Just for today...I'm drinking loads of water and forcing myself to eat nutritious foods rather than the crap I've been eating since Saturday. JFT, I am going to not stress internally about the lack of money in my bank account. It could be much worse for me and my family and I'm grateful that it is not.

I am not skilled in the kitchen and hate feeling stupid when it comes to cooking. I'm just not a natural. But when I do get something right, I love it. I like it when I make my partner happy and family all likes the meal.

I use the regular and the chocolate peanut powder. Both are great. I haven't ventured further than that.

Like effing chicken.

Hahaha. Yes, that would be frustrating!

I'm a little under 5'8" and 157 right now. I would shove out on a beach in a bathing suit if it was hot enough. You are already pretty darn lean and it might come down to self love and acceptance rather than being a certain size for the beach. Just my opinion here.

I go up 2-3 pounds as the the goes on and lose it over night most nights. Slight fluctuation usually tending downward as I'm in a deficit currently. I use a scale in the morning every day at home.

I hate responding "well" to people who ask me how I am doing. It has been ingrained that it is the appropriate, well educated response that I feel a little stupid saying "good". It's annoying because saying well doesn't feel right coming out of my mouth! I kind of hate it!

Pretty much the only thing I have to say here is...on occasion having a super low net isn't going to hurt you. If it's a habit, you may have an issue.

I agree with this complete. You are beautiful now and will be then, no matter what weight-loss you achieve.

From what I used to see in F21, my initial thought is that it would turn see-through in a heartbeat. I remember their clothes would be really cute but not last long at all. I am pleased to hear the reviews about VS workout gear. I've seen it but didn't know if it was good quality.

I feel like I'm losing my mind a little. Falling back into eating disorder waters. It makes it hard for me to eat a healthy enough number of calories and the waiting until noon feels like "restricting" food in a more self punishing way. I'm prone to this kind of issue and am having a flare up so to speak. I dropped 7…

Try your best and see where you get!

This was good for me to read. I'm in the healthy weight range but have to work daily to make choices that will help me not gain. Thanks for posting.

First of all, unless you are a minor, nobody else can force you into therapy. People may be used to seeing you one way and don't know how to deal with you being something else. If you are in deed being good to yourself and not being harmful, your friends should back off. I agree that a "My doctor is not concerned out my…

I want to add that IF is not a "miracle diet" and I won't credit my weight loss on anything other than eating at a deficit. IF just helps me stay close to my goal calories for the day and not feel super hungry when I sleep at night. I cannot sleep if my stomach is grumbling.

I thought I was closer to 5'8" until I was measured at the doctors office recently....5'7.32"....o.O...Anyway, I'm 160 right now and still feel the need to lose ten or more pounds. I have muscles and a nice layer of fat on top that I'd like to say goodbye to. I've been 145 and did not look too small at all. Everybody is…

I'm on day 5 of IF and dropped 4.2 pounds right off the bat. I don't think it's for everyone, but for me it's working just fine. It's making it easier for me to stay within a healthy calorie range and not go way over. I injured my back recently so my hunger levels are down... When I'm lifting weights and doing cardio my…

^i'm not sure why my smiley face turned out so creepy. Was intended as a cheerful grin!

Agreed- AA is free! All you have to do is show up and grow from there. :D I sent you a friend request. I'm 5'8" and need to lose about the same amount of weight. Logging can become an obsession, but there are worse things to be obsessed about. At least you are obsessed with becoming a healthier person.

I went to treatment for bulimia a few years back and weighed 30 pounds lighter than I am today. I remember there were not only women who were skeletal being in that program but a few overweight women, too! I remember that surprising me. They had struggled with anorexia and then the polar opposite, binge eating. I would…

You could start the walk with your friend and at some point let her know "Okay, now i'm going to run for a bit! See you at the office!" I run on occasion during my lunch break with a friend. She is much faster than me and usually after we chat for a few minutes while running, I'll say "Okay! I can't keep your pace anymore!…

Amen.

This is so sad. I know there are plenty of people on this site who choose to cheat on their spouses. I've seen photos of the spouses and trust me, people aren't cheating because they have unattractive partners. They are lacking something from their marriage and or seeking attention to make themselves feel better. It's not…

I'm 5'8" and 160 currently. Profile pic is current.

Weight loss products are all a bunch of crap. Including these teas! Don't fall for it. Eat at a deficit, work out if you need to and keep it up. It takes time, not an over night "detox" process.

I wash/ condition my hair almost every day. Sometimes let an extra day slip in there.
