I have this issue too! A lot of people will try to tell you that you can't tone one spot, but I find yoga, deadlifts, and lateral pulldowns to be helpful!!!!!! Also check out Tracy Anderson, you could probably find some of her workouts on youtube!

I like Plnt by V. You can find it at the Vitamin Shoppe.

Rice cakes or ezekiel bread with peanut butter, overnight oats, and greek yogurt with fruit all work well too!

I actually noticed some hormone related symptoms when drinking shakeology for a week. I read that this could be related to the maca root. I didn't want it to interfere with my birth control pills so I stopped using it. Honestly, I am not looking for a debate here either. I just think it's important to check the facts and…

I started this week and I love it! Fun and challenging!

For volume I use zucchini grated. I cook them with the oats and a little stevia and unsweetened cocoa powder. When they are cool i add some chocolate protein powder. Mixing oats with apple or greek yogurt is good too!

I am about the same height and weight as you and my workouts are similar. My muscles definately retain water and seem swollen after a tough workout. You could try increasing your calories by a few hundred and incorporate more foods you enjoy. And dont let.anyones comments get to you, you are in great shape!!!

I would love to see peanut butter chocolate cup, sugar cookie, or red velvet!!!

Also brown rice, sweet potatoes, quinoa, variations of brown rice or quinoa pasta, beans, are all good. I just measure portions at night. I also like sides that are filling and add volume like zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, and brussel sprouts. .

You could also cut back on the cycling by half an hour then add some weights (you dont have to start super heavy) to your routine. There are some great exercise videos or classes at the gym.

I have the same problem and am looking for help too, especially after work. The book "Brain over binge" helped me a bit....

Yes we should start one here too!

I feel the same way as you, I overeat then feel sick for days. I also gain weight really easily. I have tried some oa meetings. The book Brain Over Binge by Kathryn Hansen and following a girl named Josie Mai on youtube has helpes me too.

Maybe try an overeaters anonomus meeting ib the near future?

Just went through this too, glad you are reaching out for help!!! Try to call someone, paint your nails, read a book, take a walk or even take a nap. Tomorrow is a new day. I tried to read the book Brain Over Binge and read online blogs or youtube videos (try Josie Mai) to help. **hugs

Yesss especially empty carbs! I try to always pair them with lots of protein when i know there is a special event filled with carbs but sometimes this gets the best of me too=) it is so hard but i always celebrate the times when i can get through it without eatin g the world!

Is anyone who drinks Shakeology on birth control pills? I was wondering if the Superfoods in shakeo cause interactions.

Thanks so much for your reply, Im glad that you enjoyed it!

Maybe tell yourself you can have it if you still want it tomorrw. Then have a portion and share the rest with a friend or neighbor. Try a chocolate protein shake or smoothie too the day before, it might help! I wish it was easier to get individual portions too! Taking a walk or reading something you enjoy can help too.

Try looking up Josie Mai on youtube or vm fitness. She has some great ideas about intuitive eating, balance, eating what you love in moderatiin and iifym. I also found a new blog called, "can you stay for dinner" that is helpful. Lots of people like the book "brain over binge" by katherine hansen too. Definately eating…

I have never used Mirena but since I started on birth control pills, I never feel full either!! So frustrating. I found that eating extra protein, fiber, and slow releasing carbs like oatmeal or ezekiel bread paired protein or a healthy fat or helpful!

Have you tried cleanse for life or the isaflush? Right now I am taking gnc burn 60 but I heard the natural accelerator was good. I like to work out too so I am abit nervous about the cleanse. Thanks so much!

Also, you could carry a small notebook to write your meals down!

Weekends are hard sometimes especially when you are around friends, family, and food you are not used to or trying to cut down on is everywhere! Sometimes I bring my own snacks like fruit, nuts, or granola//protein bars. I also try to pick one meal to reasonably splurge on or a few fun items throughout the day(like cheese…

I try to choose the least processed easy options of food such as steel cut or oatmeal(cook on sunday then preportion for the week!), tuna packets, bagged salads, plain greek yogurt(use low sugar jelly or fruit for flavor), or hard-boiled eggs. It also helps to cook over the weekend if possible then use or freeze for the…

I am on 1200 too and it is really hard sometimes, especially when I am around friends and family. Luckily I do love fruits, veggies, and healthy food but I do get cravings........I exercise a lot and am a preschool teacher but I am scared to use the exercise "calories". Sometimes I wonder if I would do better eating a…
