Great, thank you! =)

I agree with that! Plus after you log everything you eat for such a long time and you are done with the loss/gain then it feels weird NOT logging everything you eat. I'm not at my goal yet, but I know once I am I have to do stay on here to maintain it.

Yes, thank you!!! People don't realize that theres a simple way to use mfp and eat what you love in moderation and still drop the pounds. For example, the school I go to (GSU) has a chick fil a in the student center, and every tuesday one of my roommates and I go there for lunch- we know we are going there so we eat a…

I highly recommend both. I love love love my fitbit, I wear it all day. You become so addicted to it and it really makes me want to move more so I can get those extra steps in before midnight! 30 minutes ago I was at 3.94 miles and I literally ran up and down the hallway to get to that 4.00! Then I use my HRM for…

bahahahahah!

I only weigh myself once a week and now its been a week and a half! Grr.

Yeah I went and bought a HUGE thing of metamucil today haha :D

Well I havent been able to weigh myself all week yet so I've been looking forward to it :(

You are very welcome!

I think it was a combination of things- I no longer thought seeing bones was pretty- I just wanted to be in a healthy weight range and not be super skinny anymore, I wanted to work out whenever I wanted to- not when I *had* to and I knew I wanted to do it slowly. I know you can do it and one day you will be able to enjoy…

also, the nice thing is that you can really eat whatever as long as it fits in your mfp calorie range ( granted, not the healthiest thing out there, but you can still eat *bad* foods, I don't really like calling it that but I know how ED people see that) :)

Thank you! =) Honestly, I just distracted myself as much as I could and I was lucky to be with a supportive boyfriend and have a supportive family. It was hard. Really hard. But I knew I couldn't "do anything" about it until I was ready to do it in a healthy way. That part of recovery really really sucks, but once you are…

It is extremely difficult and its the hardest thing for anyone ever to go through- but you CAN recover =) It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do but it so beats any disordered thinking/behavior! Do you feel that you have reached "rock bottom" yet?

I will add you because nothing like having friends that know exactly what you have/are going through! =)

If there is any way you find a ED specialist- it would be very helpful because they know exactly what you are feeling! Have you read the book Life without Ed by Jenni Schaefer? ( I think thats her name). You feel like the book is written for you because you can relate to her so much. If you haven't already read it, pick it…

Yes.

It is such a great feeling not having to live like that anymore! Now we are finally in control of our bodies. Not ED.

I agree! The real strength within us is not that we can starve ourselves, but that we can recover and move on from Ed!

Thank you! I still sometimes worry that my friends, who knew me back then, think I go to purge after a meal when really I just go to wash my hands now. Isn't it a nice feeling when you stop worrying about being that skinny and more about feeling healthier? For a long time the subject of weight made me uncomfortable, or…

Thank you! I know it won't be easy for you to stop, but I know that you CAN do it. =) have you tried any treatment facilities/therapists/group therapy?

Thank you! If I can just get one person to not go through the crap I had to go through, it would all be worth it =)

thank you :)

thanks! Thats the reassurance I needed :)

That makes sense, I actually didn't even think about that. I kept looking at it thinking how did I burn 10 calories laying on the night stand? ha ha I'm still trying to figure the whole thing out but so far I like it! My mother has one and she LOVES it and so I went ahead and purchased one too =)

So the calories burned that it will say on the fitbit are my bmr AND exercise calories? so it would be for example fitbit says 2200 cals I ate 1800 1800-2200=-400?
