Any bulimia and/or binge&purge sufferers?
I have this issue for nearly 10 years. In the beginning it was something like a game. When I realized that I can control the purge on my own will, I started eating my favourite foods(my sole companions in this world.) freely. But then after a certain time I think this habit started to control me. Now after all this time, I…

Withdrawals?

How to set activity level
I have selected the lowest activity level because I have a desk job, so I spend a lot of time sitting. However, I am above average in muscle mass and I am very active in terms of exercise. Because I log my workouts, I figured it was best to set my base calories low, but 1340/day is REALLY low. Does anyone have any advise…

Why pay for Weight Watchers Online?!
This free site blows Weight Watchers out of the water. I've already lost weight using the tracking, and it's been a week. I love how: 1.) Literally EVERY brand is on here which makes tracking so easy 2.) It tells you your healthy sugar, sodium levels etc. Amazing feature that weight watchers doesn't offer. 3.) It also…
