If you're lowering your carbs, make sure your meals pretty much look like, high fat, high protein, and lots of greens. e.g. avocados and nuts on salads full fat dairy eggs tofu And I do low carb as well, I'm vegetarian, and it's the fats that keep me from going mental without bread and stuff. On the upside, you can do full…

I bought a FitBit because I was curious to see what I burned during my serving shifts, because I didn't know whether to put myself in the "midly active" or "moderately active" category as far as TDEE was concerned.

Sorry, also, I'll add to that that most of the websites say my BMR is somewhere around 1300, but I lowered my MFP cal goal to 1000 because i had a feeling that the FitBit was giving me too many calories burned, so I was trying to even it out.

I know, I was shocked to see how many calories the FitBit said I burned during work, so it may be the case that I was under eating before.

Here's what I did, and it's working damn well so far: I just said to myself, "ONE. day. I'll go just ONE day without bingeing." Not restricting, and you probably shouldn't even count calories (although I did). Then, on that same day, get a little bit of moderate exercise. Nothing crazy. If you can finish out that one day,…

Way to go, sweetie :) the longer you can keep it up, the easier it will get!

@ elledeery alexis bledel!

An updated version of Cinderella. :)

oh my god you're incredible! congrats!

^^ this.

After a while on this site, I've learned to just ignore the MFP sugar allowance. You have a banana and a few grapes and you're over. Really, don't worry about it. As long as the sugar is coming from healthy sources, and it's naturally occurring sources, you'll be fine. Promise. :wink:

Awesome, thanks, that gives me a couple more ideas :)

I've been trying really hard to shoot for this, but being vegetarian I'm finding it pretty difficult. On my list are: eggs, avocado, nuts, butter, coconut and MCT oils, and greens, and full fat yogurt and cottage cheese. I know it's a long shot, but can anybody think of anything else to add to the list?

After 3 days of going absolutely insane trying to figure out this calorie thing, I think I'm just gonna go with this ^ . :ohwell:

Very nice *ahem* chest area.. :wink:

There's actually a group on here that's just for people battling binge eating, just search "binge" in groups. I'm part of it, feel free to add me if you want, I'm always around for support! Also I'll recommend two things which have been helping me: 1. The book "Brain Over Binge" 2. "The Quit Binge Eating" Podcast Hope…

I don't log spices, or little nibbles here and there. But I've learned to start logging my coffee, even though i take it black, it's still, 5 calories I think for 2 cups, and i usually have 4 throughout the day. I figure there are a few calories in the spices I use, so I might as well log one of the two just because I…

10 for sure!

Welcome! Feel free to add me if you want!

Feel free to add me, sweetie, and message me when you get an urge!

Hey Twin! age 28 5'4" and a half HW: 145 LW: 114 CW: 120 GW: 116 Wanna be friends?

I scored a 34, sounds about right.

That's EXACTLY how my mind works. In fact, I had a half a muffin with a friend at starbuck's today and logged it, and immediately went into the "well, you're screwed now.." mindset. I'm struggling with it as we speak. I try my best to remember, that, at the end of the day, going over by 200 cals is better than going over…

I'm in! EDIT: I just installed it, but I'm not really up to posting this stuff to facebook. lol. I wonder if there's a way to share it on here?

I've always loved food, and never worried *too* much about what I was eating. When I joined MFP to lose 7 pounds for a trip to Mexico, I found this site to be the most helpful thing. I lost that 7 without too much problem, and ended up going below my goal weight. That's where things went south. During christmas break I…

Skinny Cow Truffle bars.. only 100 calories and they do the trick for an ice-cream/chocolate addict like me!

Did you start drinking more water before, during, or after running? Will try breathing deeper as well thank you!
