I do fasting a few days a week, and I have one day a week where I eat what I want (within limits). This has worked for me, as I have lost 25 lb since July 1. It helps because I know I can have what I want that one day, and then the fasting kind of compensates for it. Also I do feel better when I don't eat much. I think it…

Thanks so much for your response!! It makes me feel better that I am not the only one who still does this. My dietician also had me on Carnation for a while, but I have been back and forth between that and ensure. I don't take them often, but some of the medicine that my doctor prescribed me for anxiety makes me extremely…

I think maybe i is just the bike that does that, because my HRM won't work when I am on the bike at my gym either. My chest strap syncs with the bike, but the HRM watch goes screwy and tracks my HR at like 295... I just use the number that the machine gives me at the end of the ride.

Thanks Rachel :)

For a long time I did prefer it, but I think it was because I didn't have the experience of how good life can be without it. For the first 6-9 months after I got out of ED rehab, life really sucked, but after I hit the year mark of no purging, things have gotten better. About 3 months ago I had a slip and purged, and it…

Hey, I am also a recovered bulimic and I completely understand how hard it can be to figure out what is healthy for YOU. I am still on my journey and finding out what works for me. I have been losing weight recently in a healthy way, and I know that the majority of my calories come from the massive amounts of protein that…

Thanks so much.. yall are right, i should start cleaning the equipment before I use it. I got some stuff from target by neutrogena that is like a spray, with the salicyclic acid in it, made specifically for body acne issues. Haven't used it yet, but praying this will be my solution.. :)

I think that maybe it would be good to wait a little while before trying to lose weight, at least until you have been able to stop purging. That is what my therapist/dietician advised me to do, even though I was overweight. It is not possible to lose weight in a "healthy way" if we are still using ED behaviors. With lots…

I had the same question when I started out. What I found works well for me is to wear a heart rate monitor with chest strap, because it will sync with any cardio machine I am on. Then program my info into the machine (which it asks you to do), and then I use the number the machine gives me. Machines can be tricky if you…

@staticky: Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Jess: Great body, I think your abs/flat stomach are fabulous.

Also "Hint of lime Tostitos" , and guacamole... that is the other one I can't resist.

Cheetos Naturals White Cheddar Puffs... Best thing ever, and I use a food scale for everything, and one serving of these is almost a full bowl bc they are so fluffy. I see a full bowl and it makes me feel like I am cheating, even though it is only a 28g. 150 cal serving.

I weigh everyday, because it helps to keep me accountable. It is EXTREMELY easy for me to lose motivation to eat healthy and "cheat" on my meal plan, so the instant accountability is a huge deal. I know that weight can fluctuate a little day to day, but as long as I am seeing a pretty consistent downward trend, I know I am…

This is similar to me. I started 9/7/12 at 266.6, now I am down to 258.6... that's 8lb in about 11 days.

5'5. SW:266= Size 20, sometimes 18.

LA... Lower alabama :)

Or they could have just deleted their account...

Thanks everybody. I don't like the answer, but I will take it because I just want to get this weight lost. I have a sportline with a chest strap, is that a good brand??

Raise your glass- Pink (glee version) We are Young- Fun and any songs that make me emotional, because that is how I push myself, by channeling the emotions.

I have noticed several restaurants in my area doing that, and it is very appreciated.. I tend to eat at them more often if the info is easily accessible.

I think it would be a really good idea to keep eating the same way for maybe a week and just track it all, just to find out what the difference is in calories, as well as what kinds of food you are eating. Awareness is the first step to getting things accomplished. If you are ravenously hungry on 1320, maybe it isn't the…

I'm up at 4 everyday and at the gym by 5, so I can TOTALLY understand that struggle. What really helped me transition was having accountability. I started meeting a girl at the gym and we worked out together and we call each other every morning to make sure we get up and go. Today I went without her because she decided to…

add me... I am new to this site, and need some friends :) I am on 1200 per day.

I have 6 meal options in my tracker when I go to rename them. That is really odd if it isn't letting you do it. I clicked on Food, then Settings, and that is where the rename option is and there should be 6 slots.
