You can do this. I'm not quite as obese as you (I peaked at 300 lbs and 172 cm) but even at that weight and with a bum ankle that's largely made of titanium pins and plates I was regularly walking 8-10 miles a day and could do 18-20 miles on a Saturday or Sunday without much trouble. A few weeks ago when I was only down to…

Those are all fair points. And I'm willing to accept it means different things to different people. But I feel like we need better words then. Because when I "binge" it is pathological and terrifying. So to hear someone else describe overeating as "binging" as though it were a charming quirk kind of sets my teeth on edge.

I'm really not trying to be a jerk but I'm not sure a lot folks around her understand what a binge really means. When I'm seriously in the depths of depression I can put down 15K+ calories in a day easily. Multiple pizzas, multiple bags of chips & cookies, 100 oz of soda and so on. Until you've taken measures to make it…

How all have you tried eating beans? There are tons of ways to sneak them into your diet besides just rice & beans. You can make veggie burgers out of them, "meat" balls and loafs, soups, I've been known to take an immersion blender and a can of beans to batches of pasta sauce as both a thickener and nutritional booster or…

I was vegan for a long time & used plain, unsweetened almond milk in my cereal, for cooking and just to drink. When I went back on animal products I tried switching to back to cow juice because it's more nutritionally dense, I ain't scared of fat and it's cheaper. But I found it was waaaaay too sweet for me after getting…

Nuts are one of my favorite between meal snacks. A handful of nuts keeps me satisfied for hours.

Me too. Risperdal was life changing for me in a lot of ways. So I just accepted the weight gain. But I started showing early warning signs for diabetes so my doctor and I decided to try me on Latuda. The first couple months were rough. I ended up hypomanic and the doc just kept upping the dose until I was on enough to to…

I don't have any advice for you. Just checking in to say I feel the pain of weight loss on an atypical antipsychotic. I ballooned up big time when I started on Risperdal and have been fighting to take it off ever since. Luckily I'm off that and on Latuda instead which seems to be making it easier.

I've been a veggie of some stripe or another off and on for the past twenty years. And I've tried low carb dieting off and on a few times, too. Personally? I feel my best when I'm eating a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, nuts and whole grains with modest amounts of dairy and meat. It doesn't make me drop weight super…

Yep. I have a Fitbit Surge. I have mine set to all day sync so periodically my Fitbit syncs with my phone and updates MFP automatically. No fuss no muss.
