  • Hm, you DO walk a lot. How do you feel after you eat a lot? I always felt so bad and lethargic which pushed me to stop. Also, you might want to examine what's going on in your life now that's making you want to eat. Sometimes when that issue is solved, the eating ceases to be a problem.

  • Seriously though..start with a basic walk, 25-45 min, 4-5 times a week. Either on the treadmill or around the neighborhood. You don't even have to power walk. Just walk normally. It gets you into a different mindset where your body feels stronger and lighter, and your whole perspective shifts. Good luck!!!

  • I had this problem too in the beginning of 2015. So many things going on with my life, my only salvation was going home and "eating my feelings". Around February, I was SO disgusted with myself I started 30 min nightly walks around my block, 4-5 times a week, and as I started to feel lighter, added weight training. I lost…

  • Thank you, that means a lot. I weight train (8-15 pound dumbbells), have started ab and oblique crunches with a medicine ball, and take nightly 30-45 min walks. I feel like I'm forever fighting the chub my body REALLY wants to be.

  • Wow, thank you all for so much feedback. I really appreciate it. It may be bloat. I have no loose skin issues. I have included a picture here from a few days ago...ignore the bras hanging, mess, etc. -- Jen

  • If your doctor isn't concerned about about it....I'd be concerned about the doctor, to be honest. To echo everyone else, 1200 calories is far too little to maintain a healthy adult body.

  • I love a good cheat day! : ) Mine are on Saturday, and they really help me stay focused during the week. Ironically, I usually end up eating less calories on my cheat day, since I find myself getting uncomfortably full rather quickly in the day. For me, the concept of a cheat day is not necessarily to eat bad food all day,…

  • I like cottage cheese straight from the container. But it's also GREAT on toast. Like, too great.

  • You can add me too : ) I am 36 and trying to lose 15 pounds. I originally lost 35 pounds back in 2008 and have kept off 20. The 15 pounds crept up on me last year. I have just gotten into spin class and I think that's really helping. -- Jen
