4 days binge free. Today will be 5, which is usually my max. I don't know what it is, I can go 5 days no problem, but then on day 6 I lose all willpower. So I guess I'll have to be extra careful tomorrow. In fact, I have the most predictable binge pattern ever (Sunday is always day 6 and I binge terribly, which bleeds into…

Hi. I just joined this group and am reading through the threads. I could've written this. Shame and disappointment. Yes, I hate the weight gain and the inevitable stomachache and I cringe to think about the thousands of dollars I have wasted buying food to shovel down my throat, but the worst is how let down I feel about…

I'm 28 and have about 10 pounds until I'm at my goal weight. Feel free to add me!

Sounds familiar, I made it to my goal weight, maintained it for almost a year, and then the creep started. I'm now up almost 15 pounds and determined to get back on track. I'll send a friend request!

I'm in Oklahoma too! 28 and married, no kids. Feel free to add me!

First two weeks were a struggle, but now I'm sort of getting into the routine. I think in the so far I'm down a total of 3 pounds, which I'm pleased with. I also feel like I might be seing some muscle definition.. but it also might just be wishful thinking :) It definitely is work though. And Sundays are always my hardest…

I ordered my dress about 2 months ago, and basically did the same thing. I was in between two sizes, and was told to get the larger size and then plan on taking it in slightly. I opted to go with the smaller size because I knew I wanted to lose a few pounds anyway. 2 months later I have lost zero pounds (I think I've…

I had a rough day 2 as well. I did great all day and got in an awesome workout at lunch (bootcamp offered by my work), and then I got home and proceeded to eat half the contents of the pantry. Nothing I ate was particularly unhealthy (toast, PB, yogurt, fruit, popcorn, etc), but it was just way too much. I'm feeling tired…

Hi! My wedding is Sept 6, 2014. So I think we're in the same boat! I'd love to join. I'm taking engagement photos in 37 days, so this will be perfect! My current goals are to avoid sugar/dessert, to run 3-4x a week, and to start doing some sort of strength training 2-3x a week (going to the store tonight to browse workout…

Hi! I'm Ashley and I got engaged in November 2013 and will be getting married this September. I've been a member of MFP for years, and by some stroke of luck hit my goal weight right around the time I got engaged. Unfortunately, after a little too much celebrating, the holidays, and the fact that I work insane hours every…

October 7, 2013 Me - 4 The Binge - 0 Overate, but didn't binge - 2

August 2013 Me - 4 The Binge - 1

August 2013 Me - 3 The Binge - 1 But.. my one binge wasn't as bad as usual. So that's something..

April 2013 Me - 7 The Binge - 2 (4/3, 4/7) Almost completely lost it yesterday. Was at Walgreens buying buckets of ice cream and candy and then thought "No, this isn't what I want to do" put itall down, and left. That feels like a really big step.

April 2013 Me - 2 The Binge - 0 March was a really bad month for me so I stopped keeping track. I binged like a fiend and gained five pounds in the process. I'm starting April fresh and determined to get back in control of my life and binge less than 5 times total throughout the month. Also, I'd like to lose most of those…

This is my problem exactly. I hate the way I feel after a binge, and sometimes even during, but I get a little bit excited when I mentally decide to give in to a binge. The thought of all of the delicious things I'm about to eat is weirdly a happy thought. I need to figure out how to get rid of that feeling, because it…

3/11/13 - March Challenge Me - 7 The Binge - 3 (3/3, 3/8, 3/10) Sundays continue to be my nemesis.

March Challenge - 3/8/2013 Me - 6 The Binge - 1 (3/3)

March Challenge - 3/7/2013 Me - 5 The Binge - 1 (3/3)

March 2013 - 3/6/2013 Me - 4 The Binge - 1 (3/3)

March 2013 - 3/5/2013 Me - 3 The Binge - 1 Goal for March is to beat February (fewer than 7 binges).

What's your name? Ashley Where do you live? Oklahoma What are your food vices/ cheats? Sugar (particularly ice cream and candy), red wine, bread What do you think is holding you back from being in your TOP shape? I have a tendency to let my guard down and binge eat on sugar, sugar, and more sugar. Also, I get lazy about…

Me - 19 The Binge - 6 February's almost over and I'm determined to finish 22-6!!! I have a big event Saturday night (and a very fitted dress) and I'm determined not to be sad and bloated for it.

February Me - 18 The Binge - 6 Last week was really bad for me. I struggled pretty much every day and even on the days I didn't binge I ate more than I should've. But I've been feeling in control since last Thursday, so I'm hopeful to finish the month on a good note.

Me - 13 The Binge - 4 10 days left in February... can I go 24-4??

Haven't checked in in a while.. vacation and then some post vacation bingeing and then valentines.. so I'm not exactly proud of this. Me - 10 The Binge - 4 Blah.

Me - 4 The Binge - 1 Very stressful day at work yesterday and got home to find my bf had brought me a giant bag of my favorite candy. I was very tempted to dive head first into it and eat it all, but settled on a reasonable serving and then let him comfort me rather than comforting myself with sugar. I feel happy today.

My binges almost always happen at night. I think part of it's the fact that I'm tired and part of it is that I've been resisting ALL day and I just can't resist any longer. I think it helps when I do something in the evenings besides watching TV (reading a book, cleaning the house, etc.) and also brushing my teeth, putting…

Me - 3 The Binge - 1 Didn't have a perfect yesterday, but didn't let myself binge either.
