Hello, my goal is to lose 10-15 pounds by no later than May. I have a problem with binge eating. Anyone else have that problem and have advice for me? I really need friends that will help me stick to my goal. Anyone want to join me?

    Hello and welcome. I don't have a problem with binge eating, but I am always up for offering encouragements as well as receive :smile:

    Funny enough my goal is to lose 10 pounds as well. We can do this. I have already lost some. We just need to stay true to our goal and really fight those cravings.

    Feel free to add me to friends.

    Binge eating is a problem, late night chocolate cravings. Sometimes I give in to them but sometimes I can fight it. So far Since December I have lost 1.5 inches on my waist and hips, and only a half inch on my thighs. I try to tell myself my thighs are not losing because of the late night snacking.

    Best advice, keep a piece of clothing hanging on your wall you want to fit in. I also keep my starting pictures in my phone and look at it everyday to remind myself of why I am doing this.

    I am a binge eater an emotional eater. those foods that I know I will binge on I don't keep them in the house. I also try to keep gum handy because sometimes I just need to chew. I may even brush my teeth. I drink flavored water. I also play computer games to keep my mind of eating especially because I need to eat when I am bored. Feel free to add me.

    Hi! Yeah that binge eating is no joke. I recently read this book called Burn the fat feed the muscle by Tom Venuto. The first chapter had me hooked. It had me write down my goals, and I read them everyday. That helps me with the binge eating. Try that! I'm here as support ☺

    Welcome to MFP. Try pre-logging your days to include snacks. This help you not fill deprived and therefore less likely to binge.

    Hi! I struggle with binge eating and giving in to cravings. I keep losing and gaining the same weight and need some motivation to keep me on track. I'd like to lose as much weight as possible each month, as I have at least 75lbs to lose.
    Feel free to add me!
