Feel free to add me <3 I'm working toward recovery from ED behaviour too and trying to find some middle ground of balance to stay healthy. I struggle mostly with binge eating but also (at times) restricting too much. I have quite a bit left to lose to be at a healthy weight, so I'm in it for the long haul. :)

Welcome back! I'm just returning myself after a few years off. Feel free to add me :)

Feel free to add me too. I've just returned after quite the hiatus and looking to lose over 50lbs still, so I'm in it for the long haul. Happy to be a support/motivation :)

Not great but I'm trying to hang in. Could definitely use more friends on here... journey is a bit lonely these days! Feel free to add me if you run across this <3

This is just what I needed today - having a hard time not beating myself into a pulp for what feels like messing everything up (I know in reality that's not the case, but try to convince my emotions of that!) Just for today 3/02: 1. Work on accepting the last 3 days of overindulgence and forgiving myself 2. Drink lots of…

I want to say I'm "recently" single because it is still taking a lot of getting use to - but it was over a month ago. Anyway - it's been hard as hell to stick with this, so it would be great if we could be all be support buddies for each other edit: typo

You look great! I hope I can share a similar success in a year :)

Love it! Thanks for the inspiration :smile:

Beautiful, thank you!

Where does it show your weekly calorie target and progress, out of curiosity?

Vancouver island here, with a diary open to friends.. anyone is free to add :)

bump

It's interesting that you say that because my scale is WW brand and I've had it for 4+ years, and I've always noticed that it seemed to be bringing up a number from memory rather than actually weighing me (eg. with and without clothes) ... but would still be different sometimes. I wonder if this happens with other brands…

Feel free to add me - anyone else from BC, Canada?

I would love to join you! I started (again) a month ago and struggle with mental health problems daily, which can make it hard to stay on track. Feel free to add me as a friend :)

our* not out

I just wanted to add that it helped me a lot to read that others are going through the same things - too depressed to stay up, too anxious to leave the house or try and talk to people, feeling so overwhelmed the last thing I want to care about is my caloric intake. Yet we are all still here fighting for out health. Thank…

I have over 100 lbs to use and persistent mental health problems. Medications have certainly taken their toll on my metabolism and health, but that's another story. What I've found is that when I start counting calories and feeling like I am doing something healthy for myself, other things that help with my health start to…

I can't even count what "time" this is - 4th? 5th? But I've started over again as of a month ago and I've lost almost 20lbs so far. The hardest part is to be happy with the number I see on the scale versus what it was a month ago - and not tearing myself apart for all the weight I've lost so many times before. What got me…

You're not alone, and it's great that you're here and wanting to make a change. When I try to go out, I have the same thoughts and feelings about being too large to sit somewhere or being very aware that I'm much larger than anyone I'm with. Once I started doing something to deal with my weight though, I started feeling…

Count me in - I have over 100 lbs to lose and could use some supportive friends :)

Thank you everyone, it is a relief to hear this is not unheard of. I'm also going to start taking walks and hopefully remind my metabolism that it exists (I am on and off hypothyroid, doctor and I haven't quite figured it out yet).

I know for myself, I've wondered many things. I know hormones fluctuate, people retain water (for many reasons), if your digital scale is all over the place (sometimes I weigh more without my clothes, which makes no sense) that it could need a new battery, that some people don't log accurately, etcetera. I'm used to…

It was such a relief to read this thread - though I am sorry that so many of us feel so ashamed of our bodies. I've never been this heavy (I've been overweight since I was 10 though) and even feel self conscious taking out the recycling these days, let alone seeing people who would have realized I'd gained a lot of weight…

I have over 100 to lose and I've gotten off to a bumpy start. For those who have already lost a good chunk - what has helped you the most?

Wow I could not even comprehend trying to eat only 1200 - I know you said you exercise so you eat more than that- but burning 600 calories a day with exercise? Holy *kitten*. I can barely manage (literally) 4000 steps a day (I got a tracker thingy for XMas) between slightly swollen feet/calves and being extremely out of…

I am so distraught about how much I have to lose that I haven't managed to eat a single thing yet today. I know I'm just setting myself up for failure but I'm afraid once I start to eat that I won't be able to stop. I understand Shaiya about the seroquel - I worked very hard to get off of it and just recently decided to…

Cheers all for the responses. Rahnia - what was your caloric intake goal of each day that you managed to get back down to your regular weight in a year? I've lost over 60 lbs by counting calories, my problem is that I get super strict once I start losing and then suddenly one day it all snaps and in the same amount of time…
