Hello everyone, I’m Lydia 23 years old nursery assistant. I’ve used MFP before when I was in school and it worked well. So I’m back here now after being in uni and gaining 4 st, I’m actually struggling with binge eating right now and I need the support and motivation not to. So I hope this July challenge will keep me on track!
I’ve made going to the gym a part of my life for the past 3 months and I’ve been fairly good been going around 3 times a week when I can. I actually feel guilty when I don’t go on my set days.
My eating is what’s letting me down now. So here’s to July, let’s make it count.3 -

Tomorrow will be my day off since we are having a cookout! It is normally a rest day but I'm going to wake up a bit early and get a walk in. I'll be doing my best to stay mindful but no tracking tomorrow!2 -

Had a high calorie lunch today, was intentional but I worked out hard and made better choices throughout the day and lots of water. Weigh in is in the morning for me. Even if the scale is not kind, I've had a very successful week. I'm fully motivated and inspired again and I feel so happy.0 -
Hi there, everyone, I'm Tara and this is my second month to be a Gutbuster.
I'm a cyclical dieter. I've lost and gained 70lbs three times in my life, each time bouncing back to a higher weight. This time I'm determined to make changes to how I eat, not what I eat.
I have a difficult relationship with food. I've always been the ectomorph in a family of endomorphs, and even as a child I knew I was the fat one and the odd one out. (That's not what pictures show, but it's how I felt). Even when I'm at normal BMI I feel like the fat girl in the room.
I have five kids aged from 19 to 1-year-old twins, and I've always cooked healthy meals. Where I fall down is snacks, particularly ones that combine fats and sugars. I'm fighting that at the moment with a combination of not keeping snacks in the house (sorry kids) and a mindset that they're not for me. I'm not able to stick to small nibbles -- a half slice of birthday cake becomes a full birthday cake, for example, and then I'm off the wagon for a couple of weeks.
I'm making good progress this time (like I always do), but I feel the rest of the iceburg lurking under the water. Unless I get my head right I know that I'll hit the wrong roadblock and bounce my way right back up again.1 -

Week 1 Weigh-In
Monday July 2
Previous Weight: 191.8
Current Weight: 190.2
Road trip started last Wednesday -- 1200+ miles in two days, and now we're here for the next 3.5 weeks. I got the fitbit scale working yesterday, and I'm astonished by the loss. I'd been mindful of eating and continued exercising, but I wasn't tracking calories just because of the difficulty measuring and finding accurate calorie data for some restaurants.
But... I will say that I thought of all the weeks to undertake that drive, this was a better one. I've been tracking my 3-week TDEE (@craigo3154 wrote out the instructions back in May - thank you!) and I had previously seen that my TDEE seems to increase hugely periodically, and I predicted I was reaching that phase again. I've found some more information about this effect here on MFP: Women - menstrual cycle, weight and fitness matters
