  • Same here! (Currently in the eating machine phase right now, lol). Before my period I'm super hungry and crave anything dairy/fat related, then once my period starts I'm not very hungry for the first day or two and can't eat anything carb-heavy (like bread or fries) - this is especially if I get nausea. I also retain a lot…
  • Thank you for all your answers! I haven't been taking measurements, I'm basing it more on the way my old jeans fit... if patience is the answer then I guess I'll just have to wait it out!
  • I know what you mean. I don't have an eating disorder but I think I could potentially if I didn't keep checking in with how I feel about food and watching how my mental health is. I currently estimate calories (I don't weight food, I estimate to the best of my ability) and I deliberately don't weigh food because I think…
  • I was debating between alta HR and charge 2, I ended up with the charge 2 and absolutely love it – at the moment the charge 2 may well be cheaper (because the charger 3 is coming soon) which was mostly why I picked the charge 2 over the alta HR, especially considering how many more features the charge 2 has :)
  • If you wear the fitbit all the time, and you have synced the fitbit with MFP, you don't log exercise manually – the fitbit does it all. If you also manually log your exercise, this is why you're off track – because your exercise is being logged once by the fitbit and once by you, so MFP thinks you are doing double the…
  • I make sure to schedule in some snacks, because I *know* I will binge if I try and restrict/resist the temptation to eat sweet things. I've also begun drinking water much more regularly and I think this will help. I also try to shift more towards pure protein and avoid carbs (depending on what I crave – basically I don't…
  • I used to be on 1,200 calories but I found it incredibly difficult to stick to it – I've since raised my goal to 1,500 and I've lost nearly 4lbs in a couple of weeks, but most importantly I don't feel hungry all the time or get the urge to binge. I'm 5"3 and 147lbs (started at 151) for reference.
  • I want to be able to go shopping for jeans and not hate my thighs. I'm only slightly overweight but my thighs have been a deep insecurity for a long time and I just... want to be able to feel good in whatever I'm wearing without my weight getting in the way.
  • Thank you for everyone who's given me advice! I set my goal of 1lb per week, I'm currently at 144lbs and I ideally want to get down to 120lbs (although I'll be happy with being anywhere within 120-129lb range). I put my activity at the lowest because I'm a student and I spend a lot of time sitting, but then I log all my…
