  • i recently joined a gym. Prior to joining the gym, my main excercise consisted of the activity I get at work (hospital), changing elevator usage to stairs, and doing some strength training at home with weights. My first day at the gym two weeks ago I walked the treadmill for about 40 minutes at a pace of about 4 miles an…

  • i am proud of you for not beating yourself up for your binge. You look great in your pic, so no worries :) Keep your weigh in day..I doubt one binge is going to alter those numbers too much...and if you only weigh once a month...your numbers will be good anyway!!!

  • omg! this post was so timely!! i have been freaking out over a 6lb weight gain in the past 3 days!!! I have eaten no different, but have been doing weights daily for the past month...could it "all of a sudden" cause weight gain? I know muscle weighs more than fat...but this is ridiculous. I tried to drink more water…

    in What To Do After A Binge... Comment by mylifex2 December 2011
  • Oh, how I can identify with a lot of the comments here. I absolutely HATE it when people comment on my weight loss...did I look so bad before???? I don't think it is appropriate to ask someone how much weight they have lost...I also hate when people ask me how i did it....I know they mean well, but I have struggled with…

  • didn't log today because I mostly just snacked here and there...for dinner i focused on turkey and raw vegetables...as a snack later at home i ate a very small plate of some various items...i would guesstimate by calorie total to be around 800 for the day...a little more than i usually eat, so not so bad for thanksgiving.

  • good to see you here! I also had lost a significant amount of weight (60 lbs) before coming on this site. I enjoy using this site to keep tabs on what is going into my mouth...It helps me stay accountable. I have more to lose and enjoy the support of others on this site. Reading their stories and seeing progress pictures…
    in More the merrier! Lost 95 lbs "elsewhere" now using this coo Comment by mylifex2 November 2011
  • still trying to figure this one out lol...I think I will try and eat mostly from the veggie tray, and have some turkey. If i want to eat anything else, I will put just one bite of each thing I want. My goal is to stay in control. I don't want to feel bad the next day. It's not worth it to me, no matter what the holiday. I…

  • I can completely understand your struggle. I don't think it's your friend you have the problem with. I think that, if you are like me, food and weight have been a huge issue in your life. It means the world to you to be successful. You are probably more determined than ever and just want to be able to celebrate your…

  • ps.. ask your doctor about wellbutrin ....its pretty safe unless you have a history of seizures, then you shouldn't take it...it really has made a difference I think....a friend of mine switched her antidepressant to wellbutrin a month ago and has lost 10 lbs...its not a diet drug, but it does something...
    in Dilemma Comment by mylifex2 November 2011
  • Yeah, you shouldn't have to adjust to feeling hungry...that's not fair, YET, that is how I feel as well. I actually don't really get hungry much anymore unless I am getting ready to start. My problem comes into play when I get bored and don't stay busy (which rarely happens in my life). I save most of my calories for…

  • First of all, I bet you are more active than you think with 4 kids...you also probably go grocery shopping each week, trips to target or walmart, etc. Every bit helps. But I hear you saying you aren't losing any weight. Perhaps drop your calories just by 100 a day and see what happens. Maybe because you are so sedentary…

  • Tonight I ate dinner with my kids. I ate from all the food groups. I actually allowed myself to enjoy my dinner even though I went a little over my calorie goal for this meal. I am still restricting, but today I actually allowed myself to be more nourished. I did compensate with some excercise, but nothing stringent.…
