As a person who doesnt have a lot of self control. (Well hello that was a major contributer to why I need to lose weight in the first place) Having junk food around doesnt work for me as its never "just one cookie". It happens. Years ago when I still had a 24 inch waist, I was out with my cousin and she would not take no…

Yep I had fatigue for so many years and the doctors couldn't help me. None of them suggested a food intolerance but I stumbled on that idea myself, cut gluten and dairy out which was what gave me some intolerance symptons and the difference was amazing. It can't hurt to explore that possibility.

Keep plodding on. :) If you binge again stop and think about what is triggering it..for me it can be thirst, (I grab sweet stuff instead of hydrating). Also some foods trigger further binging behaviour. Some people can have small amounts of junk food and be fine. For me opening a crisps packet is the start of a binge…

Ill be interested to see what people think Id like to buy a pair too.

Back when I first started the impulse for me to finally start trying to lose weight was the swelling in my feet and ankles which was effecting my ability to walk around. My skin felt stretched and painful and my feet were like balloons it looked dreadful. I was going to take photos so I could do a before and after of my…

: D Edited to add coconut oil I buy the pure stuff for $10 a jar and it lasts forever if its just for hair.

Badly airbrushed arms in this shot but in the video she has great arms.

For those who havent looked at the video this is the 200 pound fitness instructer.

Hold on this is a apartment gym so no staff? And you left it in the gym unattended? So if someone found it were should they hand it in to?

Flaw in that whole plan is someones kid picks up the obviously discarded device and says to his mum on the treadmill "Whats this mum?" Then the mum being a good citizen takes the device and hands it to a equally innocent gym staff member who handles the same device to place it in the lost and found box. Yeah bad bad plan.…

Check out the long hair community forums as they really have great information on hair care. http://www.longhaircommunity.com/ I use coconut oil and I dont use shampoo at all, only condition only washes. I have definately seen an improvement in my hair.

<3 I love kale chips . And Ill check out that recipe. :)

Thats so good to hear. I am excited about seeing your updates. When you move past the controlling fear that often surrounds weight issues its a revelation.

Guys..don't forget to log it.

Wow ..save me from "friends"like you. Any other dirt you want to offload about him? Maybe mention his totally irrelevent sexuality in degoratory terms again? The trick when hurt is to process it offline so you dont make a permenant record of comments that you will regret later once you have cooled down.

I'm sorry but I am going to continue to defiantly wash my butt...:flowerforyou: I may even log it as a fat burning activity.

lol:drinker:

I would keep it on mind if I had a dog who didnt like someone I was dating. But dogs can have jealousy issues. Besides what if your dating a douche bag who smells like bacon? And as for cats... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYe1d5_LS0s

Magnesium, magnesium , magnesium, raw cacao in a smoothie, exercise, listen to uplifting music, pat something fluffy that loves you. (did I mention magnesium?)

:flowerforyou: :smile: :flowerforyou: :smile: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

Congrats guys. What you are doing is of real service to so many people. So thank you.

Dont forget as well if you body has nerve damage or any other type of damage it does want to heal that. That takes times and a lot of calories. Worst case scenerio - In working out where you need to be calorie wise if you do go over TDEE and put on weight its only going to be a small amount and will readjust when you…

If I wasnt such a lazy sod I would be about there. My TDEE is around 2400 without exercise.

Not everyone reports tiredness and I am still giving it some thought. I went straight to 15% TDEE and didnt start with a reset when I upped. So maybe its just the non reset people ? Its one of those things that people mention if they are tired but dont tend to post that they didnt go through a stage of tiredness if you get…

A banana smoothie with a scoop of protein powder BAM! 300 cals extra (or even more depending on how many bananas and what else you throw in) Problem solved with little food preperation and minimal planning. Bananas to be used in smoothies can be bought bulk on the cheap and thrown skin and all in the freezer. The skin will…

Well logically once you are at goal weight/body composition you will need to eat at maintenance which for you would be pretty near to your current TDEE wouldn't it? You may need to start practising some time. Just remember when the time comes, ....bananas = your friend! :)

I can't make a big calorie day unless I eat a huge breakfast. In fact I have two breakfasts (I think hobbits were on to something!) I never use to be able to eat in the morning. I am pretty busy during the day and often wont get time to eat again until the evening. So I get up early I have brown rice almost everyday as I…

That happened a few months ago before I switched to the EMTWL thinking. I thought it would be a good idea to let people know that there is more things to consider than just maximising your weight loss.

I've upped to 1990 -2100 and I aqm still losing, Its definately worked for me so far.
