Way to go!

Me too

Well I have not the slightest idea how to train for a race of any type, but one word of advice,if you believe you will fail then you will so stop talking like that. Also, stop sharing any information regarding weight loss or getting fit with this person.

What you describe was me when I was in my late teens and early 20s. I would pass out regularly and ended up in the hospital several times after passing out in public places. I also have no salt restrictions, which is nice, but I don't really like salty stuff so much. I eat regular meals and snacks, and drink my water most…

Glad to hear you are going to see a therapist. Don't put it off. You may need to take some time off from your normal activities or even take medication. There is help out there.

Lactose intolerance?

Missing a logging day after getting up past 30 days demotivated me for a bit so I can see why you would be discouraged.

Here's the thing, some people will judge you, they would be doing that anyway because they are insecure in themselves and need to focus on the flaws of others. Some people will be critical, either because they are also insecure or because they care about you and have mistaken ideas about health and fitness. Some people…

Me as well. I lost 30, gained a couple ponds back and have been going up and down from 197 to 199 for two months. There are various possible reasons for this, but I'm not just sure which one(s) are a contributing factor(s).

I think I may be doing what you describe. I land on the ball of my foot and my toes together. My heel doesn't touch the ground until a second after. I found that landing flat on my whole foot ended up with shin pain that I assumed was shin splints. After taking some time off and switching to swimming, the pain went away.…

No I have never heard of it, but I seriously thought the title read the Cisco diet and was intrigued.

Suck on an ice cube.

Thanks :)

Hi there, I don't smoke, but my coworker did and was able to quit by gradually cutting back. He made several attempts and when he did finally kick the habit we had a party to celebrate. Good luck!

I do not sweat enough apparently. I am one of the Dewey people. I would love to sweat more, it would be easier to keep cool.

You can definitely fill yourself up with water and stave off hunger for awhile. This is how I ended up in The hospital in first year University. I wasn't trying to starve myself, I just didn't have time to cook and didn't want to eat junk food (my Mom was a great from scratch cook and I had difficulty with eating packaged…

Wow, no I did not know that at all. Thanks so much for posting this. Interesting to note that cancers of the female reproductive system are mostly all listed there.

You can do it!

Oh my goodness, that sounds so difficult. I have a friend with a similar problem, but from a malfunction of the sphincter that lets food into her stomach. My suggestion would be to purée food to get it to the right consistency. Not the greatest with regard to texture, but better than throwing up for hours. Also, could you…

I am 5'6" and 198 lb. I was 195, but then switched to a better scale :(

Stressing out too much over food choices will likely cause cancer as well. It is impossible to eliminate all risk factors and by eliminating one risk factor you may introduce another. Sure there are healthier choices, but you can do everything right and still get sick. Do what you need to do to be at peace with yourself…

Feels great doesn't it? Congratulations!

^^^^^^love that story. Hugs to the OP.

In all of this please remember to take care of yourself. This is such a stressful situation for you. Hugs.

It is tough to start up again, but you can do it!

You are doing the right thing there. Educating yourself about what is in the foods you are eating. It does take a great deal of time and can be frustrating at first, but you will develop a knowledge of healthy eating habits and your trips to the grocery store won't take so long. I used to spend hours reading all the…

Congratulations Lacie! You are looking great. Would you mind sharing how you lost the weight. I'm at your starting point after losing 26 pounds and have stalled up.

Hi there. Sorry to here you are having a rough time. There is a group on here dedicated to emotional eating issues.

Heart burn?
