Kids From Yesterday - My Chemical Romance

If you want to quit, you're going to just have to take a pain killer and ride out those headaches. They shouldn't last long. They might not even be as severe if you ween yourself off the drinks.

I hate this, too. I'm starting to feel like social networking sites just aren't for me, because apparently I'm not bubbly enough or feel the need to share what kind of cereal I ate for breakfast.

Good gosh, yes. I'm very introverted and it's hard for me to keep up in conversations, but when I do manage, I feel like the other person just talks over me and or isn't really paying attention to my side of the conversation. I also HATE when people interrupt me. I've been told a lot to get over it, because it's just…

Glad to have found this group! ❤ Starting weight: 147.3 lb. ❤ Goal weight: 137 lb.

I've tried a lot of dairy free cheeses. I really think Daiya is the best and is well worth the price, in my opinion. I've tried Follow Your Heart and Galaxy Nutritional Brand cheeses, and while they taste alright, they don't melt very well and can sometimes have a weird aftertaste. This might be of some help to you though.…

I'm limited to low-impact exercises at home as well, but have found that it's not as restrictive as it seems. Right now, I'm doing 30DS, but modify the high-impact cardio moves. Instead of all that jumping, I'll do modified jumping jacks, side steps while raising my arms, punches, etc. I also do kickboxing DVD's, but don't…

I'm doing 30DS as well as kickboxing. It's hard at first, but I found that just after a couple of days, it got easier and I didn't feel like I was about to drop dead. My muscles stopped aching and I felt like I had enough energy to power through the rest of my workout. I take 2 rest days, Monday and Wednesday, because I…

Brushing up on Killing Floor right now.

I feel bad for both of you. I hope you don't resent him or think he's disgusting by his crying and all. The poor thing probably has very deep abandonment issues. He's got an insecure attachment which is why he seems obsessed. There's nothing you can do to ease his pain. I know people in this thread said his threat to kill…

If you can find it in an international market, look for authentic asian tofu. You can find it already prepared somewhat, sometimes plain, sometimes already seasoned. I don't like tofu very much, but I do like adding silken tofu to smoothies or making pies and pastries with it. You can also use it to make yogurt. My best…

Why not bake your own? There are plenty of healthy cookie recipes out there that use healthier flours and alternative sweeteners like agave or maple syrup.

Chances are that those who are congratulating others on eating 300 calories have ED's, too. This site is open for everyone, so I say just delete or ignore them if it bothers you. Chances are they don't want to be involved with people who don't have ED's anyway. (Speaking from experience as someone with an ED.)

I've been stuck in a rut for a long time. As soon as I got into a healthy weight range, I stopped losing. I didn't know if changing my goal to 1/2 lb/week would help or hinder getting over this plateau though.

Thanks everyone for the advice and support. I appreciate all of your suggestions and encouragement. :) I have been to the doctor who said I'd probably never be able to do anything high-impact. I've been trying to stick to low-impact workouts that are within my means (no access to pool or gym right now), but walking and…

Well, I don't think it's very healthy to eat white rice and potatoes without balancing it out with fruit and other vegetables. That's all I meant. Because I haven't been able to afford anything more, my diet has basically been potatoes, white rice, and bread. The amount of carbs I've consumed has been unbelievably high as…

It isn't always cheaper. I think it depends on how much money you have and how many people you have to feed. These past few months, we've been struggling a lot to feed my family of 3 on just one income. At times, we really did have to settle for unhealthy, but cheaper things just to get by; e.g. white bread was on sale for…

I live in Gwinnett County. It's hot and humid, as usual. I feel like this is going to be an exceptionally hot summer. I'm not looking forward to it, as my A/C in my car and in my house is broken. :(

Definitely. My A/C broke and it's been about 84°F inside. I find that my hunger diminishes a lot. If not, I tend to just want to eat something light like a salad, a tomato sandwich, or gazpacho.

I've reread this thread and there are many, many different opinions here. To me, a binge doesn't have anything to do with calories. It's about the mindset. I binged once on about 500 calories. Some wouldn't consider that a binge, but if you saw me in my "trance", pacing the kitchen, eating everything left and right without…

This. ^^^ I actually saw a show where the parents of these kids were very militant, never allowing them any sweets or chips. Hell, most of their meals were boring salads, plain oatmeal, etc. The show brought in a nutritionist, who sat down with the parents and told them that if they deprive them entirely of "treats" when…

Yeah, I feel this way too. It's been a year for me and I still don't have myself in gear. It's just so hard to stay motivated when nothing has worked. I feel doomed to be stuck at this weight forever.

Thanks very much for the lengthy explanation. I think I get it a little more now.

This ^ ^ ^

Great job! You look great! Any advice for those 5-10 lb. away from our goal weight? How'd you manage to lose that last bit of weight?

We don't have a grill either. I just put them in a skillet, cover them and cook about 5 minutes, flip them and then cook another 5 or so minutes.

bumping for answers

I want to lose 2 lb. and/or 2 inches total by the end of March.

I'm looking for friends too! :)
