I count calories I eat low glycemic index foods, avoid sugar (but still treat myself occasionally), and am gluten free I eat: Protein, veggies, and carbs like quinoa, corn, buckwheat, and millet Snacks: carrots, handful of nuts, tortilla chips and salsa, berries, etc... - just make sure it fits into my calorie count for…

I’m 5’3” starting weight 140 current weight 131lbs goal weight range 120-125 It’s slow going I can lose as long as I stay around 1200-1500. I rarely only eat 1200 because I don’t want my metabolism to slow down too much. I’m happy with losing .5/1lb a week. That’s a lot! I take it day by day and don’t worry what will…

I think naturally perky butts are great! Yay! I know some pro body builder women recommend spending about 20-30min on the stair master 4 times a week to get a sculpted butt. Plus weight lifting! Good luck! Do you! :)

Great job so far! Be gentle with yourself you’re doing great :) Mindset is important Running a little over 3 miles might seem far But running 1 mile 3 times sounds like something I can do!! What really improved my stamina running was doing different forms of exercise especially lifting weights and doing strength training…

Factors I considered for ideal weight range 1. Ease of maintenance 2. Feeling comfortable in my body 3. It’s a healthy weight for me 4. Ability to be active the way I want to (hike, run, yoga, etc) My goal is the 120-125 range (I’m 5’3”). I notice when I weigh less than that I look weird. Too skinny, head a bit bigger than…

I hear ya! I started seeing a therapist for my binge eating, and I stopped binging after about a month of seeing her once a week :) I highly recommend, my therapist is awesome!

I completely understand everything you said I’m glad you posted! I was a binge eater I have food sensitivity I also have a problem with alcohol What I did: I had to stop drinking (so I joined a 12 step program. It was worth it, best group of friends I have who get me and who are focused on improving their lives :) I cut…

My gym goals have always been: show up and do something I always leave the gym with that goal accomplished lol :) Sometimes I’ve literally walked myself to the gym sat on a bike or did one exercise for 2minutes and left I don’t judge myself Some days I just don’t have it in me Other days now I run 5miles, lift heavy and…

Hey kpaing121! I’m glad you’re on here Stay! :) It took me a month of doing this before I started to see my weight drop I had to play around to find something that worked for me (bc we’re all different) I’m 5’3” I eat 1300-1500 calories a day and a few days I’ll eat around 1700-1900 and am losing 1lb a week I work out…

Thank you for sharing your story! You are not alone. I struggled with an eating disorder after a traumatic experience. I got a psychotherapist (from browsing online and picking one that I felt comfortable with) and talking to her stopped my eating disorder in its tracks! It took seeing her once a week for a month. I still…

I can be a perfectionist and I totally understand the desire to quit Here are my strategies that help me Strategy 1: Set Gentle Goals My goals are - show up at the gym and do something Eat healthy foods Love myself every day no matter what With goals like that whether i eat over my calories for the day or not, it doesn’t…

For me, yes the food matters I eat an anti-inflammatory diet and the pounds drop off so fast When I eat inflammatory foods, I get bloated, literally “gain” 4lbs overnight and don’t see the scale move at all (plus I usually don’t sleep well) My body is really sensitive though, so I doubt this is true for everyone But my ex…

Important note: scientists work to enhance the taste of many American processed foods to make them more addictive so we eat more/buy more. No joke. I think our food system is the problem not necessarily us Anyway lol I tend to overeat (and so keep out of the House) Chips Almonds Any dessert Cheese This is a super cool…

Add me too! Let’s do this! :)

The only people I know personally who can out running a bad diet are college football athletes The one I’m thinking of ... He ate so much! Burgers, Mac and cheese, candy, etc... (and honestly I think some inflammatory foods (sugar, fried foods) set people up for a heart attack later in life regardless of their weight and…

Not seeing a therapist sooner about my emotional eating/binging. Getting help changed the game for me. I haven’t binged once since I got through my first month of therapy :) I simply have no desire to. I didn’t know life could be this good! I have found freedom Also, it was important for me to change my mentality from…

I get the sense that somethings just not feeling right about your current life How are you feeling? I know for me (and I’m just speaking for myself) when I feel like I’m not on the right path, or I feel sad, or angry, or in pain That it’s time for me to make a change These are powerful feelings that can be used to help us…

You guys look great!

Love stevia brand SweetLeaf! Tastes so *kitten* good I’m not really answering your question, but... I say no to processed sugar because Sugar = feeds the bad bacteria in the gut Bad bacteria (for me) does not help me lose weight and it also gives me bad body odor (ugh) To me, body odor is indicative of a persons health I…

I use to binge eat Now I realize it’s because I was in a lot of emotional pain (and sort of in denial about it) :( Seeing an awesome therapist now! My binges stopped within the first two weeks of seeing her :) I highly recommend getting a professional in your corner to root you on in this matter! I also now eat three meals…

You got this girl! Hitting the gym brings back so much confidence and I think it can also help heal the heart My gym goals are simple: 1) show up! 2) do something 3) have fun :) It’s hard to get back into a routine, but I believe in you You are worth it!
