Hello, My name is Lacy. I have BED. My weight loss journey started as a super healthy journey. I gained 70lbs while pregnant with my son. Im only 5" tall so that is a lot of weigh for someone my height. I lost 20lbs pretty quickly with the birth and breast feeding. I started doing hot vinyasa yoga and I started losing…

anyone who is here for motivation please feel free to add me as I friend. God knows I need good people in my life!

Lets do this LCHF thing!!

Nice!

Love your pic.. I am new to low carb also. I do miss tortillas but Im getting over it. Would love to be your friend .. Motivation is great!

It was fine. I just kind of felt a little lazy. I did get a yoga class in and some light elliptical work. Just trying to tone it down a bit. Saturday my eating pattern was great. Sunday not so great.

ITs not OCD Ive been told that by more than one professional. And if something is injuring me I wont do it. But thanks for the support I appreciate it. Ive already emailed my Dr. about the situation. And I will go from here.. THanks again!

This is exactly how I feel about the situation. I actually did pretty good this weekend on cutting out my sunday spin class. Thank you for the support!

Thanks. Ps.. I don't sit in the sauna to lose water weight.. I do it because its relaxing and helps my muscles relax after a hard work out.. But regardless I will try and post my progress.. Thanks for the support.

Ive had pretty much the same exercise routine for about a year and I don't track all he cals I eat usually. No matter what I eat I have the same weekly routine. And Im not tracking my cals enough to even know if I am working them all off. But I will be honest with my Dr.

Possibly .. Itching I can benefit from doing a little less cardio to try and control my appetite

Super funny lol

Wow you look amazing for your age. I am in Folsom Ca .. Just a hop skip and a jump away. I added you as a friend. Im sure you will start loosing weight fast.

I started this discussion with the topic "I am exercising too much" and the topic should have been I over eat and blame it on over exercise. My conclusion is to find balance with it all. This is something that Yoga has taught me that I need in my life.

Thank you everyone for all of your comments and help. I decided to email my doctor and consult with her about B.E.D or Compulsive Over eating. I am eating way more calories then I need. I think I subconsciously rationalize over eating because I work out so much. I do work out a lot nearly everyday and that may be what is…

Its a lot like bikram as far as the heat but its a face paced cardio "flow" version. There are many more poses also and its constant movement. I thought the same thing about yoga until I took a vinyasa class. its really no joke.

Ive heard that from a few people .. But Im bulky enough.. I am super strong .. I actually want to cut back on my muscle mass a little.

That's some great advice. Thank you.. I actually did pretty decent today and only did 40 minutes of cardio and too a Vinyasa class. Im supposed to go to the gym, spin and yoga tomorrow.. But I think I will just try to repeat what I did today. Maybe start with taking the weekends slow. Thanks for the reply :)

Awesome.. I do VInyasa Power Yoga.. I know its Yoga but its in 100 degree room and is not at all easy. I usually burn about 400+ calories per class and my heart rate is usually around 140 bpm. I'm just saying don't underestimate certain types of Yoga lol.

Also I own my own business. I have ample time to spend at the gym if I want to and with my family.. All my friends are gym go-ers and I enjoy being there.

If I go off track I totally binge at the end of the day to be honest. I rarely finish my diary because of this. I don't want to look at it in disappointment.

I only wear the heart rate monitor when I work out.. not all day..

I usually eat about 1500 calories when I actually finish my food log for the day.. But I usually don't finish my food log because sometime during the day I eat something I think is bad and I kind of give up for the day. I have worked with a dietician and honeslty I think its just something mental I need to work out for…

I do agree I need to take a break. As far as my friends and family go, they are not affected. I own my own company and my husband and I work from home. I go to the gym after I cook breakfast and make lunch for son and drop my son off at school. I am with friends the whole time I'm at the gym. The gym is a very social thing…

I don't work off every calorie I eat. But I do have a somewhat unhealthy view of food. I kind of unrealistically deprive myself during the day ( I do eat but maybe not as much as I should during the day) and then overdue it completely at night. Once I give it to temptation my will power is out the door. I just have to find…

WOW, 1700 is a lot of calories I am 5'1" tall and 125lbs (id like to be 118 or less but I started this journey at 172 so I am still happy with my progress) and even when I work out 3 hours a day I usually only hit 1300 calories max. I wear a "polar" heart rate monitor and I track all my cals, my typical day burn is about…

tavistocktoad - you are exactly right. it is what I am eating. I eat great 3/4 of the day and then I will eat something that isn't on my diet , and then its all out the door from then on for the day. one thing that really sucks is cooking for a family and not eating what I cook. I recently kicked a bad habit of what I call…

azulvioleta6 - I truly agree with everything you have said. And I actually have worked directly with a dietician. But I think I need to find a sports nutritionist because unless one understand how people like us workout they cant really understand our nutritional needs. The advice I was getting from a dietician from…

Robertus I have talked to someone about OCD tendencies and they have ruled them out. I've been told by professionals that I'm just really head strong about everything I do be it good or bad. I am definitely not offended and I have actually tried that myself.
