Hey guys! I have the same problem - My main goal right now is gaining some weight. I brought it up the other day on the boards and Heather said to see if my health food store sold AMAZAKE drinks. She said they are totally safe and you can drink as many of them in a day that you want. They have about 400 calories so I cant wait to start drinking them! I bought 2 the other night and Im on my way to go get some different flavors today. Anyways maybe this can help - they are usually by the yogurts and all that in the health food stores so take a look!

How To Calculate Your Calorie Needs
Very Light Exercise
Multiply your weight in pounds by 12
Light Exercise
Multiply your weight in pounds by 13
Moderate Exercise
Multiply your weight in pounds by 14
Moderate-Heavy Exercise
Multiply your weight in pounds by 15
Heavy Exercise
Multiply your weight in pounds by 16
Example
Alice weighs 140 pounds. She is very physically active.
Her calorie needs are 140 x 16 = 2240 calories/day
Note: All values are approximate. For a more precise definition of calorie needs, please consult the Harris Benedict Equation, which gives you a more exact Basal Energy Expenditure Level. To read more about the Harris-Benedict Formula, click: Calorie Needs for Women
TAKEN FROM Calorie Needs for Women
Actually that isn't accurate at all, if I went by that I would lose weight and end up underweight! I'd say the average woman needs approx. 1800 calories a day, more if you exercise a lot.

Hey Lyndeigh,

Now all i have to think about is prom
Me too. Our senior ball (i don't know why they don't just call it prom  ) is in the beginning of May and I"m kinda nervous about that too!  I'm really thankful I've found someone else in my boat! You're so helpful I hope your prom goes well! Hopefully there will be some safe food choices (altho...if it were my school...i think that wouldn't be likely ) but if not I guess you'll just have to break out your own snack. I'm kinda thinkin through this one, myself!!! Good luck!

Tara, no way, my prom is in the beginning of may too! lol. which is really weird considering youre in cali and im all the way across the country in New York! I dont know about your school, but mine is junk food city. For instance, we have the senior trip coming up (which im not going on) and they (the school) provides for the meals there. Well, they tell ya ahead of time: The first day, they give you pizza, soda and chips! Then, during the senior trip, they expect you to eat at mcdonalds and other fast food joints !! I am just happy that im not going on that trip. This year, proms on a this huge boat! Which means if i make any wrong choices on dinner, i'll have no wear to go, but to jump off deck!! haha. Well, last year, they gave people a choice between chicken and spaghetti- im not sure whats the options this year. Hmm...
let me know how youre prom turns out, and i'll let you know how mine does

Yep..mine too. Like soda, pizza,and cookies and candy bars are like big staples at my school. My tummy hurts thinkin about it. Plus, they have nachos but the chips are doritos, which already have all sorts of chemicals and flavors on 'em! Oh...prom on a boat. That sounds fun...but yeah...it's either the boat or overboard..lol. I missed our senior boat cruise cause I was sick  Right now I'm on "home medical instruction" cause ...it's a long story but basically I've been really ugggh icky feeling since like a little b4 my bday, which was in october. But i've been on home schooling since beginning of feb. after I was in the hospital. But yeah, I'm hoping I'll gain strength along with weight so that prom will not be too hectic. Anyhow, I wish you luck on the boat! Yeah that's weird how our proms are around the same time. Mine's may eighth. It's gonna be in San Francisco. So yeah. You don't know how thankful I am for your support and stuff! Well..talk to you later! Let me know how you're feeling!

Right now I'm on spring break. Yeah my home schooling is fine..a social deprivation, but fine cause i gotta work on my own pace. The home schooling teacher only comes once a week. I just have to finish a set amount of work. I don't have to email you guys in the day I just like to talk to people who understand I'm kinda sorry I don'[t feel well enough to go to school right now, too but I'll get better And my friends visit me. Thanks for the support. I probably should've explained that to everyone so you don't think I'm weird.
