[Jill]

What medication are you on sara???/ What is it called? Is it supposed to make you actually gain weight or just retain water?

Im not sure if the weight Im gaining is water or weight that hard to lose

 

[Jill]

[Jill]

Why didnt they put you on a low dosage pill???

BTW-have you considered a small carb meal every day??? You dont want to set yourself up for a potential binge

 

[sara]

I need to add some carbs into my meals.. you right! but I feel so bloated without even having any carbs now
I dont want the pills.. I prefered the patch.. I feel the higher the dosage the faster it comes and get it over with

 

[Jill]

How long will you be on the patch for, till you get your period???

How about just 1/3C of oats with brecky???? I feel soooooo bloated and gross today from the pizza yesterday, I can relate

first 3 weeks I have to have it on and the 4'th week no patch.. then it supposed to come on the 4'th week... she wants me to do this 3-4 months
But if I get it the first month.. I don't I will go back to it the next month

 

[Jill]

LOTS Chicken!!!

Like how much??

 

[sara]

well, I had my 3 oz. measured then took some more from the chicken mom cooked
and grabbed few bites of turkey

 

[sara]

Did shoulders yesturday morning, had the same energy and strength
I wish I can use the remaining energy for cardio

 

[sara]

You guys think if I eat 1200 calories a day (balanced carbs, fat and protein) for now since Im not working out alot? and gaining weight easily from the medicine?

 

[sara]

Im stuck with this medicine for 1 month.. and after that, I don't want to use it anymore

 

[sara]

I got so stressed out today.. restricting carbs for 5 days and my weight is increasing
I ended up cheating again.. which I know I gained more and more weight!!!!! this gotta stop!! I need help with a plan for the next 24 days

 

[dalila]

Sara, please try to deal with your issues with food and weight hun. As you can see your restricted diet backfired, your body was prolly in a state of shock, just as Jodi said it would happen. try to go back to your normal diet, and don't desire quick results. You know deep down, that's the only way hun.

 

[sara]

dalila, thats what I want to do now, is go back to my normal diet.. its so hard though especially the medince Im on now makes me gain weight without even eating, but I know I can do it

 

[dalila]

that's good!! I mean about you going back to your normal diet, not abt the stupid medicine making you put on weight! 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.

 

[sara]

I hope as soon as I get off the medicine all the weight would come off fast.. I hope going back to cardio would decrease the weight increasing

 

[dalila]

I am sure it will, just don't panick meanwhile ok?

 

[sara]

Thats my problem.. panicking
woke up this morning, panicking because I gained more weight and I was following a clean low diet

 

[Jodi]

I've been trying to tell her that!

Sara, I just got your PM. Go back to the diet you were on with the same macros and cals. It is not restricting and you will lose the weight but don't expect overnight results.

 

[sara]

I will definitly go back tomorrow!!!
You think adding the cardio back is going to help me lose the weight Im gaining from the medicine?

 

[Jodi]

yes

 

[sara]

Not letting the medicine to work the way its supposed to work
My plan for now is to do cardio: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday for 40 Minutes... Im for it!! only one thing might stop me, is if I start to get nauseated and sick from the medicine again.. I can handle the stomach cramps, if I get any

 

[Jodi]

Huh 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%
