I accomplished my goals for Monday. I did a 30 min walking workout on YouTube and I didn’t binge. Today already feels harder though.

That is so awesome! I’m inspired-I want to work up to that much exercise. Right now I mostly do random low impact YouTube workouts. I go for like 20-40 minutes. We’ve got this!

I want to lose 10 lbs and fit into size 6 shorts :smile:

Hey everyone! My goal is to lose 10 lbs. We can do this!!!!

You're not losing because you're eyeballing portions. When you eye ball you have no way of knowing how many calories you're eating.

You are gorgeous! I was an hourglass and 17, then I gained 40lbs over the course of ten years. It's half gone now, and I'm a pear :'( lol I'm happy though that my waist is currently 12" smaller than my hips, so I've got curve down there. I'm curious about what my shape will be when I'm a goal.

I prefer 2-3 small, healthy snacks during my workday, then a big "meal" when I get home that actually consists of snacks like Greek yogurt, fruit, veggies, almonds, PB etc etc. And a little candy. I'm so lazy, I prefer food that takes no prep. This week I'm experimenting with real meals instead to see if it helps me feel…

What are your standards? Don't try to land a Barbie dude. If you're a little more realistic with your physical standards, you might find a really fulfilling relationship. You have loose skin? She might have loose skin, stretch marks, cellulite. Big deal. Why should women have to look like porn stars with smooth skin, not…

Do you love your job? Are you passionate about your studies? Or have you been forcing yourself to do things you don't even like for so long, that now that you have something that actually interests you it's hard to force yourself through? Sorry I might be projecting. School always took a huge amount of effort because I…

Sorry guys the only reason I want to lose 20 lbs is so I'll feel attractive. I just want to be sexy :blush:

I'm sending you tons of hugs. I've struggled with BED for years. I used to purge, but I haven't done it in one year. The thing that finally worked to motivate me to learn healthier behaviors is falling in love with my boyfriend. We have a serious, committed relationship and I want to be healthy for him and our future. I…

Success has more to do with perseverance than innate ability. I often tell myself that I'm tough as nails and I've got a spine of steel. Also, Sia has a song where the refrain is "I've got stamina", it inspires me.

Congratulations on getting clean! My boyfriend experienced a similar weight fluctuation when he got clean- losing weight, then gaining. Make sure dieting doesn't trigger you. Weight loss isn't linear and it takes time. Try to be patient. The suggestions here are excellent. Good luck!

Yesterday, I walked by the detention table and a kid yelled at me "She's ugly! She's SO ugly!!!"....I didn't binge that night and I called the dermatologist. Also, in November my boyfriend told me the only reason he would break up with me was my 20 lb weight gain.

I'm a long term sub in first grade, our winter break ended two weeks ago, so I started working again two weeks ago. How do you deal with the stress???? I really want my own classroom but I'm having such a hard time managing stress without binging.

Strong Curves! The author is obsessed with butts! He's the ultimate *kitten* man!

Thank you for posting this!

I'm sending you tons of hugs. It's HARD taking care of a sick loved one, but you are so kind to do it. Remember that it's okay to be exhausted and angry. In terms of meals, I've been enjoying the meal prep ideas from Fit Men Cook. I'm wishing you the best!

Congratulations on getting clean! The person I love most in the world is a former addict- it's hard. You are so strong. Getting clean is proof that you're strong enough to do anything.

I've never heard of a food challenge and it sounds scary- what's the point of shoving 10,000 calories into your body? Just because? Yucky :(

I've been waiting to be able to wear a pair of jeans I bought when I was thinner. Today, they fit great and I could comfortably wear them to run errands. However, I realized I don't like them anymore :/ Now I've got to lose another jean size so I can buy trendier jeans.

Also, it's wonderful that you love her and are attracted to her just the way she is. Tell her all the time how much you love her body. Some women are never lucky enough to have a partner who honestly thinks their body is gorgeous. My boyfriend said my weight was a deal breaker. I love him, but it hurts. Bret's Glute…

Strong Curves- the author, Bret Contreras, is the ultimate *kitten* man. He's obsessed with butts lol Google a post in his blog where he explains exercises that target the glutes but don't increase leg mass. My boyfriend noticed improvement in my booty when I was just two days into the program.

I'd be so pissed. Did he apologize? At least you have extra G now

Thank you! I have been making sure I get enough protein these past few days, and it makes sense that I should focus on that once school starts again. I'll make a list of my high protein snacks so I remember to bring them :)

You have accomplished a lot at a really young age. It makes sense that you need time off to just relax and have fun, you work hard. I guess the trick is finding ways to do it that don't end up hurting you. Good luck!

Burn more calories than you eat

Hi! I just finished my teaching credential! In January, I'm going to start a long-term substitute teaching assignment in first grade. I'm SO excited! It's awesome to meet another teacher! During my last long-term sub, and during student teaching, I would come home from work, sit on the couch, and stuff my face because I…

@Sued0nim Thank you! Also, I love reading your replies in threads because you have so much wisdom. I'm feeling SO much better! During Christmas, I rested and ate lots. Yesterday, I did the first workout in the Strong Curves program. I'm trying to eat enough, especially protein. Today, I'm determined to rest, even though a…
