Hey there! I too have had my struggles throughout my entire childhood and now my adult life. My situation is different but a struggle still the same. I have an eating disorder called bindge eating and have been trying to conquer it for several years. Only recently have I made some progress in this but I still have a long…

OMG! I cant wait to try this! Thx big time because I LOVE big macs lol:flowerforyou:

Congrats on your engagement!! I just had my 2nd year anniversary so I still remember the struggle to get on track for all those wedding photos. I got married in Cuba on the beach so I really had to hop to it lol. Anyway please feel free to add me. I also find the supprt helpful as well as giving it :)

Hey there! You can add me if you want. I log my food everyday too. My problem too is food, more than getting to my workouts so i find it handy to get ideas from other people also

Hey there! 124 lbs is very small for your height. I am the same height and my goal is 125-130lbs. I wonder if maybe you are wanting to be more toned and fit rather than just losing weight. Of course whatever you feel is what you should do, I just wanted to let you know that 120lbs of muscle is very attractive and easy to…

Hey there! Congrats on your success so far. Its not always an easy thing to do but I have found that if we just keep going, the benefits are amazing. I have tried so many different types of workouts and I agree that not getting bored is very important for our continuing a healthy lifestyle. I loved Jillian Micheals videos.…

I wish I had an answer for you but I, too, do the same thing. Its a terrible pull too. Like a voice inside that won't go away. I fight it in spurts so it counteracts my progress. I do really well, then binge and ruin it all. Boo! It'll be interesting to see the responses.

Hi there! I love her workouts. Because its circuit training you see results after the first few workouts ( as long as your eating properly). Thats the biggest thing, eating properly! You can workout til the cows come home but if your not eating properly than results won't happen. She is the best for a reason. She knows…

Hi there, My cousin has the same thing and has been doing a lot of research over the years. She found the GI diet to be most helpful for her. Ive told her about your question so im sure she'll be in touch. She is a member here to. Watch for jb sweet 99. Good luck and welcome:flowerforyou:

Hi there, Just wondering what a postcard challenge is? I was trying to find your blog but i cant. Not sure how to get there, lol! Anyway, fingured i would just ask. Take care:wink:

Well, I did it! Mind you i probably didnt double my water intake but the rest was a success. Thanks, that was fun!:drinker:

GREAT IDEA!!! I am so in also! Thanks!:bigsmile:

Hi! I am sooo happy that you brought this up. I would love to join in the BED support group. Im so tired of eating so much and never feeling like its enough. I dont know how to stop it. I do very well for a while and then Ill have a cheat meal and all hell breaks loose. I will eat many chocolate bars, donuts, chips and…

Welcome! This is a great tool to help keep track of things and chat with people who are going through the same stuff. I ve learned a lot from everyone. ENJOY!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

That is so awesome! Just did my first 10k run today. For retina research. Big time challenge for me. Congrats to you and good job:flowerforyou:

That was awesome! You are a very good teacher. Everything was explained so clearly, Thank you! I am always changing up my cardio routine so its good to know what best burns the cals. What do you do for your cardio? Aerobic/recovery time? I love jogging and have just joined my first 10k run. I am still training to be able…

Wow, great question. So many people needed that answer. Thanks!

Thats awesome and congrats!!!! I, too, am getting married. I have been a member for 6 month or so and mfp is a great tool. I am easily unmotivated at times and i binge eat, especially sugar! Obviously i am working on both those and its a great help to have people to chat to. Keeping track becomes really easy too. Anyway,…

Im so glad to hear someone else have this question. I am in exactly the same predicament. It can be frustrating to feel a difference but not see it on the scale. I feel like maybe im building muscle but not burning fat and im affraid that i just look bigger. I can see the muscle too, through the fat. Im confused also. Its…

Hi There! From what ive learned, adding in some light weights helps you burn more fat and burn it even when you are resting. Its a myth that it will bulk you up. Girls dont have enough testosterone to bulk up. The theory is working for me and others I know. Ask someone at the gym. im sure they know all about it. Take care

I get headaches for a few reasons but I know that food can do it also. When we eat out the food is usually full of more fat, preservatives and other things that are not in homemade stuff. It makes eating out no fun really. I am usually safe with meal size salads. There are many different kinds with interesting ingredients.…

I hear ya! lunch can be really frustrating when you work full time. I dont think a fibre bar is enough for lunch. You'll be so hungry by the end of the day and that is dangerous for over eating or eating the wrong things. I often take soup ( throw it in a tupperware container) , a salad or a couple of veggies cut up, piece…

Hi! I seem to be under about the same amount as you each day. Ive heard that we must eat all of our cals or else it could effect our weight loss. I feel like im eating a lot even with the cal deficit. Im not hungry and i still have lots of energy to do my daily activities. So............. I guess my point is that i think…

Hello! I know losing weight can be frustrating. Sometimes it does take a seemingly long time but DONT GIVE UP! Thats wayyyyy to easy. Giving up just means starting again later. Remember, its not just about weight loss, its also about preventing diseases and sickness. The weight loss will come. If you have tried dieting…

Hello! I usually have a smoothie for my snack at least once a day. Its a very easy and quick way to get some more food in ya. try 1 cup fat free yogurt, 1 cup fruit ( i get frozen fruit), 1 cup 1% milk and half a banana. Its REALLY yummy!

Hi, welcome! I know its not easy to be healthy AND take care of your kids. A snack idea that is handy is have a blender full of smoothy. 3 cups of fat free yogurt, a whole container of silken tofu (or if you dont like tofu then 6 tbls of egg whites), 1 or 2 cups of berries ( i use frozen stuff) and 1 banana. Then you will…

Welcome! And Good Luck! You picked a great site to help support you.::flowerforyou:

Welcome! My favorite way to get protein in is through fish and edamame beans. The beans are a great snack that keeps your hands busy.

This sounds so familiar, lol. I totally know how that feels. I " DO IT" too and it is so discouraging. In my case, i have a binging problem and an addiction to junk. It really is an addiction too! I find it hard to eat healthy when all this yummy junk is so easy and readily available. And, its comfortable. I had to pull…
