Hi Leila! Just added you :)

Hi Desiree! I added you :)

I also struggle with binge eating and love the above suggestions people have. I have also noticed that my binge food is evening. I tend to be a night owl and if i let myself, i will frequently stay up ridiculously late for no reason. I feel lije i get a second wind around 11. I have also noticed that occasionally i impulse…

Thank you guys! Emily3907 in which area did you find the peanut butter powder at costco? I looked near the regular peanut butter and didn't see any.

For those of you that use it as a conditioner-do you use it like a regular conditioner after shampooing and just rinse with water? Or do you have to use shampoo after (I have very fine hair that gets weighed down easily and can look greasy with products) and for those of you that use it as moisturizer do you just use it…

I like the Designer Whey Protein powder (vanilla) from Trader Joe's. It's not organic I dont think but it has no artificial sweeteners or colors or flavors, and it tastes good!

Bump!

Try a magnesium vitamin supplement. Works like a charm!

Wow what amazing progress! I love your muscles! And I love your story of how you did it and the emotional process, too. I can totally relate!

Wow I have been needing to budget better so bumping this to read thropugh for later!

Ww awesome results! This inspires me to start lifting. I used to use those machines at the gym, but got so bored. I will be ordering the NROWLFM or whatever the acrony, is lol

You look amazing! Not only do you look thinner and more fit, but your smile is positively radiant in the recent pictures. You look so much happier, and you look 15 years younger! You are an inspiration. I am also a 40 year old mom to a little girl, and want to lose weight, be healthy, and be a good example for her. I want…

Is stronglifts another book? I googled it but for some reason the website wasnt opening for me.

You look great and it looks like more than 22 lbs off! I'll bet you've added some serious muscle.

Just curious...maybe it's too much to write...but what is your weight loss/fitness story? How did you do it with diet and exercise?

You look great! I love your big guns :-)

Wow that recipe wit the yogurt sounds good.

Just a thought...sometimes we pack on the pounds to protect ourselves from emotional pain that we haven't dealt with. Food can act on the brains of some people the same way narcotics act on an addicts brain. I know for myself I definitely self-medicate with food. If you are feeling depressed, that is a serious medical and…

Make sure you're hydrated and have eaten beforehand. If you feel hot/cold flashes or break out in a sweat or feel a faint coming on go somewhere to lie down and put your legs up or lay with them bent. Also, if this has never happened before and you have been going to gigs for awhile, you may want to take a pregnancy test.…

You look great! I am also 5'4" and I have to say you have a great curvy figure--when I looked at your "before" picture you looked good there-and I thought you must be 5'10" or so since you carried it so well. And your current photos-Wow! You look so toned and with a flat stomach--I think with my figure I would have to get…

I have a fear of flying in commercial airplanes. One flight was so bad that at the 30 minute layover, I had decided to calmly ask the flight attendant if I could somhow get cash for the remaining value of my ticket so I could take the bus the remainder of the way. Of course I broke down in front of her, and she called all…

The pictures are pretty small-but even so I can see a big change! I recently started 30 ds and hope I can see a big difference too. Congratulations!

I love this thread! Thank you everyone for posting your pictures and stories. Very inspirational!

Bump

Wow what a great topic! Bumping tjis so I can read it later....

Great thread-thanks!

Thank you for all of the interesting replies. I think I will just look at my calories more over a 3 day or week-long pattern, as some of you suggested. I also did a quick search on Google, and found this article, which may explain some of it. Apparently aerobic exercise suppresses ghrelin and stimulates peptide YY, which…

And this quote made me laugh. Though I'm not gay, I think I can safely say you will survive the milestone of 25, as have lots of gay and straight people before you!! There are plenty of 26, 36, and 86 year old gay people (or straight) out there dating and in relationships. Don't worry about it! I remember being in college…

I will be 41 this year, but I distinctly remember being in my 20s, going through what you are going through. I honestly think the "mid-20's crisis" is just as common as the "mid-life crisis". Although inside I still feel 23 sometimes, or 34, or even 12, when I am truly objective looking in the mirror I know I am 40!! But…
