Pizza with lots of cheese and/or chocolate chip ice cream. Not sure which is more my favorite though.

I agree with some of the other posters. If you're looking for some dvds to do at home, I would also suggest Leslie Sansone. She's easy to follow and low impact, but you will work up a good sweat and if you do them regularly, you will see some results. I used to have her routines on my cable TV channel but they took them…

Don't get down on yourself. You are doing a great job. I remember the first time I did the elliptical - I was on it for a few minutes and thought I was going to die. Now I use it three days or four days a week and I alternate with the bike, treadmill and cardio classes. It does get easier. Keep up the good work - you are…

First of all, Happy Birthday to you, and congratulations on such an amazing weight loss. I was laughing to myself about what you said about not feeling guilty. Last night I had a debate with myself about whether or not I wanted to go to the gym and was feeling really guilty about not wanting to go. But guess what, I took a…

GOOD FOR YOU!!! That is such a great accomplishment. I am so happy for you. You should be so proud of yourself. Enjoy those new jeans!!

You shouldn't be disappointed at all. You should be proud of your accomplishment. You ran and completed a 5K. That is an amazing accomplishment. Way to go!!!

What an amazing transformation. You should be so proud of yourself. Keep up the great work!!!

I have a cheat meal every week, usually on Friday. I try to be real good all week and have my 2 slices of pizza and maybe some wings on Friday. I have been losing weight pretty regularly while doing this. I get back to eating good on Saturday. I look forward to my Friday pizza, and so far it hasn't caused me a problem with…

I will definitely continue to keep logging in and keeping track. I reached my goal a while ago, stopped logging in and being accountable for what I was eating. It was amazing how quick the weight starting creeping back. I really need a place to be accountable for what I'm eating. I guess I'm weak, so I'm back again working…

Hello All - I would really like to join your group, if that's ok. My goals for February are to log my calories more regularly, drink more water and more importantly to get my butt in gear. If there's anyone out there who would like to give me a swift kick in the butt to keep me in line, please feel free to do so. Have a…

Wow, what a tremendous accomplishment. You should be so proud of yourself. Thanks for sharing.

Hi all. I'm 57 and could use some 50+ friends. I've been on MFP for a while. Lost a decent amount of weight, gained some back, and now trying again to lose it again, once and for all.

I would definitely go back to the doctor again to be checked. I had a similar situation. I had a painful knee when I ran. I went to one doctor who took an x-ray and said he saw nothing. He said to cut back on the cardio for a while. I tried that and it didn't work. I went to another doctor (an orthopedic) who sent me for…

My husband had this problem. He went to a foot doctor who gave him a calf stretching boot that he sleeps in every night. He also had a procedure done where they took some of his blood out in a vial, then put the blood in a machine which removed the platelets and some other things, then injected the blood into the area of…

I had an apico twice on the same tooth. It was a back molar. I had a root canal first and then a few years later starting having problems with the tooth. I had an apico and then about a year later it started acting up again. I had another apico and about 6 months later it started acting up again. Finally, they decided to…

I've had three or four of them. The after pain wasn't so bad. My oral surgeon suggested taking the pain medication once I got home before the novicane wore off, which I did, and that helped. If you wait until the novicane wears off before you take it, you will have to wait for the medicine to kick in. You will probably be…

Congratulations. You should be so proud of yourself. Keep up the wonderful work.

Mollie - What is TOPS? I don't think I've ever heard of it. It's really amazing to realize that there are so many of us struggling with this evil binge problem. It's good to know that you are not alone and have the support of other members here. I just wish I could figure it out and stop the binging once and for all. I…

Melissa - Don't beat yourself up. You had one bad day. Don't think about the bad day, think about the last few good days you've had. Put yesterday behind you since you can't change it, and start again today. Good luck. Also, just to let you know that you are not alone. I had one HORRIBLE day myself yesterday. I was so, so…

Hi everyone. I haven't been here for a while and I just read some of the things that were posted recently. I'm happy to see some of you going one, two and even three days without binging. I am so happy for you guys. I know how hard it is to accomplish that. I still have good days and bad days. I wish there was a happy…

Welcome back. You took the first step by logging on here. Try to take it one day at a time. (I know that may be easier said than done - I know, because I'm struggling with it each day), but just know you did it before and YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN. Good luck to you and remember there are people here to help you. Maybe you can…

Bettany - welcome. I know how hard binge eating can be on a person. I've been there and am still struggling. If you need someone to lean on, give me a yell. Mollie - How does OA work on line? Is it like a chat room? Do you find it helpful?

Robin - Welcome. Good job on your day of no binging. We all know that sometimes it's not as easy as it sounds. Keep up the good work, and take it one day at a time.

Diane - So sorry to hear about your cat. I will be going through a similar experience soon. My dog of 15 years is suffering from kidney failure. Mrs. B - Hope you are back on track. You did so well and I know you can do it again. Even though I don't know you guys personally, I do think about all of you on this site…

Good job dianeg! What you're doing sounds like a great idea. I'm going to try your method and see if it works for me. What do you do to keep your mind and body away from all the sweets? Keep up the good work.

Hi all. I haven't checked in for a while. I havent had too many good days recently so I didn't even log in. I'm getting so disappointed with myself and am beginning to wonder how I ever even lost the 18 pounds that I did lose. Sometimes I feel like such a loser. But anyway, I am SO GLAD to you see how well some of you are…

That is so, so great!!! Keep up the excellent work!!

Great Job Mrs.B. Keep up the great work. What are you doing to stay away from the binging? Whatever you're doing, keep it up. I'm so happy for you.

Fitnessgal13 - great post. I can totally relate to the "robot" mode that you talk about. It's like something takes over in your body and mind. It's hard to explain to someone unless it's someone who has also experienced it. I wish you luck in your journey to be healthy. The people on this site are so, so helpful and…

Tbfree - great job on not binging. Keep up the great work.
