When I am home I weigh everything on a digital food scale. When I am out I overestimate and I use MFP on my Android. I worry about that all the time since I am a compulsive overeater and I can very easily be in denial. I guess the only way I will truely know is my weight loss which is steady so far :)

Although I am new and it's been about a month, I have exercised regularly for that time. I have not done that in over five years! I already feel my stamina returning with each session I do!

My hormonal cycle is the biggest barrier to physical health I have, aside from emotional eating which escalates during PMS. This month was the first experience I have had coping with the additional hunger associated with my period. I was able to get through it by continuing to exercise as much as possible, eating chocolate…

Thank you for your inspiration! I love how you put into words about exposing the parts that need healing, that's exactly what I am going through! I am sorry for the loss you suffered and I am grateful that you have decided to show your support here today!

Food in general is like crack to me. The kind of fulfillment I get by eating is like no other. These days as I realize how destructive it is, I realize what a crackhead I am! But I guess if i had to choose it would be CHOCOLATE!

I am ready! :bigsmile:

I definitely don't define it as a diet. Although only syntax, My brain associates diet with deprivation of some sort. I don't see this that way MFP/Calorie tracking, I visualize this as calories in during eating vs. calories out during daily living/exercise. For me it eliminates the habitual behaviors I have which include…

Okay, so I made it through the day, 2300 calories later, but in the past I would have eaten 4000 easy. So I feel like the food wasn;t the problem the 4 glasses of wine push me over the edge! Well, just one day time to let it go and move on, right back on track with my MFP plan. Have a great weekend! XOXOXOXO

Thank you all I am going to keep your suggestions in mind! I will follow-up with a reply of what I did at the end of the night if you want to see! I am very grateful for the support and motivation, I really need it! Happy Thanksgiving!

Beautiful spreadsheet! thx for the add!

I'm a busy mom and I find it very difficult. What I do is small increments. 20 minutes or less as often as possible. I use exercisetv (free on my cable provider) and I also dance to music my kids like and do crunches or squats. I am new to this but it feels good!

My opinion is always valid to me, I meant in regards to your "honest truths" I guess the truth IS subjective anyway ;)

I definitely respect your honestly. I try to live my life as close to the truth as possible. That being said, my comment might not hold much validity because I have never been successfully healthy in terms of a steady routine/regimen. I found this website because a FB friend of mine was posting her fitness goals met each…
