getting frustrated

Ok, On Christmas I started taking Seasonale which made me quite sick for a while but I am finally adapting to it. My problem is that when I was sick I wasn't eating much and naturally wasn't losing much. Now even though I am feeling better I can not seem to get enough calories in, I am not a morning eater at all (makes me sick), I eat at noon at the earliest. Until recently I drank a coffee drink every morning which added to my calories, but I gave that up. I eat every few hours after noon with a big meal around 4-5 and a snack at 7 or so, I keep track of my calories on a site and I am only managing 900-1100. I used to lose 2-3 pounds a week and now I am only losing 1 +. I want to get back to where I was but am not sure how to get more calories in. Plus I am back to my excercise routine which means I need to add some additional calories, so I just don't know what to do. Anyone else have any issues like this?

I am not a breakfast person either. One of the things that helps me is to eat non-breakfast foods, like maybe a piece of turkey breast or a rice/popcorn cake. (I also really like Swedish crispbreads which are typically packed with fiber and are low in calories. I either put a little peanut butter or low fat cream cheese on them.) Another trick I have found works is to have 1/2 a can of Slimfast. That gets some calories in and it's a lot easier for me to drink something than to eat when I have that icky feeling. Good luck, Annie
P.S. What's Seasonale?
Hmmmmm. I am wondering if you discussed with the family doc or the gyno the fact that you were in the process of loosing weight? I wanted to be put on b.c. pills and was told no because that hinders the exercise and my eating plans. I too wanted to be on seasonale. I have heard some good things bout Loestrin b.c perhaps that would work better for you and you wouldn't be feeling so ill!
Good Luck

The side effects of BCP were sooooo bad for me that I couldn't take them...which is why I now have 2 kiddos who are only 17 1/2 months apart :)
The good thing was (For me it was a good thing....it's not the best situation for everyone) that when I had ds I had an emergency c section and I didn't stop bleeding...so they had to do a hysterectomy. I was never sooooooo excited...I don't have to worry about all that jazz anymore :) Of course the year and a half afterwards was a bit hectic trying to get hormone doses right, but I'd do it all over in a minute!!!

I don't get my period for 3\4 months. My periods are over the place. I love to have them monthly though.
