    I think you got a lot of great tips and have a lot of fine ideas so I won't elaborate on that.

    What I do want you to be careful of is going too far in the opposite direction - yes, I think it's a great idea for you to gain a hint of weight (and you'll probably gain it in the form of fat) but what a lot of people do is go to the other extreme. What you're trying to do is like tuning in a station on the radio - right now you've cranked the dial too far one way and all you're picking up is static, you want to turn the dial just a tiny smidge so you're picking up NPR and NOT so far that you're back at the middle of the dial. The dial is super easy to turn and very easy to go too far, so use a light hand.

    Your body WANTS to get pg and it will shoot out an egg as soon as it thinks a pg is viable.

    Nesquik does not have added vitamins, instant breakfast does.

    Yup, I agree. Tempting but I know not to let it get too out of control, lol!

    I think my addiction to cardio workouts will keep it from getting too out of hand too fast. And I'm going back to eating instinctively which usually maintains my weight pretty steady around 110-113lbs, and 16-17% bodyfat so that's probably a good level to be at.

    The thing is not being allowed to snack keeps me from eating TOO much, since there's only so much one can eat at a sitting and my bad calories always come when I'm snacking out of control.
    Me (38) and DH (38)
