Thank you for the tip! I was looking at the kindle versions, but wondered if the hard copies would be better so I can highlight, etc. Good to know!

For me, the key was starting with something I love. I bought a bike. That worked for a while, but deep down, what I really wanted to do was swim. I was nervous and didn't have the confidence to join a gym for access. I didn't have access to a pool year round, so I finally bit the bullet and joined a gym. It was like an…

Agree with this. After I lift, I usually don't have much of an appetite.

Yes, the more violent, the more rigorous the activity. Also, bonus steps if you stumble before you puke.

And I always thought laxatives were the culprit of the leaky gut. ;)

A runny egg over roasted asparagus is one of life's simple pleasures.

I got a kick out of this. It reminded me of the Friends episode where Phoebe tried to show Joey there is such a thing as a selfless good deed.

I don't do cheat meals. But, there are meals I bank calories for like pizza (eaten every Saturday), alcohol and hamburgers/french fries......or anything from this website: http://www.dessertfortwo.com/ That website is my go to for weekend desserts!

I love my TV and could easily list a bajillion shows, but my fave binge shows are below: Downton Abbey (still mourning the finale) Orange Is The New Black (re-watching the prior seasons in anticipation of the 6/9 premiere!) House of Cards Homeland This is Us The Crown Victoria The Handmaid's Tale Getting ready to start…

I second this. Also, OP, I won't give you my specific tips or anything because I believe everyone has to find their own way and what works for them as an individual, which can vary greatly person to person. But, one thing I did find helpful was seeing a therapist. I had gained a significant amount of weight (over 100…

This is pretty much the only way I can do any gym cardio work (besides swimming of course). I like to get outside when I can, but when inside, tv is the only thing that keeps me from wanting to sacrifice myself to the treadmill belt.

IKR!? I just tried Sea Salt Caramel last night. It quickly made my top three. Of all the flavors I have tried, this is my current ranking (I would probably not buy Birthday Cake, Lemon Cake, Chocolate or Chocolate Almond Crunch again): 1. Peanut Butter Cup (4 eva!) 2. Sea Salt Caramel 3. Mint Chip 4. Oatmeal Cookie

Cake. In my world, it is not much different than a donut or muffin.

Yes - my weekly exercise calories come in around 2800 on average. I have MFP set to lose 1 pound a week. For the most part, I don't feel the need to really dip into my exercise cals on average, but this particular weekend is becoming a perfect storm of parties and plans. So, I will have to probably dip into my exercise…
-
Just out of curiosity, per your diary, your MFP goal is actually 1610 per day (not including exercise), so where did you come up with the 1000-1200 calorie goal? Are you trying to add even more of a deficit? If you went through the setup with MFP and entered your stats correctly (height, weight, activity level, etc.), I…

I never weigh during that time. I usually go a little easy with the exercise on my heavier days (1-2 days). I like to use that as a bit of an exercise break since I am usually pretty tired and crampy anyways. I also let myself have a few extra calories (like 300-400). I know when it is coming, so I try to bank up calories…

Shoot.....nothing to be embarrassed about! You do you. If it works for you, then keep going!
-
I don't take anything personal, but I do feel it is important to get a full range of information out there so that newer people can find their OWN way. Stating absolutes is never a good idea, here or elsewhere.

I think my longest stretch was about 14 hours and I was sleeping for about 10 of those.

This. All of this.
