This made me laugh A LOT and it was very stress-alleviating. Thank you OP

Bumped for reference. Thank you for useful links!

I'm in! I have poor endurance in regards to ab exercise, would love to build that up

I want to bump this - My binging is not an emotional thing, it's a compulsive thing and it's really hard to control. It happens throughout the day and the solution APPEARS to be to not have any treats around but I have not practically applied this yet to see if it really is the solution. Edited to add that I definitely eat…

Thanks for caring!!! Must check out those sources; please give us more! Book recommendations too!

You would make some cat incredibly happy.

This post is very mean. All my cravings just awoke... Spicy nacho Doritos.

My weight loss goal is probably a lot lower but I've been at it for a month too, and the changes are crazy!! I used to get half of a regular push-up and now I can do sets of 5 no problem (I kick butt at girl push-ups haha). Squats too! 50 used to kick my butt and now I get 200 done!! Congrats on your own small…

I can't afford a gym membership either but my friends have let me use guest passes so I've been able to take some lifting classes and aerobics. Now I'm doing my own version of a circuit in my bedroom - takes anywhere from an hour to two hours to complete, depending on what I throw in the mix. I would say go to a circuit…

I would love to see rules for working out too, like "stretch before every session" or something. :/ These are great though! Will probably try to use them..

I would say, if it is a healthy snack like a carrot or a bite of my roommate's soup, no, I don't count it. But every naughty cookie that passes my lips gets recorded. It's like a punishment to myself. I still have my diary hidden though; the naughty snacks are embarrassingly recurrent ????

Comment is so I can reference this later. I have a friend who averages between 500-700 calories/day because her body has been in starvation mode for years due to anorexia/bulemia. She is terrified of eating more than that because of the immediate weight gain that is bound to happen. We have talked about it a lot, because I…

:[ Don't give up! How is your exercise program? If you've just started a new fitness/diet program, your body might need a little bit of time for adjustment. Give it another week and reevaluate. In any case I hope you find the answers you're looking for!

Done and it may have only been 40% freehand jump but I def did at least or over 100 squats. :O

To the OP, just saw this post a few lines down - check it out for more opinions. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/919091-tired-of-being-overweight-and-need-help-please

Just wondering how you know this. I have always wondered about high sugars too. Does it just affect my "sense of well-being," so to speak?

"Healthy replacements" just don't work for me at all. The cravings and habits just don't stop. The method I use to battle is by simply not buying sweets at the grocery store. I will lie to myself up and down the aisles saying that I will limit my intake, but in the end I try to make the decision to put the iced cookies…

Running with mace at night!!

I have a weighted hula hoop and I do it for a couple min every day for fun and seriously about 3 times a week!! I looove it.

A girl has got to cheat with sweets every once in a while! Thanks for the information! Pass the protein. Say under the carb. Let the fat fall. Drink water!! So eating clean doesn't necessarily mean only what comes immediately from the earth and directly off the pampered organic animals?

Bump

AUGH burpees

Done :] ow!! Leg lift was very hard!

Bumping to read later. I have this same problem; I am ALWAYS over in sugar.

Same here!! And it's crazy, it's like water helps with the cravings!!

Cocoa and milk, all the way!! And if you are having trouble cutting out the sweet, I would just cut down on the sweets first. Like 1 mug of hot chocolate as opposed to 3.

Anyone can add me; just include a message please!! I have tried MFP several times in the past, but never considered it as a social network til this time around. It is seriously so much more effective with others in the same boat working towards fitness and health!!

We are similar but current there is a gap. I am 23 (almost 24 haha), 156 down from 170. My goal is 145 but really looking to lose body fat!

I'll be your friend haha. I'm 23, working to a 145lb goal!
