I realize this was posted LONG ago, but I so agree! Classical music can be so powerful and moving sometimes and it takes your mind off of everything else (particularly food!). ;)

Hey There! I would love to have a twin for support and motivation. :smile: I have struggled with binge-eating and emotional eating for the past 2.5 yrs and that has make a huge impact on my weight/mental well-being. Anyone else who struggles with this in particular? Age: 25 Height 5'5 HW: 139 CW: 132 GW: 118

Thank you for your advice--it is much appreciated! The quote above particularly rings true for me. I feel as if often I am most afraid of the actual urges, and the feelings I am trying to escape (the sadness or stress or loneliness or whatever) that I forget how truly damaging the actual binging in itself is as a coping…

I am new to the forums here, and I've been following your story Summerfit321, it is so inspiring! :smile: I do have a question for you though--as someone who started binge eating in the first place in direct relation to severe calorie deficient dieting, but who now needs to lose some weight (due to said binging), how do…

Thanks for the advice, Heybales. I am trying to follow the 40/30/30 macro percentages outlined on the EM2WL website, so that already sets my protein and fat higher than it was before (default MFP setting).

Any thoughts on how to up protein and fat whilst lowering carbs on a vegetarian…

Hi There! :) I'm 23 years old, vegetarian (try to be vegan), and my stats are: Height: 5'5" CW: 120-122 lbs (seems to fluctuate a lot) GW: 108-110 lbs I'm pretty small-boned and have a small frame, so this may seem low but I don't think it will look unhealthy on me. Twins, anyone? ;)

Wow! Thanks for all the great advice, everyone! jlohcook, I'm too broke to go to the gym (or buy exercise equipment) but I try to go running/jogging fairly often so hopefully that will work as well. :) johloz, hahahahaha! Maybe you're right. I wouldn't mind it so much if I could just tighten up that area. Having a saggy…

Thanks so much, Cookingcow! I will definitely try your tip about the carbs. Also, I am already doing squats/lunges, but sporadically so I will try and do them more consistently. :) Gosh, do you wish you could "spot reduce", though??? That would just be so awesome...
