[ Weight gain. I know this may sound pathetic [/quote] I’ve lost weight on meds because I no longer binge

Yes, huge correlation. I am on a mild, long term, anti anxiety med that helps immensely!

Hate yourself if you’re a child rapist or an axe murderer, not for weight gain. It’s not a fatal character flaw.

Once a week for me. First thing every Saturday morning

I’m in Canada. I was a size 30, now a 24

Just telling me they see changes in my body.

Yes. It’s helped a lot to have proper shoes. Still hurts like hell though

The damage is done in my knees. I can’t really make them any worse. The pain will get better the lighter I get. Either way, I’m looking at a double knee replacement somewhere down the road.

I forgot to add that I also swim

Thanks everyone. Lots of good ideas. I’m not a beginner with training but definitely still a novice

My job involves a lot of lifting so I need a strong core. My goals are basically all that you’ve mentioned. I do most of my workouts outside and use what’s at hand

For books, I read “When Food is Love” by Geneen Roth. All of her books offer good insight into binge eating but this one speaks to me the most

I have a BED, currently in remission. I did a year of counselling to figure out why I binge, that help me to avoid situations that might make me want to binge. For me it started with deprivation. I was severely restricted in my eating as a young person. I was never allowed treats and never allowed to eat what I wanted. As…

Sick of "the person above you " and "just saying"

I have a fatty liver and I'm doing keto. The low fat and low carb leaves you only one option, protein. Too much protein and it, too, will convert to fat. I won't give advice as I'm no expert. I WILL tell you what I'm doing. I eat lower carb, under 100g per day, moderate fat, and moderate protein. Moderate fat helps me feel…

Welcome! I agree with what the others have said. Also, do what exercise you can, even if it's just walking a lap around your living room a couple times a day. Get some free weights and start to build some muscle. The more muscle you have, the more you lose. Seek counselling to address the reasons you are in the situation…

I save up calories if I know there is a special occasion coming. For instance, a wedding where I'd like to have a piece of the cake. I don't consider any food or activity cheating. This is my new normal.

I don't see fat

Most fast food joints will do their burgers as a lettuce wrap. I eat them like that all the time. 5 months on keto and down 64lbs

Looking great! I hope one day you are able to accept the fact that you are beautiful. Kick the old voices out of your head

My macros are 10, 20, and 70 so not a super strict keto. My meal window is different though because I am a shift worker. The biggest problem I've had is periodic, gassy, greasy diarrhea. (Sorry TMI)

My daughter is now 15. When she was 11-13, she put on some extra weight. She was not obese but a little bit chunky. Being obese myself, I was leary of speaking to her at all as I didn't want to make her more self conscious then she already was. I talk about how I was thin and athletic as a teen but became obese later in…

Lower sugar/carb intake helped me

Low carb works best for me. I've had PCOS for over 25 years and it's the only thing that has worked for me to lose weight

Well done

Check out the group section. There is a low carb group that has several thousand members. It's called the low carber daily forum-the LCD group

First of all, congrats on quitting and changing your life. I quit several years ago and it was the hardest, but best, thing I ever did for myself. I echo what some of the other commenters have said. Give it time. Your organs need to detox and adjust to the new normal. They are still acting like they did when you were…

Walking and swimming are my "go-tos". Swimming especially. It's easy on the joints, is a full body workout, and helps with strength and cardio. Aggie SW 431 CW 376 GW 230ish

Track everything in your MFP diary. It will tell you how many calories are in your food, and how many calories you are burning in your workouts. Keep an eye on portion size. When you complete your diary at the end of the day, it will tell you if you have a deficit or a surplus of calories. If you have a deficit number in…
