@hillmike56 that's a great resolution! I would love the same :) June 2018 Me: 29 B: 1 DBF: 4 Urge-free days: 2

6/30 Days until maintenance: 63 Today's OMAD:

Update: My original plan was to lift on MWF and go for long walks on TThS, but I think the fact that LA is so hilly in comparison to Miami means that I will need more rest days than just one each week. A 4-mile flat Miami walk is nothing compared to the 4-mile hikes I have been taking across the bluff here, and my body is…

Thanks, @EstrangedTiger! So far so good :)

@lamlam2013 So sorry about your father, and it is good to hear that he is improving. @hillmike56 Hear, hear! June 2018 Me: 28 B: 1 DBF: 3 Urge-free days: 2

Sending you all of the ((positivity)) for your first 21 days!

@mistymeadows2005 wow! Yes, good thing you have a big cup! I picked up an 8-cup jug from Target last year, and it is AMAZING since I know I only need to fill it up 2-3 times. I will probably commit to using my smaller one when I get back to Miami to get those steps in! Great tips, @EstrangedTiger!

Yum yum! I would love some sushi right about now!

Me too, @Brendalea69. A few years ago, one binge would've sent me completely off the rails for months at a time. I have been so accustomed to isolating when I feel shame, and I am finding that reaching out for help really helps me sort through how I am feeling in a way that is much more empowering when making further…

I agree with Sammy! The scale is so ridiculous sometimes, but that inch loss is amazing!

Congrats, Sammy! What great numbers! You're going to step into your anniversary a whole new person whether you lose the 50 or not (though I'm secretly hoping you get your wish)!

I find the first 3 days to be the hardest with any diet change for me, and especially on the night of the second day. You made it through that, so you've got this!

@Keto_Vampire great progress. You should be so proud. @hillmike56 I'm so sorry about yesterday, but I have faith in you for today. You've got this. June 2018 Me: 27 B: 1 DBF: 2 Urge-free days: 1

That is great for health purposes, though! I was just thinking about how I could maintain this level of activity when I get back to Miami. I am currently averaging over 16K steps in LA, and I would love to keep that up because it's so much more satisfying than spending hours on the treadmill. Miami can be so unbearably hot…

Welcome, and I wish you all the best! I am looking forward to following along on your journey.

Any nummies to share today?

Wooohoooo! Happy anniversary!

Your workplace looks absolutely awesome! I'm jealous!

I agree with you, @Brendalea69! I cannot imagine losing that much without cutting off a body part! It looks like it worked well for you, though, Tracey! 7.6 lbs in 9 days is amazing! :)

I also used to struggle so much on the weekends! I think being physically active on the weekends is the only thing that pulled me out of that behavior because of that post-workout high. I don't have any great tips since you work on the weekends, but I hope someone will come in here and contribute some.

Such consistent numbers! Awesome work!

Indeed!

@veranj25 welcome! You won't find a better group than this one <3

Thank you so much for your kind words, everyone. Yesterday was a rough one for me emotionally, but I received a lot of online and in-person support (my coworker also struggles with an ED, and I am so happy things were orchestrated for us to be working together!). I am feeling much better today, and I know all I can do is…

@KnitOrMiss @Nevadaden @hillmike56 thank you so much for your kind words. I logged in and read them but wasn't ready to come back yet to update. I did have a good cry, but you all are exactly right. I never would've thought I'd make it one day without binging a few years ago, so this is amazing progress. Even though I did…

Thanks, everyone! I'm feeling a bit dejected this morning because I binged last night for the first time in several months (I think the first time this year!). I am fairly certain that this is related to the fact that my caloric deficit before the binge was higher than I personally prefer after all of the exercise I did…

Thank you for the kind thoughts, everyone. Unfortunately, I failed late last night. I felt it coming, and I just couldn't stop it. I'm heartbroken. June 2018 Me: 25 B: 1 DBF: 0 Urge-free days: 0

@arguablysamson thank you! Great advice :) I didn't actually bring my home scale, so I am only going based off of the one in the gym. However, I will definitely average the weights I measure on the last day I am in LA with the first day back in Miami. I was a big animal activist back in the day and was either vegetarian or…

I hope your surgery went well and you are recovering nicely <3

What rich foods did you eat? And where are the pics??? :p
