THIS ^^^^ Anyway, glad to read I'm not the only one struggling with these comments. I've got them a lot, especially since Italians always assume that if you've lost weight is because you're ill. "Do you want pizza?" "No thank you" "WHY?" "Because I'm not hungry" "Yes, but WHY??" Even if you have an iron will, living in an…

I confess I tried to read all of the pages in the thread but gave up (too many!) Also, I confess to feeling comforted by the fact that, by these confessions, you can clearly see everyone has their own insecurities and obsessions, which makes me feel less crazy. I also confess to feeling awfully depressed because I'm in bed…

@emilysusana that's what I do with the cookies, I just finish them all and be done with them so that I don't have that awful temptation in my kitchen :joy:

Me: 3 LNS: 2 Aand now I'm getting hungry so I'd better get to bed!

@DeficitDuchess then we should switch countries, never liked Italian men :joy:

I'm going to try the "sleep in your running clothes" thing and honestly, tonight my alarm is going to be across the room :joy: @thunder1982 I soo feel you! I have an "all or nothing" mentality too. If I am back on track, I know I will stick to it as it becomes a habit and my body tells me it needs it. @canadianlbs your…

Me: 1 LNS: 1 Ok so this didn't start too well :joy: But yesterday I really felt like eating a few cookies, so I did and I take full responsibility. I don't feel bad about it because I did it consciously, and I enjoyed it :tongue: Now I'm motivated enough to get back on track, motivation, motivation! :sunglasses:

@Stoshew71 yep, I did :disappointed: @juliet3455 @kristinegift @HonuNui thank you guys, I'll just update it after the first run and see if it shows, otherwise I'm just going to type it :smirk:

@tinuz on my honour I swear I did not! :innocent:

I know this is slightly OT, but I was wondering... am I the only one having trouble with TickerFactory? I created my ticker, but when I go back and try to update it, adding my current cumulative value, it just doesn't register and my little runner girl stays on the "0" value :disappointed:

@mjaykup That sounds like a plan, desperate time desperate measures :lol:

I'm in! Going to run about 84 km (52 miles) this November! Hope I'll keep it up since I have a long trip at the end of the month, but I'll try. Still trying to figure out how the ticker works, so bear with me :sweat:

Definitely in! No snacking (especially on cookies, damn cookies) after 8 p.m. Let's do this B)

@ExileFromTheNorth I am quite motivated thank you, have been for almost a year now :) But recently I felt the need to have a "motivation network", I guess? That's why I decided to join. Also, never heard that saying, apparently being here will also help me with my English, two birds one stone, yay :D

I'm just going to reply to the last question, YES YES aand YES. Even though I lost weight, since lately I haven't been too healthy in my food choices, I do indeed feel fat =w= I guess that just goes to show that the mirror is not important, rather how comfortable you feel with yourself, that's why it's so important to…

Thank you guys! Indeed when I ran in the morning I used to feel much more active and healthier, regardless of the weight I'd lose. And (unfortunately) yes, I love cooking, especially baking cakes! I'm getting better at that which is a shame, considering that I can't resist them, they turn out too yummy (not bragging or…

THIS^^^ Honestly, I couldn't have said it better. That's how I lost all the weight I lost. I didn't rule out any kind of food, just tried to "fit" it in my calorie goal. I don't know if it's still valid in the long run - lately, for example, I've been bingeing which is something that I never did, and failing miserably -…

I have no idea to be honest, but I love running. To tell you the truth, I think that what has helped me most in the past months, rather than running, was the calorie deficit, as many others have pointed out. But I still kept running because I liked it and it made me feel active.
