Back from a "no-dieting/fitness" abyss! Want to start a new
So I started on this site about a month ago, then a whole bunch of stuff came up and I kinda stopped. I've been trying to lose weight all summer, I started at 160 (in May) and am now at 152! I just can't seem to make it past that 150 mark. Which is what really got me down and why I stopped everything. I want to get down to…

I normally live off of mashed potatoes!! I cant do it this time. I've lost 6 lbs in the last couple weeks. I cant put it back on just…

I MUST stop overeating!
I know that my biggest downfall is overeating. I don't know what it is, but if there is food near by sometimes I just can't help eating it even if I'm totally full, and I end up feeling like crap and can't move until I'm totally digested, like I feel now :frown: I'm part of the Biggest Loser challenge on this website, and…

So I woke up this morning excited to get moving. I asked my husband whether he would rather do my biggest loser dvd or do a 5k walk. He picked the walk.

only eating when you are hungry
I have a huge problem of eating when I am not hungry and also emotional eating. Does anyone have any advice on how to transition to knowing when you are really hungry and not just craving. I know what really really hungry feels like, but day to day normal hunger (does that make sense?)

It has happened!! :)
I had a realization this morning. Food is not my focus and not my priority anymore. Yes, I do plan it out and figure out what I am going to have. I plan recipes, etc. But, I don't constantly think about food or my next meal like I used to. I sometimes even forget to eat or get wrapped up in something else and will grab…

WHAT TRIGGERS YOUR BINGES?
If we can see them coming, or know specifically what those triggers are, perhaps we can avoid them. Or is this wishful thinking. So far, the only binges I have had since April 16th are seeing CAKE and EATING it. If I'm not around cake, I seem to do fine. Oh yeah, potato chips..... If I start, I can't stop..... guess I…
