Me too - add me if you would like - I use Fit Bit and Fit Bit scale along with MFP (My Fitness Pal) . I just started back so I'm ready to roll -- I ran out and mowed the lawn with a push mower just to see what it would do to my fit bit a few minutes ago. LOL

We set up the fitbit scale. I like. Will get on scale in the AM. :wink:

Thanks for the encouragement!

Is there a binge mode?

Bring it!

I only log my Tops Club weight. I weigh myself many times throughout the day on Monday and Tuesday (unlimited) 1-2 days before the Tops Club meeting and make ANY and ALL needed adjustments (diet, fast, exercise, suanna etc) to reach my weight goal for the Tops Club weigh in on Tuesday Night. Once on Weds after my cheat…

Is this topic just a rant??! Can you be doing REALLY "everything" right, if you are asking us on here why you are gaining and not losing? You probably need MORE water and to rest from overexercise? AND a super warm epsom salt body bath? And a mini-trampoline to warm up and down with. Are you or have you used fiber…

Yeah - it piles back on because of water refilling (from a deydrated self) and gut refilling. LOL

Mels -- LOL. It may work for a margarita but w/o any added sweet or sugars or salt (unless it is a salt that contains minerals like real salt) but not sure. I've done it with wine but diluted the heck out of it with sodastream carbonated reverse osmosis water. (pure seltzer water) I do this trick the day before I weight in…

Sometimes just a vacation from diet helps. :) Congrats on your loss, Eve. I have 45 more to go and I'm trying to find a lifestyle that I can do that keeps me happy at the weight that I should be... My current Roller skating 4x a week and walking 20 miles is great but it is likely I will need more than that. (sadly the…

FACT: 3,500 is a REAL pound. Do the math! Usually your average person needs about 2,000 calories to sustain - so a complete fast is NOT a pound a day. But mainable intense 3-5 hour exercise routine and near fasting is close. Caveat: Too much work out and you are back to retaining water around injuries and stressed areas.…

A bag of lentils,(rinsed) wild onions (free usually while camping - pick them yourself) and any leftover veggies. Start cooking in am and cook in a big pot slow over campfire until afternoon until water is gone and lentils are good and mushy. Add oil to taste and salt to taste. Excellent fiber, protein and carb base to…

sweet!

Clean is NOT normal eating in this day and age. LOL 4% for a woman is it? :huh:

A scheduled in "all you care to eat" STOPS our SCARCITY mentality of our INNER CHILD by allowing us to realize that we CAN have something in the future. And teaches also that all is NOT lost, just not now. Learning patience a little at a time is easier. I found the 5:2 Fastdiet helpful because my inner child COULD binge as…

What a nice motivational blog -- kudos to the originator and all his compliments and advice for others on this topic. Me, I'm just finally gliding into this journey in all seriousness. I started at 200 before mfp -- depressed and sick and tired. I've noticed that intense work outs and low healthy eating gives me more…

Cinder block is what I lost on here... But need I need to lose another 5000 BTU air conditioner -- LOL

green powdered straight up non-flavored Spirulina -- that was super gag!

I'm part rhode island red and part long horn.

Asian? =jaina08

Try a thrift shop -- Goodwill and salvation army. Many women give up the idea of being a size 0-2 and just donate to declutter. I got most of my size 0-2 at a Goodwill store because there was not anywhere else to shop it.

It's bad for me because it's 1) Calorie Dense, 2) Addictive, 3) Triggering and 4) Gateway to junk junk. -- The primal "me" who is searching for the calorie dense foods is awakened and takes over eating everything in sight. :devil: Same with all cow products for me! LOL Oh yeah, AND it retains water on me.

It's probably best NOT to date but to fall back on people who love and care for you no matter what. I have guy friends were we are friends where we just hang out because I am comfortable around them and them with me. None of the guys care whether I'm fat or skinny but care a LOT if I'm sick or unhealthy. If you already…

I'm all for the grubs but the adults??? :noway: Something about choking on a wing or exo-skeleton too much for me.:huh: Nice video with recipes.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqt7vXBQuCQ

Fitness PaL WANNABEE DOCTORS giving out incorrect and unsolicited Advice with no basis in reality: Whenever I and my doctor find a diet that really works for me under supervision, always some wannabee doctor saying that my diet is unhealthy and that I will gain all the weight back --- I do always ask where they served…

If possible --- stop and take a nap before you start binging. Then, after you wake up, look carefully at the foods you ate... check for trigger foods. And, once you determine what the trigger food is, throw it out permanently, IE flush it down the toilet, mix it in with coffee grounds or dirt etc.

GO cold turkey AND be ready to simply take naps or go to bed early and or pace the floor. Don't give in! You are craving sugar because your insulin is going crazy. Find low/no sugar meals and stick with it -- AND for now also stay away from fruit.

If you can get into the bath, baking soda and epsom salt baths can help.

At times, I desire to be unaccountable because I just want to eat to be satisfied regardless of the consequences. It's unfair considering "that skinny dude" who can keep eating and eating without care or concern or weight gain. It's human nature to want to mess around without consequences. Many children are born that way.…

Wow -- I had just under half my weight to lose -- so motivational! 68 to go.
