March Challenge: Me- 3 Binge- 1 (3/2)

Congrats to those who did fabulous this month! Me: 23 Binge: 5 I'm going out of town this weekend, and I will not binge!!!!!!!!

I'm determined to finish the rest of the month binge free! Me: 21 Binge: 5

Doing better. Me: 19 Binge: 5 I'm so ready for the new month!

It's just so frustrating, you know? I need to stop focusing on how the binges keep interrupting my hard work because I think it just makes me want to binge more. My problem is thinking how I could've, should've, would've looked by now if it wasn't for those darn binges. Before my vacation, I was actually making really good…

Jeez, what is my problem?! Why am I having such a hard time getting back on track? My vacation ended Tuesday, I did well on Wednesday, and binged last night. It's like I'm unconsciously rebelling against getting back into my routine. All the hard work and results I gained over the past 2 months have been ruined by these…

One thing I learned while on vacation was that I still have major issues with binging. Something comes over me and I just cannot stop. I ate so much last Fri, though, that I got sick the next day and didn't eat much that day. The rest of my vacation was just one big binge fest ugh :/. I'm so glad to be back and on routine.…

I'm doing a lot better but a little worried about going on vacation tomorrow. However, I think I'll change to maintenance for the week of my vacation. I just hope I don't overcompensate and lose control like I have before when I increase to maintenance. I'll be going out of town and am hoping to do a lot of activities that…

I have 3 more lbs to get to my goal and can tell you that it is not easy to lose those last few lbs! With a lot of will and determination, it can be done. I still have some bad days of eating, but I don't give up! You've gone this far in 7 months, and you can do it. I don't know what you do for exercise, but when I was…

Great Job! Going to bed helps me too since my binge cravings usually occur at night.

As of 2/11: Me-9 Binge-1 (2/1)

I have had a really good week and feel today will be binge free thanks to the support of you all in this thread. Me: 9 Binge: 1

Do we really need to nit pick this board? I wrote this in a hurry at work. I meant: but I assume it's never good when someone else's husband gives you his number............................in this manner. (i.e. through FB messaging or privately). Excuse me for not making that clear. I apologize. I know that someone else's…

I over-ate so much this weekend and actually binged (I didn't log it all because it was bad) on Friday. It'd been almost a whole month since I had binged last. Ugh, and it's so hard to get back on track after a couple of bad days, but I'm trying. Me: 4 Binge: 1 (2/1)

Holy Moly!! You look fabulous!! What an inspiration you are!

Not a good start to Feb., but I'm moving on. Me: 2 Binge: 1 (2/1)

San Angelo, TX here! I've got a couple (literally) more lbs to lose to get to my ultimate weight loss goal, and then I transfer my focus to maintenance. Feel free to add me. :smile:

Me: 30 Binge: 1 (1-6) This is my best since starting these challenges!! I've learned so much about myself and my connection with binge eating. Learning how to deal with my feelings and the triggers have helped me to keep the binge a little more at bay. Now I'm ready for the Feb. challenge. Bring it on!!!

My favorite is strawberry Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt with fruit on the bottom. This one has 80 cals, 12g of protein, and 6g of sugar. Once, I accidentally bought Dannon Oikos Greek nonfat yogurt with blueberry on the bottom and that has 130 cals, 12g of protein and 19g of sugar!! You gotta be careful with the sugars.

Look at those abs! You look amazing!

I hear ya. I've had to stop and ask myself what a binge is to me as opposed to just overeating. Only you know yourself, and everyone has different opinions of what a binge is to them. A binge to me may or may not be a binge to you. That's why I think Mollie doesn't outline the binge when she begins these challenges…

WOW! Great job!

January 30th: Me-28 Binge-1 Edited to add: I thought I had been doing so well with making great progress at decreasing my binges dramatically. I was finally right on track to getting to my Ultimate goal weight for my bday, but when I weighed myself last night, I was a couple lbs heavier. I was back to what I was around the…

Don't be so hard on yourself, You're still beating the binge and that is great progress. Let's all challenge ourselves to finish the rest of the month binge-free!!

Crash diets don't work for me as well. If I go a few days with very low calorie amts, all kinds of cravings hit me hard and that's when I start binging. I'm still working on being able to enjoy food without losing control, though. You're doing really well! 23 days bing free is an awesome feat :)

Bump for more info! Looking into buying one or the other.

Close call Friday and did better the rest of the weekend. Me: 26 Binge: 1 (1/6) Assuming I have no more binges this week, this will be the best record I've had since starting these challenges!!!!!!

Yikes! Yesterday was a close one. I've had the ugly binge monster hovering over me all week. I've been known to use the weekend as an excuse to lose control of my eating. Also, if I'd eaten a big meal early and didn't leave much room for the rest of the day, I used to give in and ruin the rest of the day. BUT I went to the…

You've gotten out of the cycle before and you can do it again. We all believe in you and support you! You have a great day as well.

Struggling and fighting the urge. I will not let the Binge defeat me...... After doing so well for 2 weeks, the urge hits me hard. It's a pattern I've noticed for the past few months. I don't know why it occurs, but it's around every 2 weeks. It used to be every week before doing these challenges, so I know it's gotten…
