Yes, you're not alone as there have been several posts about this since the 4th or thereabouts. Fitbit is still working on the issue, and might have a fix, but since the backlog is so great now it's taking a long time to resolve everyone's issues. I've been having the same problem as you, Riffels06. Very frustrating.…

Hugs here from VA, Elphie; I'm so sorry for your loss. <3

Just had to share on this last day of May! I worked really hard this month to make my goal to be under 200 and I've just squeaked under today at 198.8:) I know the accountability of this monthly challenge, along with my MFP friend's support has helped me reach that goal. Thank you and onwards to another month of…

Congratulations; you're an inspiration in commitment. Way to go!

You did, I got it and bingo, we're friends:)

Hi, Linda; I'm Kristen and I live nowhere near you but I've friends in the Bebington area of the Wirral - I think that's not too far from you, yes? I live in Norfolk, VA but would love to be MFP friends with you:) xo

Not sure I have any advice for you; as others have said, finding what works for *you* is so individual, but I assuredly can relate to several things you wrote. Yes, for me, binge eating is fun! All the plans I make eating high-calorie, tasty foods. And so much easier that plotting out future meals as I just wing it and eat…

Here's hoping joining this May group will help keep me accountable and off the binge-wagon! SW: 289 CW: 204 GW: 150 Goal weight for May is to get under 200 and stay there, darnit! I tend to relax in a big (overeating, unhealthy eating) way once I reach any goal, so with your help, I plan to keep progressing towards the…

Off the top of my head here, but I'm thinking it might not be a bad idea to get a second opinion, especially since this is such a big change for you, understandably.

This is a biggie for me: learning to incorporate former binge foods into my healthier eating plan without all the bells and whistles going off in my head! Yesterday I made a lemon loaf, except I split the recipe into two loaves. I froze one for a friend (honest!) and kept the other for me to dole out one slice a day as a…

"I don’t like the way I’m going to have to restrict for the next couple of weeks to avoid consistently gaining from these episodes, but at the same time binge eating seems to be giving me something I can’t get any other way." What you said, ceiswyn. I've been a binge eater for 20+ years and I do it to comfort, to…

I was trying on some fancy (for me) black pants for a presentation I was prepping for and I had two lengths in the same pant to choose from - one was just shorter than the other. The long was too big in every which way so I turned to the dreaded shorter one. In the past, because of my ample gut, the short pant became way…

55 year old here from VA! I've lost 100 lbs from my heaviest but that's taken about 18 years due to massive fluctuations. Binge eating doesn't help;) I've got about 50-70lbs to go. After a rough couple of weeks, I'm back to healthier eating and exercise. Sometimes it's "one minute at a time" vs "one day at a time." I'm…

I eat around that amount and I agree with Annie - it's been trial and error for me to find foods/recipes to keep me interested and motivated. One rule I have that has consistently worked is to not deny any specific foods, even if they've been triggers to bingeing in the past. I remind myself that moderation, not starvation…

I find myself in your nighttime snacking shoes quite often, and like other posters say, we need to be prepared! First off, as I've often done and learned from, do not eat too few calories during your day!! Second, try to up your protein amount; I found that satisfies me often. Finally, I'll bring a hot cup of sweet & spicy…

Goal weight is 130; I'm around 200 now, down from my highest of 303 ten years ago. 70lbs to go. I have to fight discouragement daily as some times 70lbs might as well be 700! Keep up the good fight, all.

I'm a 15-year (or more) binge eater so can empathize. I can recommend a book called "Brain Over Binge" (by Kathryn Hansen) that has helped me tremendously. I'm almost 3 months now without a single binge meal and even the urges have dropped off significantly. Typically I'd binge several times a week, but reading Kathryn's…
