Lamictal/lamotrigine is one of the medications I was on when my skin rash started. A lot of you guys suggested it and I kind of want to go back to it but is the skin rash going to get worse when I get back on it? :/ It's really disgusting, but if that helps keep the weight down I kind of want to ask to get back on it…

The way you lay out things makes a lot of sense. Regardless of why I'm over eating, gaining weight over ingesting piles of sugar is the obvious reason why I'm like this now. Also, I can totally go to a doctor, I have this skin rash that got infected that I need to check out anyway. I'll ask them to check my blood sugar! I…

See, that's the thing... I've been eating like this for a long time now. Midnight munchies... actually all day munchies. I feel like I'm eating less now that I'm tracking what I eat, and I still gained weight. Obviously now that I have my food sins on record I'm going to eat way healthier, but I'm trying to rule in or out…

He did warn me that weight gain was a side effect of one of the medications, but he said that's not always the case. It's just a little bit too coincidental that the times in my life where I gained a ton of weight is when I was on these medications. I honestly feel more awful feeling like a emotionless obese robot than an…

So it's like an light jog on the treadmill, or some incline? I'm so out of shape though, just brisk walking gets my heart rate up to 140. I feel like I need a challenge.

This! I've been running the same trail for a week now... at the halfway point I feel like dying and take a breather... today I kept going and I surprised myself at how much endurance I have. This has happened many times. I guess I just have to keep pushing myself beyond what I think is my max.

Going by personal experience... I thiiiink the happy green plant might have boosted up my metabolism when I first started smoking. I ate pretty much the same as I was (was never home enough to eat what the munchies called for), but since I was so hungry all the time and I wasn't eating I lost a ton of weight. So much…

Any warm drink suppresses hunger for a little bit for me. I like to drink tea, keeps me full but doesn't get me wired. :)

I'm a horrible binge eater and when I start eating sweets and other bad stuff I'll just keep eating. That's really what got me at this weight, I would eat much more in snacks than my meals. It's like I have no self control! So I started changing my ways but it was kind of counter productive. I use a polar ft4 heart rate…

You're exactly right aetz, it's very depressing... each week since I started working out I think I have to lose weight because I work out and it's like a slap in the face when I just see the number get bigger. -_- Maybe I should switch to lighter weights or something, or just wait until my muscles max out because of the…

You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for all your help! Tehee. You got me there about the carbs. I kind of assumed that as long as I was under my calories, it really didn't matter what kind of calories it was. I have a weakness for delicious carbs!! As far as protein and fiber... I just take protein shakes to fill me up…

That's what I was afraid of... I'm scared of eating more and getting bigger. :x If I overeat some days (which I have) I'll feel bigger not too long later. Should I gradually eat more calories or something? Aaand should that much be my net calories or pre-workout calories?

K, it's open now, thank you! :) Just a disclaimer... sometimes I forget to log my exercise and some foods. But you might get the jist of it. I weigh myself on the wiifit scale we have at home. I think it's pretty accurate, it's the same weight that the scale at my work and those big machines at grocery stores... Edit:…

Just music... really loudly. When I'm jogging I can't focus on anything else other than the machine or else I feel like I'd fall off the machine or something. :x

I'm 5'5", 150 pounds, 25 years old. I currently do 45 minutes to an hour on the treadmill and sometimes elliptical at the gym... at home I try to join in the 30 day shred, with one to two rest days. Trying to hike once in a while too.

If I pushed myself a lot I think I could lose 25 pounds... but knowing me I think my goal will be 15. :)

I feel ya, I think sugars are impossible to keep under :( For me anyway, I have a major sweet tooth. A greek yogurt fills up most of my sugar intake for the day, so does a few pieces of fruit. I suppose natural sugars aren't as bad, so it's either that or eating things with artificial sweetners which some people say are…

Well I would neeever have breakfast. At lunch usually just a 6" turkey breast sandwhich from Subway, but at dinner I'd go crazy. For dinner also some kind of fast food. Usually McChickens and a pineapple smoothie from McDonalds. At home we'd always make cupcakes or some kind of bread every day, and I would gulp down like 6…

Guilty... I eat a lot of these things because I want to keep my fats and sugars low. Why are these so bad for you? I kind of figured if they were approved by the FDA or whatever they're safe for human consumption. :/

30 minutes a day on the ellilptical, and an hour on the weekends of elliptical and running. I usually have one day off, decided at random :p

$19.99 a month at Chuze Fitness, but that includes bringing a guest with me which I use to bring my family along.

I'm 24, 5'4", I weigh 160 lbs and wear size 12 pants... but they're quite lose on me now. I haven't taken my measurements. :( GW = 140 lbs.

I try to keep my macros 40% protein/40% carbs/20% fat, but that rarely happens. I still check them though to see where I'm at... if I ate too much carbs I'll eat more protein, etc.

I feel you... I'm completely addicted to chocolate! If I have a craving I'll just eat dark chocolate or the hunt's snack pack sugar free chocolate pudding. It's still deliciously chocolatey but it doesn't have any sugar and is only 80 calories!

I guess this is the miss geni's in denial thread..

I think you're right seraphemz. Maybe it might not build a whole ton of muscle but it activated whatever muscle was in there at the very least. -.-

Well I work an office job so other than the gym I'm pretty much completely sedentary, maybe that's what happened! I swear though I'm shrinking. Everything is super lose on me :( And no steroids for me, thank you!! I like being a woman. I would never expect to be a bodybuilder, I don't have the testosterone :P But I would…

Ahh... I see. Yeah, I figured the only way to build muscle was to put some strain on it til it rebuilds and for that I'd need weights or something. Oh wells. Wishful thinking I guess. :)

Eating... I love food way too much, I love bad things especially... chocolate, cupcakes, etc etc. :( I enjoy working out very much though!

That's incredible. You are amazing!!
