't really understand the reasoning behind what your doctor is saying. 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??

sara · 11-24-2004, 04:38 PM

Jodi- I know you care about me

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

Since Im not training alot, no cardio at all, and gained all that fat; thats why I decided to cut

Hi sara, just wanted to say, doctors will be doctors, and I suggest you do lots of research and reading on this yourself... my dad was a doc ( he passed away) and he only told me ever to watch out for my BF %, not to fall too low, if I wanted to avoid the probs with my cycle...

I remember my orthopedic surgeon telling me not to even walk when I had the slipped disc..WTF??? He still can't belive that I started squating 4 months later, and have no pain!! Yay!! They are paranoid sometimes....

sara · 11-25-2004, 11:08 AM

dalila, all the researchs that Im finding is saying to reduce excersise, and if you have low BF to increase it a little.. The BF issue is not true for me.. because even when my BF was high, it was still irregular period

Doctors just follow the book...Im the one who have to try things out on my own
