feel free to add me ! I'm working on getting back in shape and do this new lifestyle nonstop .. good luck !!!

^^^ THIS IS GREAT ADVICE :) I, too, have suffered with an ED and I know I definitely have body dysmorphic disorder as well since I will literally agrue with my therapist about HOW MUCH weight I gain when my weight has stayed the same for the past 4 months. My belly fat is the thing that literally SHUTS me down and makes me…

YESS, they harass me as well because I have 0 blood type - the kind that can give to EVERYONE, but only receive from the same type of 0 blood types. I finally just fibbed to get them to stop calling me, but that was JUST this week. We'll see if that worked!

THAT IS EXACTLY my problem. I'm so scared I'll overeat in the day that I wont eat and end up starving at night. Meaning, I'll just eat something and keep going and just doesnt end well for me. I'm learning to control that. I chew a lot of gum, ALOT.

I'm 5'2 1/2 with my CW bw 123-126 and my GOAL weight is bw 110-115pds :) feel free to add for motivation and support! love my shorties :flowerforyou: and of course those lucky girlies who are taller ;)

we're already friends, but thought I let ya know I'm the same way!! I used to be OBSESSED w exercising a good amt with my million home workout videos, but after I got sick last month, I just lost it so now I'm struggling to get my exercising ability back to its peak point. Good thing I love to walk though haha We're push…

I love what you wrote, especially about emotionally eating. That is my problem as well when it comes to binge eating. I have a hard time dealing with sadness, stress, confusion [as in indecisiveness & afraid to make the wrong choice so I rather no make a choice] along with when I feel tired or bored, I dont know what to do…

yess thats EXACTLY how I feel. I'm 5'2 1/2 and I'm at about 123-126 and MY GOAL WEIGHT is between 112-115pds. I feel that'll suit my body since I was there before, and it looked good. I just hate how my extra weight is on my tummy :( But also, I dont know about others, but I feel like trying to lose like 10 pds on a small…

Binge normally strike because of emotional reasons, stress, or boredom ... It stinks because I wanna learn how to SIT with my feelings without feeding myself physical stuff and deal w. my mental stuff instead. The healthy way that is * Before a binge, I'll chew gum nonstop. One after the other, convincing myself I'm not…

I'm so proud of you and LOVED what you wrote!! I have a bunch of tips posted on my wall of options to do when I feel I'm going to go on a binge. The problem is, I feel like that once I start binging, I have to finish. I feel like if I dont, I am a failure at that. WHEN NOOOO, if I stop mid-binge, then I am a success & can…

Thanks sweetie :) That's EXACTLY how I feel - everyone says I look great and okay, I dont look horrible and its NOT a major difference that people may notice BUT I notice bc I put my clothes on and feel them tighter and thats just isn't cool ahha SOO only 11 pounds to get to 112-115pds for my goal weight and away from my…

pepperidge farm has a low carb style bread that is yummy and whole wheat :)

I was wondering that ques as well since I have a summer birthday. It is YOUR birthday afterall so I would decide what you want. Do you feel that having one piece of cake will sabotage all that you have done or that it'll lead to having more ? I think if you honestly want a cake, dont deprive yourself. But if you're just…

ME TOO!!! :)

I'm just trying to figure out which one would bloat my stomach as much since everyone says about the "beer gut" and never about a liquor gut haha ... i prefer vodka so I figured if I do half vodka, half diet sprite, I'm saving calories .. I think haha

ps: CHEERS TO THE FREAKING WEEKEND !!! :drinker:

yayyyyy !! reading this right now :) I was just writing in another forum about how I'm curious if drinking light beer makes a difference versus drinking vodka and a calorie free flavoring *

Same goals girly!! I have weddings this summer and I'm soo worried about the fun festivities that I'm trying to remember to HAVE FUN at them haha .. enjoy your birthday :)

May was a bit of a let down for me since I rarely got to the gym because I was sick and then made excuses :embarassed: BUT with JUNE, I plan on going to the gym at least 3-4 times a week or getting some type of workout in. I eat about 1356-1450 cals a day even w.o exercise since I'm trying the whole eat more, weigh less…

Funny that this is the topic since I was about to post a topic about this earlier .... I'm either sipping on one or two miller lites since they are 95 cals a bottle Im just confused as if light beer is better than having a mixed drink w vodka and calorie free flavoring so I'm going to give that a shot tomorrow. I normally…

bump

I'm 23 and going back to school soon! I graduated PSU w. bachelors and now still working in fields that ARENT what I graduated in persay :p ANYWHO, I'm all about supporting fellow MFP friends <3 And definitely understand how studying can get in the way of gym time etc. Best of luck on your studies !

Right now >> I feel horrible, sad/depressed/ a failure because I'm at my highest weight which ISN'T that high to others, but for my body frame, it just doesnt look great esp since its in the tummy area ya know?! I'm hoping once I drop the extra pds, I'll be back to feeling a LOT more confident and comfortable with my body

Yeah, but not as hardcore as I used to ... I need a new regime at the gym and get my butt back into a regular workout schedule *

glad to have added you :flowerforyou: I'm that type of person that will offer encouragement and whatever choice you do end up making, no judgements because its everyone's choice to do what they want. But I'll offer other options when things are getting rough and eating healthy or flubbing up, its always best to be honest…

Thanks ladies! :) I am also 5'2" as well! So its good to read that you're eating about 1400-1600 cals and still losing :) I redid some calculations and this is what I got from scooby website. It matches what you [missgreenwood] said about it being about 50 cals off. BMR: 1369` TDEE: 1643 Cut: 1314 So my goal of around…

oops posted too soon

So if my BMR is bw 1302-1376 and because I work at a sedentary type job, I have 1594 calories on that end. If I wanna lose weight, I should try eating 1400 calories - right in bw 1303-1594 ?? I upped my calories to 1365, but Im wondering if I should up them again ... Ive been hearing this works so I'm thinking of trying.…

So I have a question: Fit2Fat calculated my BMR between 1303 // 1376 and then because my job is a desk job and is sedentary, the calories for that is 1594 .. So to eat as if I lost the weight and TO LOSE the weight, do I eat around 1400 calories ??

omg thats so horrible, sorry you encountered that as well!!
