each person has the option of making their diary private or public. nobody can see private diaries but the owner.

if humans weren't meant to drink milk, why do new mothers lactate??

one baby step at a time.

can you really eat 10,000 calories in one day??

i weigh and measure just about everything. if the package says that a serving is 2 pieces, then i take 2 pieces and use the package info. as for eating at someone's house, you will eventually get used to what a portion looks like and be able to estimate. there are online graphics that show examples of portion sizes. try…

isn't there a song, "i will follow you, follow you wherever you may go..." i had another down day yesterday. spent the day in bed and barely ate. by dinner, i was feeling well enough to eat, but I was still low on my calories. today i'm feeling better and norm is making streak on the grill so i should be okay. its so easy…

i, personally would prefer to keep tracking here, but take the chitchat back to sp, if that's fine with everyone else. i'll do whatever everyone else wants.

i agree, erika. i miss the emojis. i'm having a hard time adjusting here, but i'm willing to give it more time. i know we've only been here for a little while.

i'm so proud to be able to say that as of this morning, i am officially overweight and no longer obese according to my bmi!! welcome back, kelly. we missed you. it sounds like you had a wonderful time. i hope the good feeling lingers! happy birthday, erika. emme, all i can say is, "wow" hello to everybody else.

good for you, erika. you deserve some time off. what a great birthday present to have your son coming home. (imagine a picture of a birthday cake here) we're going to a cookout on sunday. i'm bringing fruit salad, so i know there will be something healthy, BUT, this is a big drinking crowd so i'll need to be extra aware.…

erika, you know me... i answer to anything. i just lost a whole big, long post. i definitely need to learn how to do things over here.

i'm going to add you as a friend and keep in touch to hear about your progress. anorexia is like alcoholism--you're never "cured', just in recovery. we have to work so much harder than others.

okay, erika. you can add me. just don't take yourself off! karen and leanne, welcome to our team. we've been together for quite a while and we're thrilled to have new friends join us. :)

you're welcome and good luck. :)

to lose a pound/week, you need to have a calorie deficit of 500/day. that means you have to burn 500 cal more than you consume. but remember that you have a bmr which is the number of calories you burn just by being. any exercise increases the number of calories burned and therefore increases the amount of calories that…

you are so wrong. it's not hard to eat 600 calories a day without weighing. i did it for years.

georgiamaxine1, i have been in the same place that you are now. i was always overweight. one day, in my early 30's, i decided didn't want to be overweight anymore. i started eating less and less as my appetite waned. before i knew it was happening, i was anorexic. i was eating way too few calories and not even realizing…

okay, as entertaining as this is, i've had enough. i will continue to eat whatever i want and maintain my calorie deficit and thus continue to lose weight. pizza is sounding mighty good for dinner tonight, but i promise not to eat the whole thing because i don't want to throw up!!

i'm getting hungry for pizza now and it's all your fault!

following this thread is better than watching soap operas!

i stand by my statement. what you said dos not agree with op

so, what you're saying is that you do not agree with op. you eat what you want, you lose weight, you just feel better when you eat "good" food.

"You can lose weight eating the foods you enjoy as long as you're in a calorie deficit" this is absolutely true. this statement makes no reference to health or anything else other than losing weight. if you want to eat your daily allowance of calories in hot fudge sundaes every day, you will lose weight. if you choose to…

i'd like to be in on this. starting weight (1/01/17): 167.4 1/08 1/15 1/22 1/29

is it too late to join this challenge? i don't do anything special on weekends, but starting monday (the 5th) i'll be aiming for a minimum of 20 minutes, 3 days per week and building up from there. doctor's orders! ~ryan

i went back to the gym after having been away for months. i chose to get myself back into it by starting with machines. the great thing about starting there is that you don't have to worry about form; the machine positions you. start light and increase in small increments until you feel challenged. if you start with the…

my aunt lives in mclean. my son used to live in alexandria; worked in stafford.

me, too. whereabouts?
