Sorry! I'll drop it since I wasn't doing well myself. :)

I might have to stop since I feel I am not doing the best job explaining myself. The exact question is fine, but the before and after around the post, added with the orIginal post prior to it gives it such a feeling. That's what I meant :( collectively as a whole reading your first post, then seeing your second post in…

I don't know how to answer your question, the way people write and word things give off tone. Yours you have given me is in itself off putting. Thank you for commenting but I don't really want to spend my morning trying to explain in detail things that I know others read and feel which others may not. I lack the full time…

I don't think it's bad to ask for it, I think it's just the way you asked. The tone of your post seemed to carry on from the first one. I'm not saying you can't ask, I didn't mean to imply that.

The thread got deleted? Boo! I was looking for it too :( I hope my post explaining isn't rude or anything. If so I do apologize. :(!

Certainly :)! I think your original post you said you were surprised, which is understandable since its Perscribed. But with the way you mentioned surely twice, and your original wording, it seemed just like you were almost scoffing at the OP of the thread. Sort of turning your nose up at her(?) I think is the phrase. When…

Coming from outside the conversation they seemed condescending to me. Different viewpoints, and I felt her response wasn't outside an understandable scope. I don't think they meant I'll by their original reply with surely but it could be and was taken with offense. Just trying to show that her reply doesn't seem overactive…

As this has been happening to me, I found a few ways to help this. One: Figure out when you're going to bed. Stop eating anything 2-3 hours before that. This way food is digested better, and it helps me not wake up feeling a lump in my stomach. I hate that. Two: Split your dinner into two halves. One you eat around 6-7,…

Same! Normally I'm fine not eating it back, it doesn't bother me. :)!

This is meeee!!!! To a T! I bought a bunch of veggies to stuff in my soup today as well as lots of delicious food for a salad. Including on sale grilled chicken breast sliced and diced! So excited right now :)

I went back to my food diary, ive been eating little LITTLE protein. Really odd, I thought I was eating so much. Time to work on that! Thank you everyone who mentioned that! I cant believe I didnt notice that :(!

Apologies if I seem angry with you. I have just been quite frustrated that, no matter how to phrase a question or in what way or nicety, someone with some god-complex or ego driven jerk feels the need to comment unkindly. Whether it be just insulting or condescending or rudely snarky. It's like they see 'oh hey 10 people…

I havent had a protien shake in months, but ill look into it to see if it can help :) Thanks! Maybe I should try drinking more water. I drink about 10 8oz cups a day so far. Maybe more would be good. I LOVE oatmeal. I have oatmeal about 2-3 times a day if I can. I just really love it, as well as cream of wheat :) But I…

Im not sure, I think I am? I usually hit my protein and fat goals.

Just so its clear again, here's what I ASKED Not "Please comment on my choices because I care about your opinions".

Thats funny, I ate the exercise calories back and was still hungry. Also funny other people could respond without having to bring up my choices. If someone cant answer the question without bringing it up, I dont need their help. And they didnt help at all so i dont care at all for their comment and i'm ok with letting it…

I might keep an eye out too. I LOVE to eat once home from work. It's where j always go over and I always eat the most. Maybe others will have great advice :)

I am hoping to try that, this week has been a major bust. I am not sure if due to Mother Nature or what but I'm eating at 1650-1800 calories per day without workout and 2000 with. Come buffet time on Friday I am not having any spare calories it seems. I'll have to spend the weekend burning It off most likely. Apologies I'm…

Thank god their MY CHOICES then right? You can stick to yours.

it seems to for a few people. They respond so rudely like it's a personal insult to them. sheesh.

All of those were me for YEARS. It takes an epiphany sometimes to start wanting to work out.

where were they complaining and doing nothing? If you're not going to help no need to be rude :(

Thank heavens for this thread. I am the same with stress or emotional Eating. I know the feeling entirely, but I'm happy to see helpful advice here. As all things are, changing this shall too be a process :)

oh thank you! I'll take a look at it and give it a good read when I'm on my home computer :) greatly appreciated!

My base came from the fact that I was a size 11 in juniors for most of my life. Silly as it may seem I didn't get excersising or CICO until about a year ago when I made a fit friend. So I always wanted to be a size "9" juniors/ 6 women's. And now I'm mostly there, I like my leg sizes now. I don't know how "good" an excuse…

Oh right I'm five four and a half inches :)! So the healthy weight I saw online said something like 125-150lbs is healthy

Hi all! Sorry I didn't give enough information! I bought a size juniors 9 pants which is the same as a woman's six. I can put them up and on and buttoned but they still feel tight. That's why I said technically. As for working out I actually do work out. Typically 3-6 times a week I run up stairs and walk back down…

tua k you for the advice, I'll try to essentially keep doing what I am. Monday - Thursday is amazing and I do quite well. It's Friday and Saturday, or at least Saturday, that I feel something happens like going out or a party and I end up eating too much.

I'm going to try that, I thought about it some time and I think I will keep my excersising routine and just see where I go through the holidays. At the end of it, regardless, comes the new year. Everyone tries to get fit then so I'll have lots of support and others there as well with the same goal at least :)

thank you for the reply :) it's nice to read comments that don't seem condescending or like they want to stick out for not being very supportive. I personally found my actual end goal because I was and still am able to fit into the pant size I wanted to. Which is great but I feel I barely squeeze in. I though losing five…
