  • I don't really have proper periods, but I definitely still PMS and get cramps once a month. I find that I'm more likely to binge during these times but for some strange reason, I find that I'm able to exercise much more than usual. I find myself much more energetic. It sometimes balances out the binging... only sometimes,…
  • I tried this. I got told that the BMI guidelines were wrong. I've now run out of come backs and the inspiration to justify my weight loss. So I don't. I just tend to say it's my body and I'm healthy.
  • For me, it was going on a residential with work. We went for a walk and I spent the entire time struggling because of my "ankle" and granted, I did have an ankle injury, but it wasn't that bad. I knew it was because I was so fat and so out of shape that I couldn't manage what was actually a really easy walk. That should…
  • I'm glad that you like her, I know how difficult it can be if you have a therapist that you don't get on with. I'm glad that she's not pushing you too hard straight away and I really, really hope that therapy works out for you =)
  • I'm Laura. I've had eating disorders or ED behaviours for as long as I can remember. My mother had a massive effect on me and pretty much enforced restriction, fasting and binging (if her and my sister wanted to eat something bad, they'd physically force me to eat more bad foods than they did which eventually led to me…
  • yesterday: 130.6 today: 130 (-0.6) =)
  • 24* (Posts added whilst typing!)
  • What I ate was my own responsibility, but mostly comfort and binge eating triggered by my family and my circumstances. I put particular blame on my mother and step-father and an abusive ex.
  • No problem =) x
  • This is her new channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ZuzkaLight I don't know exactly what happened, but it looks like she got pushed out by her ex and his brother and sister-in-law. She's back doing workouts now, though, and they're back to basic bodyweight workouts... no need to spend more than £100 on each piece of…
  • I've done their workouts for a few months now, but I dislike the new workouts and presenters and I have therefore followed Zuzana to her new channel and workouts.
  • I don't have a camera at the moment, but once I find it, I will be joining in!
  • yesterday: 132.8 today: 130.6(-2.2) (Yes, this is possible. Particuarly for someone that has very low calories and very high exercise and who had a bowel movement for the first time in a few days!)
  • Name/ real name: Saxmis/Laura Goal weight on February 29th: 119 lbs (11.6 lbs to go!) 2/01: 130.6 2/06: 2/13: 2/20: 2/27: 2/29:
  • I keep my profile private for 2 reasons. Firstly, an abusive ex that has a stalking habit. 'Nuff said. Secondly, I maybe, possibly have a slight ED problem and some of my friends in my life are on here and if they saw what I was eating and how much exercise I was doing, I'd be having an intervention any minute now.
  • Going vegetarian can be easy =) Using meat substitues can really help with any meat cravings you have and as others have said, it's really easy to cook and can be used in replacement of meat in almost any recipe. I.e. veggie mince in spag. bol. and Quorn chicken fillets instead of a grilled chicken breast etc. Make sure…
  • I weigh myself 5-6 times a day. It's an addiction, but I don't want to stop. I know that it doesn't mean anything and it's the overall weight loss per week that's important, but a little thing like that won't stop me. I like to keep myself in account with what I'm eating and how much is food weight and how much is really…
  • I'm a full time student and I'm expected to make £8000 a year support two people. After £3700 on rent and water rates (part of my rent), £1500 a year on bills, £500 a year on gas and electric and £612 a year on travel, I don't have much left over for living costs. Approximately £140 a month to cover food, cat food, general…
  • I've had so many negative comments that I don't even know where to start. How about the ones that stick out most? Well, my mother said so many nasty things to me so continiously, from the moment my memories start that I ended up in hospital with a serious eating disorder. I recovered and ended up reaching 218 lbs and I…
  • No tricks, I'm afraid, just self control. Sometimes I can help with the cravings by having what I want but just in a different way. French fries = sweet potato fries baked in the oven with seasoning and low cal spray oil. Pizza = Portobello mushroom (with the stalk removed) with crushed tomatoes and low cal soft cheese…
  • To everybody, thank you so much. It's really nice to hear compliments about my weight loss and how I look for a change!
  • I did a lot of both. I cut out startchy carbs completely for almost 8 months (Christmas was my downfall, but now I'm getting back on track with that) and I also cut out dairy and most fatty foods. I was also working out 6-7 days a week (6 days working out heavily, one active rest day). I did most of it with cardio workouts…
  • Not quite West Yorkshire, here, but I've been near enough for most of my life. Todmerdon and Hebden Bridge at one point then Littleborough and now in Oldham! Good luck with your goal, hun =) x
  • Hopefully I remember to keep up with this this time! Name/ real name: Saxmis/Laura Goal weight on February 29th: 119 lbs 2/01: 2/06: 2/13: 2/20: 2/27: 2/29:
  • Once again, thank you everybody! I don't know what else to say! I'm blushing right now!
  • I get this ALL the time. I very rarely eat back my exercise calories. I exercise to create a deficiency so I can lose weight, that's just the way I work. I get people telling me all the time that I CAN eat junk food, just exercise first and make sure you don't eat more than the exercise. Erm, no thank you, I'd rather have…
  • Wow, thank you everybody, it really means a lot!
  • Thanks everybody. I got here through hard work, portion control and beating carbs away with a big stick!
  • Thanks! I'm still not 100% happy, but I can't deny that it's definitely better than what I was. The glasses are Pepe Jeans =) x
  • OK, so this isn't working properly, so I'll post start and end weights seperately... 218 lbs, UK size 20, December 2010. 129.2 lbs, UK size 8/10, January 2012.
