  • My doctor informed me not to touch my exercise calories. Say I burn 300 calories. That's it, done, those are not calories to eat back. You might want to try that. You also NEED to invest in a food scale. Your tablespoon of peanut butter is not a portion of peanut butter. It's almost enough to cry over what your REAL…

  • I have Bipolar 1. Have. It doesn't go away. Don't think of the stigmas that go along with it. Were not omgyes happy and i *kitten* hate you upset the next. Were emotional people, and part of the problem is understanding, comprehending, and controlling these emotions. It's a sickness, but it's not us. We are not a sick…

  • Usually when I have the munches at night and want a snack it goes a little something like this. "NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. NOPE DON'T NEED THAT NOPE GONNA DRINK SOME WATER YUP but wait chocolate NOPE STRONG TIME NOW NOPE" Usually it'll take a half hour of "noping" before my body gives up the fight and is satisfied by what…
    in what's your best "self-talk" for creating new fitness/health/weight-loss behaviours? Comment by TCamardella December 2015
  • I've been on the pill for 7 years, even straight through my period time (doctors orders). It has not "made" me gain, though I do retain more water, so I have to drink more. That's it, no real fat being packed on.

  • I've recently (as in the last 4 days) started doing 10 minutes of cardio, and 15 minutes of walking every day. I know it's not a ton but I'm doing my best for right now (I plan on upping as it gets easier, as horrible as it is to admit I get out of breath pretty quickly). I admit I'm a salty eater, especially around my…

  • Thanks so much everyone, all your kind words mean so much to me!

  • This is your first step on your journey. You're here and talking to us, and that's great! You're already making great steps to losing weight. I have 150 pounds to lose, I know how it feels to have a snug shirt, or feel your stomach pouch over your jeans. It's annoying gross, and just not what we want! But you CAN do this.…

  • My mother is on prozac. It doesn't just "pack on the pounds", but it did make her more hungry. You might gain weight, you might not. I'm also on Remeron which is apparently a big "eater" drug. If you're worried, keep strict to your tracking, and talk to your doctor. They're there to help you, and your mental health is just…

  • Thank you very much, this made me feel a bit better. I'll definitely avoid going off it cold turkey.
