This. All of this. I've been on both ends of the spectrum (underweight, not eating enough, working out all the time.... To binge eating, no energy, no exercise). I have never been "overweight" by medical terms, but I have never been happy with my body. I really struggle with this. Right now I am trying to lose 10lbs.…

There was definitely a lifestyle change with a change in job and household. I have a very inactive desk job when I used to have a very high energy and active job that allowed me to frequently travel, so eating was more like refueling and was never something I had to plan or provide. Now I do most of the shopping/ meal…

Definitely binging. I'm trying to drink more water, which has helped a little, but I am still just eating so. Much. Unnecessarily. Also, I am not the best with logging because I have a history of being very unhealthy with it. Though it has been several years and I think this round would go better.

By aides I meant support, not drugs or supplements. Oops. :P. Thank you for the help! In the past, people have told me that my goals are unrealistic. I guess I don't really understand the science behind it.

Starting small is the best way to go. And that doesn't mean immediately depriving yourself of everything and hitting the gym mercilessly.... Start off by trying to drink at least 1 gallon of water a day. This will curb cravings and get your body on a better rhythm. (As well as pushing out water weight, and generally making…

I am so there with you, girl.

Week 1: 1 mile run/9.5 minutes.... 1 mile sprint/7minutes 27 seconds/ 1 mile walk/run (about 12 minutes)/ 4 mile walk/60 minutes. These were done at different times throughout the day. It was my first time running and I was very surprised by my performance. I hate running. I was also VERY nauseous afterwards.

Oh! Thank you for the clarification.

It explains SO MUCH!

Thank you all so much!

The packages lie?!?!

Congrats!!!!

Haha. It was a really small sweet potato.

Thank you so much! I've gotten so much gold from this forum. I really appreciate it!

Thank you! I am trying to change body composition. If I find that I reach my BF goal, but the scale says I am 137 or something, I would be happy with that. My goals are definitely to drop fat and build muscle, and the numbers are an estimation. Maybe you're right and the goal is numerically unrealistic.

I started in 2012 when I was underweight and not eating enough. Now I am10lbs heavier than I want to be and looking for a heather lifestyle and to change my body composition so I can have lower body fat and more lean muscle. I am creating a heather relationship with food. 5'10" CW:143 GW:130-135

Hi ladies, i'm a little taller ( 5'10,) but also trying to lose the final 10 to reach my goal of 130. Junk food (sweets, soul food, etc) are my weaknesses especially while visiting my family in the south. I am 23 but feel like I don't have the body to show for it. I am ready to shed fat and show the muscle underneath! My…

This is PERFECT For me! I'm going to join the group now, but in case I don't find it: 5'10'' Current weight: 140 goal Weight: 130-135

Thanks coffeegirl. It's so nice to know there is someone who understands :)

Thank you so much. :) he's shown me some lifts and really helped my form, but he hasn't really set up a workout routine. I get the feeling that he is holding back so I have to see him more, and thus, pay him more... He always promises a weekly routine print out formulated especially for me "next time". Or he's just highly…

Thanks! This really helps. Lately I have been eating a bit more than recommended (I just returned from vacation, so about 2,000 calories) but I often felt too full and sluggish... But, on that same note, I also didn't work out much. I started gaining weight a few days ago (about 3 lbs). I am trying to refocus my workouts…

Let's do it!

Thank you all so much! Honkytonks85 answered more what I was looking for. I guess I didn't understand how a sweet potato could be around 50 calories, but a banana is 100! Thanks for the breakdown. Cybertone, usually I do a google search for similar foods or ingredients in whatever food I've eaten out. Recipes and such and…
