I have to get an ultrasound next week and I have never went out with anyone ever. The reason is that I don't have a period this month or it tends to come really late
Update: Turns out I don't need to go after all because I just got my period.

Hey everyone, I suppose I should report that I've been lifting weights for two months. I've already progressed to 220 lbs on the leg press machine and 160 on the rotary lat and lower back machines.for sets of 8. I'm still getting used to free weights, though.

I felt so awful that I slept 17 or 18 hours yesterday, and still got a full night's sleep today. I'm over the hump and plan to get some exercise today.
Feeling better. Been bulking. I've gained 1.9 lbs total so far, of which 1.3 was lean body mass, and my 1rm for squat is up from 195 lbs to 215 lbs. Feeling good about myself.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
I eat absolute junk, yet I seem to burn all the calories off it by walking to the train station and back every day for school, on top of walking to the local shopping district to pass time on weekends. Explain this bullshit.

My physiology professor did say that regular exercise gradually increases your metabolic rate. I'm just surprised that just walking half an hour to an hour a day could have this much of an effect over time.
Some people just naturally have high metabolic rates. It is entirely possible that you could loaf all day and still not gain that much weight due to genetic factors.
Does anyone know for how long it is safe to starve, that is, refrain from eating completely? I've heard it can lead to problems with kidneys, and I'd rather not be hospitalized, but it does seem to be the fastest way to lose weight. But I haven't been completely healthy lately. And I'd rather not involve doctors
So, how long is safe? Is 3 days or so ok, and will it lead to visible difference?
Starving yourself for three days is by NO MEANS ok. The longest I've ever starved myself was for 25 hours, and that was for observance of a religious fast day. And it is miserable, and the only fun part is pigging out once it's over. Don't starve yourself unless you have to, and NEVER do something that risks being hospitalized (heck, people who are at risk for being hospitalized if they refrain from eating for 25 hours are told by religious authorities not to observe the fast day).
When you dramatically reduce your calorie intake, you will lose weight. But it can also cause all kinds of health problems, including muscle loss. Further, when you start fasting, your body goes into conservation mode, burning calories more slowly.
Keep in mind that the initial weight lost on a fast is primarily fluid or "water weight," not fat. And when you go back to eating, any lost weight usually gets a return ticket back. Not only do most people regain weight lost on a fast, they tend to add a few extra pounds because a slower metabolism makes it easier to gain weight. Worse, the weight that is regained is likely to be all fat -- lost muscle has to be added back at the gym.
Side effects of fasting include dizziness, headaches, low blood sugar, muscle aches, weakness, and fatigue. Prolonged fasting can lead to anemia, a weakened immune system, liver and kidney problems, and irregular heartbeat. Fasting can also result in vitamin and mineral deficiencies, muscle breakdown, and diarrhea. When you drink laxative concoctions during a fast, there is an increased risk of fluid imbalance and dehydration.
The risks get more complicated and severe the longer you stay on a fast, or if you repeatedly go on fasts.
The Truth About Fasting
The bottom line: Nutrition experts agree that fasting is a potentially dangerous, and not particularly effective, way to lose weight.
Instead of a fast, opt for a healthy eating plan that you can stick with long-term Healthy diets provide a minimum of 1,200 calories and include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean protein, and healthy fats, along with regular physical activity.
If you are not convinced and want to go on a fast, be sure to consult your physician first.
What if I started to feel much more healthy both mentally and physically at the same time I've became less restrictive about eating? No gorging on Big Macs (except once, to prove a point), but eating "healthy" for general meals and having nice things if the opportunity presents and they are interesting. And what if that pattern causes me to gain weight?
By feeling more healthy I mean having more energy, good sleep, no drowsiness, not suffering from mild stomach discomfort as if I am having endless periods (that feeling been nearly constant during the year I was more strict about eating), being in a stable good mood (again, for once. That hadn't happened in a year. The stable good mood, I mean, not good mood in general) and having much more mental alertness.
I can't see what point you would prove by gorging on big macs, but I think it is healthy to treat yourself to some not-so-"clean" food occasionally, to avoid feeling deprived, so long as it fits your basic daily macronutrient needs.

Healthiness is the goal. If you do something and it's non-harmful and making you feel great, then that is the thing you should keep doing.
got results back from bloodwork for TSH levels and despite being on the same dose for three years, the graph with those three years is basically a triangle with points in the low end of normal, extremely abnormally high (22), and now below normal. My PCP consults with an endocrinologist each time I have bloodwork done before she does anything, but it's super frustrating to not know what's going on in one of the big hormone hubs in your body.

Depending on your BMI, regaining some weight is not necessarily unhealthy. The diet you're describing is how people are supposed to eat.
Is exercise supposed to get harder before it gets easier?
I've been following the same exercise plan since September and I think it's actually more tiring now than it was when I started. It's a bit disheartening.

it's probably the sleep, or the diet... i don't do too well on either front
