starting today, 9/5! Ashley- 0 The Binge - 0

you obviously didn't read my comment, or you did and you don't understand English. I love how you find something wrong in EVERY single thing I post, but like I said-- Ive only begu\n to restrict my calories YESTERDAY. this sleep issue has been going on for TWO YEARS even when I was consuming 3000 calories a day. YOURE not…

very helpful!! thank you!

Marathon runners/ long distance cardio people-- This has been the case for about 2 years now, but on days when I have my long runs (10+ miles) I have trouble falling asleep at night (regardless of diet, whether I eat a lot, a little, healthy or unhealthy) -- is this the case for any of you?

exactly!! the positive support and genuine interest on this thread is really encouraging. Some people are giving great advice and asking questions too, which is exactly what I want

Hi, this is actually one of the main issues I wanted to discuss-- I've never tried doing any resistance training, or HIIT. Ive only done cardio, lots of it. How would you recommend I start with weight training? The people at the gym lifting always intimidate me lol

hi, could you please elaborate? I would love to hear your advice about meeting a daily fats goal-- after all I've only had breakfast so far. I'm trying to balance my calories between protein and carbs, with a little bit of fat. Thanks!

youre entitled to your opinion, youre free to believe what you want :) If you don't think I'm real/ sincere, by all means, please continue! :) I enjoy your feedback thanks!

Day 2: 9.5.13 Woke up feeling good, although dehydrated-- drank lots of water Stepped on the scale and was pleasantly surprised by the number (I won't post it yet because I dont want to focus on the number-- I'll post later in a few days because I know most of this weight is water weight that came off.) 8 am-- bowl of…

Hi Lora! thanks for the advice :) I just like the thread because anyone can see it and chime in, and Im looking for a broad base of opinions here, as well as sharing experiences with anyone interested and also hoping others will share their experiences too. I dont intend on creating any drama, as Im not going to mention…

thank you! I defnitely think abs are made in the kitchen. Hopefully my change in diet will help me change my body

Hello! Many of my friends ask me the same question-- how do you run so much? Running may seem like a daunting activity, and there definitely are days when I don't want to, but when I was in high school I played several team sports and ran an average of 2 hours a day. After graduating, I wanted to stay active and saw…

It is pretty low, I guess I'll see how I feel tomorrow and eat when I get hungry

Thanks! Do you mind if I post some of the info you sent me? I think others could benefit from learning about your experience :)

welcome aboard!! feel free to add your info too! You can talk about your daily food intake, exercise, mood, weight loss, etc just like I did if you want :)

I guess I'll find out! I'll let you know when i get hungry and what I eat to satiate my hunger :)

thank you!! Sometimes you just can't let people get you down :) I created a third thread because I still do want to keep helping people by sharing what I learn, in case you are still interested.

thank you :) I wouldnt have made a third thread, but I was encouraged by the number of people actually interested in it, so here goes! You've been very kind :) good luck with your fitness journey too! Stay in touch

valid question-- I am addicted to sugar and consume most of my calories in chocolate, candy, chips, and empty carbs. I have a very unhealthy diet which is why i gained weight in spite of my training. this is my journey to get healthy and lose weight

Bless your heart <3

thank you! What a lovely person :) I just started my 3rd thread and hopefully people dont misunderstand. Again, thank you for the encouragement! Thank god some people understood what I was trying to get across

Day 1: 9/4/13 150 pounds egg white omelette (200 cal) large salad with tuna (500-600 cal) 2 chocolate chip muffins (couldnt resist).. (400 cal) ran 9.3 miles I know With this much exercise, I should eat more today, but I feel great and energetic and I listen to my body when it tells me its hungry or not, so for today this…

i cant tell if that was a genuine comment (if so, thank you) or if that was a sarcastic comment towards me.. because if it is, I responded to every negative comment in my thread with a "thank you for your input" "Yes, I acknowledge its an unrealsitic goal"

im actaully glad you created this, because i realized people FIXATED on the wrong thing-- about 80 % of users understood that my purpose was to keep marathon training and document my weight loss progress as i shifted my diet towards a healthy one. the number was arbitrary and I mentioned several times that it was…

SURE IS ;) STAY TUNED I dont give up
