meganepreston: my bedtime routine looks like this: at 8 (I'm a teacher, don't judge me) I take my vitamins and pre-log my food plan for the next day; 8:10 is referred to as "Beer-thirty" (it used to be 8:30, but we are so exhausted, now we do it at 8:10) so we have a beer and eat pretzels/gf pretzels while we watch our…

Anyone can add me--very active!

Feel free to add me!

Feel free to add me!

Feel free to add me!

I have been on here for awhile and have lost 40+ lbs., but am always looking for supportive friends. Feel free to add me!

Me:15 Binge:2

I'm 5'1.5"--I am committed to a healthy lifestyle for good, after years of binge eating and unhealthy habits. I am always looking for more, supportive friends. Feel free to add me if you like!

I am 5'2" and have lost about 56 lbs so far (not all on MFP); about 48 more to go to hit my first goal. Feel free to add me!

Daily, nekkid, after RR use. I tend to binge eat and my mind plays tricks on me. If I don't weigh every day and log my food the night before I am likely to discover I have gotten off track without realizing it. Is this for everyone? Do I wish I could eat whatever whenever and be skinny? Sure. But I have accepted that is…

Love MFP support! I need the positivity and comments to help me through the day! I have gotten great ideas, too! Feel free to add me!

Feel free to add me! My MFP buddy list is full of people who haven't logged in for months. Read my About Me (I know, only about 10 of us MFPer's have even filled it out) to see how I cope with daily life and trying to stay fit and healthy. I try to be positive and uplifting and can use the support of others. I'm no whiner,…

High school English teacher here...married to a teacher also! Feel free to add me. Also, read my "About Me" on my page to see what I try to do to meet the challenges of school life and healthy lifestyle. For me, every day is a struggle. So being really organized and doing what works for me is really important.

Hope you are still doing well. I am starting back into juicing tomorrow after taking a break from MFP for awhile.

There is a lot of very misleading information here. If you use a high quality juicer and juice only the freshest, organic vegetables and fruits, juicing is extremely good for you. The idea behind juicing rather than whole food is that it allows you to consume the nutrients from many more fruits/veggies than you could eat…

Does your friendship with this person truly outweigh this issue? I had a friend I had been hanging onto since high school even though she made no effort at all to maintain the friendship. One day I decided not to call her and see how long it took to call me. That was about 12 years ago and I haven't heard from her since.…

Me: 0 Binge:1 Days I did not log it all: 0 Just joined this group yesterday after over a year on MFP, but I am glad I did! I didn't have such a great night last night, but I did log everything (even if it wasn't until this morning). I pre-logged my full day's worth of food, including my standby smoothie I had gotten away…

Never heard of Topamax for BED. Have taken Topamax for years for migraine prevention with limited success for that, not binge prevention. It is supposed to decrease appetite, thereby supporting weight loss. However, binge eaters don't binge because they are hungry...

The thing that helps me the most is that I make up our dinner meal plan (for the family) ahead of time, pull together the recipes, make the ingredient list, shop on the weekend, and then I have the items to prep the morning of or night before while other things are cooking. I also will sometimes use my Vitamix to make a…

I do beans or other legumes (black-eyed peas/lentil soup) in a slow-cooker and then freeze in pint jars to take for my lunches (2 servings). I also love a 1/2 avocado filled with red-pepper or garlic hummus, topped with chopped veggies. Very fast to prep ahead of time and then keep in fridge for a few days in eat several…

I also do smoothies about 5 days per week. I start with 1-2 cups of cold decaf iced tea and then add in: lemon, grapefruit seed oil (look it up--it's amazing!), a small amount of Sunwarrior Vanilla protein powder, chlorella or wheatgrass powder, a probiotic capsule (open contents/toss capsule), a handful of greens…

I also LOVE spicy guacamole toast (with or without scrambled egg) or in a wrap (I use gluten-free out of necessity). When I make guacamole, I use lots of red onion and garlic, so it isn't so high in fat.

I use this recipe (stolen from http://www.familyfreshcooking.com/2012/01/16/blueberry-coconut-baked-steel-cut-oatmeal-recipe/, then modified) to make a moist baked Blueberry Oatmeal Casserole type dish. Go to the original website to get directions. I had to modify because I need a smaller portion and because of nut…

1. Prelog the night before. 2. I get up super-early to prepare my morning smoothies, load the slow-cooker/prep dinner so when we get home from school we aren't grabbing and snatching anything we can find. Then I get my exercise finished early. If I don't exercise before the day starts, life tends to get in the way! 3.…

Happy to be friends with anyone who needs support; just send me a request with a short message. I don't care what you call it! The only support I have in my life for my healthy lifestyle comes from my MFPals. I welcome you no matter how you are approaching your weight loss or how much you are struggling!

kirstinlee--you are my hero!

I don't have an avatar because I am still embarrassed of how I look after 70 lbs. I think my (thin) parents love me more when I am thinner than when I am fat. My biggest fear is that my son will grow up to be fat and unhealthy and that it will be all my fault. My (overweight) husband thinks he is super-supportive, but he…

I like Sunwarrior protein powder: comes in Vanilla, Chocolate, and unflavored. 100 calories per scoop. I an intolerance of peanut, tree nuts, and gluten, so it works great for me.

John Barth You are my hero

I, too, began clearing out old clothes I had been holding onto "for awhile" "just in case." Just in case I wanted those 70 lbs back? Nevertheless, I started posting them on VarageSale to help pay for the Vitamix I just treated myself to. I still have quite a ways to go so it feels great to have something new to help me…
