Hi Feistychick68, First of all that is an amazing username! I too have experienced the terrible cycle that is depression and binge/unhealthy/emotional eating. I started making any excuse I could to avoid leaving the house (because i wanted to stay in bed) but also didn't want people to see how much weight I had put on. You…

I love this idea. Contemplating it myself.

Hi, I have been known to binge eat as well. Binge eat/stress eat/ emotional eat... all the same. There's a couple of things that I have been told: 1) It could be that you aren't eating enough on a regular basis 2) Try to find another stress release... this could be grabbing an apple and going for a walk- which i find helps…

I have been finding finals stress horrible for my diet! You are definitely not the only one. A few tips: pack healthy snacks (grapes and carrots are great because they take longer to eat and you can mindlessly munch on them), drink a ton of water, get up and go for short walks around the library. What the other woman said…

Hey people, I'm here with you. Actually reached my goal weight at one point and then gained :( And today I ate double the number of calories I'm supposed to... We all go through struggles. Please add me :) At the end of the day though, be proud of the progress you have already made!

Thank you! I will repost it there. Good idea.

Hey, So I've kept the weight off for about 10 months now. It's awesome that you love to work out! Working out will continue to improve the look of your body, and it helps with the confidence to. Maintaining is a rocky road. I don't want to sugar coat it. I've found maintaining to be more emotionally difficult than losing…

Vacation...that's so exciting! I definitely love your idea of practicing ahead of time, just so when you go you feel more confident and are less stressed. Last time I went on vacation I lost 4 pounds in a week but to be honest it was because I was so stressed out about gaining weight that I barely eat... not good! Since…

Okay thanks everyone!!!

This isn't what you are going to want to hear. However if you are in too much pain to exercise you are likely not in need of food. If you have serious cramps and nausea you won't feel hunger. So skip the extra sandwich today.

Hey I just got an Up bracelet as well :) I've been really enjoying it as well! Have had it for about a week and am still trying to figure out how to take full advantage of it. Add me as a team mate :) my name is Madison Parson. The picture is a blond girl beside a flowered bush aha (its me).

I've been having a bad couple of weeks too. What you need is an attitude adjustment (aka a kick in the butt). Stop it right now! When you wake up tomorrow you are starting with a clean slate! Do not forget the dream... that body you have wanted for years. Do not let a bad week (s) ruin your dream. You are showing that you…

An apple with a tablespoon of low fat peanut butter: 160 calories total and filling!

I put humus on chicken breast....so good and will keep you filled for hours!

Hi Beautiful Ladies, I am 18 years old and constantly emotionally distraught over my weight. I let the number on the scale determine my outlook on the day. I feel like a lot of my family and friends don't understand and are constantly pressuring me into eating unhealthy food and making unhealthy decisions. I want to be…

Thank you so much! Good to know there are people out there able to maintain weight loss. I really appreciate your advice!!

You really do look great!! Keep it up!!

Hi all, I live with people who have terrible eating habits! They stock the house with tons of sugary foods and prepackaged snacks. I have a busy life so its hard for me to do the grocery shop.... but how do i avoid eating the junk in the house? And how can i stop myself from eating the same unhealthy foods my friends are?…
