a if you are going to be in Manhattan http://www.nycbestbar.com/stumble/ order yourself a stuffed burger with onion rings :smiley: if you are trying to look for healthier less caloric dense food... our portions are pretty big. cut the dish in half and split it with another person OR between meals OH AND IF IT SAYS UNDER…

hey guys we are all on this site for one thing. and that is to get healthy! some need to gain or lose weight. some are working to get stronger but at the end of the day we are all in this together. Let's not bite each others heads off.

try eating some fish and grilled chicken. you can also have some carbs. I stay away from white carbs. so like white bread, white rice, pasta. i don't know know about everyone else but they do not keep me full for long and make me CRAVE chocolate. try brown rice, farro, quinoa, (i wasnt a fan of quinoa but i hear people…

i love the charge HR. I love the heart rate monitor i can see how hard of a work out i got and how long I stayed in the different heart rate zones and because it can detect your heart rate you also get a more accurate reading of the amount of calories you burned :)

I used to walk around in circles around the file cabinets at my job. i had to sit near the phones and unfortunatly my job sucks major butt and i need to stay by my phone. it was ok until they put this desk in the way.... if i didnt have this job i'd be moving much more. I'm going back to school hopefully! i wont be here…

I understood the meaning because of everyones post... but i would have NEVER guessed that in a million years hahaha thanks!

So I am reading these stories and they are so amazing! but quick question... what does NSV stand for??? :X

I eat Kashi berry, i measure it out and then throw in some chia seeds and berries :) make it a little healthier lollol Also I am dominican so i was born with a plate of rice and beans XD but ill eat brown rice instead of white and right now i've been eating Farro (love it omg) and as for the bread.... i HATE RYE BREAD but…

Urg i know the feeling. i had 3 surgeries within 2 years. The first one was brutal and i was in so much pain that i actually lost some weight because it hurt to eat. but about a month later i broke my ankle. 8 weeks of no walking really did it. but now we are all here :) It's just my opinion but if you go vegetarian you…

my big thing is carbs. like rice and cereal. i measure those out so I'm not over eating them.

I bought a food scale. It has a feature that when i type in a code it tells me how many calories and carbs each item has for the weight I'm measuring. Perfect for fruit :)…

When I first drank coffee i drank it with so much sugar. then i started weening myself off. I bought sugar in the raw in PACKETS! I started with 2 packs. (10 grams) then 1.5 and worked my way back down to nothing. honestly 1 packet of sugar is 20 calories 5grams of sugar so if you cant drink with out sugar it its not the…

i have a FitBit charge HR. i love it :)

I cant wait until i can wear tank tops and feel good about my arms. I had arm rolls for as long as i could remember i hate them and find them disgusting.

I just see you on here like everyone else. We all have different goals on here. yes having the ED makes it a little more complicated but at the end of the day we are all here for the same reason and that is TO GET HEALTHY!!! We just have to take a different path. Some us need to walk on the weight loss path. Others need to…

That's true that support groups are supervised. I just felt like everyone was jumping down the OP's throat for the wrong reasons. I think we all would like them to succeed and over come their disorders. :)

I see it as the OP wanting to overcome her eating disorder with the support of other people in her similiar situation. Remember you don't have to be underweight to have an eating disorder. She is struggling with bulimia which is basically binge eating and then over compensation for the binge. you either force yourself to…

Maybe they are just looking for people that they can relate. just like how people who over eat discuss weight loss progress. they need support from one another to encourage themselves to eat more and be healthy. I don't think this is a bad idea. As long as they arent reinforcing eachothers negative behaviors, just some…

idk how i feel about that. just the part where they "created" it not "discovered" it freaks me out

I think you look amazing!!! the people telling you that you are too thin are so used to seeing you as heavier so in comparison you look thin... and women tend to have a higher BMI then men. we got boobs and a bigger butt thats mostly fat lollol

put your salad in a container that seals tight then add a small amount of your dressing and SHAKE :) or try adding peppers and spices to it to help with flavor

you can always find frozen veggies like peas and corn and lima beans, spinach etc and make some brown rice and mix it together and have some chicken you got on sale. :) and to others that keep bashing her because shes 24 and married and "blaming her parents." I don't really see her blaming her parents. she is asking for…

you all can add me :)

also i looked at your profile. do you only have 10 lbs to lose? or is that a small goal that is part of a larger goal?

i guess that makes it harder if you are a vegetarian. protein helps me keep full. I have a similiar problem about always being hungry. i started drinking a protein shake (muscle milk) inbetween breakfast and lunch, it helps keep me full. I have been working out since september but started to finally drop a few pounds as…

try getting a scale that measures body fat/water/muscle percentage. I have the same problem and i bought one and it was the best thing. i could see the body fat go down and the muscle and water go up. (if your body fat is high it takes from the other two groups. (think of a pie chart {mmm pie})

213 pounds 5'4 size 16 dress (if its stretchy) :P

Put it on a high self in a cabinet where you dont go to often. out of side out of mind. ORRRR do an extra hour of your work out to burn it off :P

Carbs are the primary sorce for energy. then it goes into fat.... so if you eat tons of low carb veggies and fruit and have some meat your body will tap into fat stores. thats called ketosis. My coworker lost about 90 lbs doing that. personally I stopped eating pasta and i dont eat much bread. the carbs i eat are from…

good luck! i have about 60lbs to drop. when i get my weight down i'll see if i need to lose more on the way. Everyone can feel free to add me :smile:
