I'm beginning to be sorry that I posted this. I'm not going off the deep end; I just thought that, due to the nature of the site, there might be others out there who are in the same boat, overweight and overwhelmed and in remission from eating disorders. Can someone close or delete this thread, please?

@lapierrecyclist and @vespiquenn - yes, I'm currently in therapy. I feel like I'm ALWAYS in therapy. Thank you for the tips; I really don't get enough healthy protein. And I am discussing my eating disorder with my therapist; she's been my number one support these past few weeks. Thank you all for the input.

I'm 53 years old, a little over 5'3". Started at 194, down to 184. My goal is 115, but as someone above said, I've started strength training, so if I get to 125-130 and I'm happy with how I look and feel, I'm not going to worry about the numbers on the scale. I'm, uh, curvaceous, and I've found that dramatic weight loss at…

@BodyzLanguage - I'm bulimic, and my brain is wired to just keep eating.

At least two or three. Not huge binges, but I will go through an entire box of 90-calorie Fiber One bars while I'm writing at night, which will throw me about 50 calories over my goal if I don't watch it during the day. I haven't had an all-out binge in a couple of weeks. But I have an eating disorder, so I really have to…

Yup. The "mindless" thing gets me almost every time.

@BodyzLanguage I would just keep eating the high calorie foods, all the time. And then have a salad for breakfast, and then proceed to eat a 4,00 calorie lunch and a 9,000 calorie dinner. And then go eat a box of laxatives, lol.

That's the thing, though. Being "extra good for the next few days" isn't the point, it's being just "good" (I hate that word) consistently, over time. I weigh myself once a week now, because crap happens and if I weighed myself every day like I used to, and saw that 0.01 lb gain from the extra protein bars I ate tonight on…

See, if I did that, I'd never stop eating, lol.

Okay, what is IF?

Okay, so tomorrow you won't do that again, right? It happens. I gained back 12 lbs. last month and I feel like garbage about it, but you know what? We can't change what we did, only what we will do. Add me if you want, I have a bingeing problem myself, so I totally know how you feel.

I'm new, and I'd like to join. I really screwed up at the end of July and went back up to 188 lbs. I was 194 on June 1, and dropped to 172, probably too fast, but then a bunch of stuff happened in the last two weeks, and I just stopped taking care of me. SO, forget July. Here are my goals for August: * Do cardio every day…

Port Jefferson, NY (which is on Long Island, about 40 minutes from Manhattan; I'm on the North Shore right on the Long Island Sound).

Hi! I just joined the MFP site yesterday, and this challenge today. Can someone tell me how to go about logging my steps? I walked at around 3 mph for 60 minutes today. Also, I don't have a "gadget" to log my steps, so how do I go about counting them? I don't want to be obsessive about accuracy, but I do want to challenge…

Hey, I'm looking to lose 68 lbs. (hopefully by Valentine's Day). I'm gonna send you a friend request - we can DO this thing!

Agreed. I started walking on the treadmill three months ago. At first, I could only manage 20 minutes at 2.7 mph; now I'm up to 30 minutes at 3.7 mph with a 3% - 4% incline (depending on the day). I also do 30 minutes on the elliptical now, but it all started with taking those first steps. Great post!
