Hi - I'm nobody to you and you can always ignore me but you are not ugly and you do not deserve this negative self talk. Be kind to yourself x

Sometimes I break it down into songs.... like I want to do 30mins and 3mins is a very rough average of a song so I say to myself 'I'm going to just run/lift/powerwalk for 10 songs" Other times I'll focus on how I'll spend 4 times this 30mins on the sofa watching tv tonight so hard can this little input of time be? I also…

Definitely a scale. Also, Benifiber? Do you need it? How much fiber are you getting from food? I over did it on the fiber supplement for about 6 weeks once. I was so bloated by the time I realised I was totally over doing it and had been getting enough soluble fiber from veggies anyway. It went as soon as the benifiber did.

Hi from London. Congrats on your loss so far. My issues start in August 2016. I basically woke up one day feeling nauseated and dizzy. It went on for 3 weeks and has come back monthly since. These days it can occur for 2-3 days or 2-3 weeks with no indication of when or how severally it'll occur. Over the many months, it…

Please just don't do it. It is a fad diet. He's been struck off. It is not healthy, sustainable or clever. Trust me as I lost & regained on it....something Dukan would say is my fault

Congraulations :smile:

Bread. Exactly as you described, a 'tailspin'. It just sets me off. I can eat half a loaf in a sitting, no problem.

Hey just wondering how you are getting on? I am also a binge eater plus I don't eat well unless I am full and prefer large portions. I ate like this years ago for about 12 months & found it suited me very well. I'm giving it a shot now, eating 1200 (5'3 & relatively inactive). For me, this isn't about broscience. I don't…

Thank you for your best wishes and so much luck to you too. I have decided to go slow and steady by making one healthy change at a time, listening to my mind & body, being nicer to myself and taking my time. I have been at my goal weight before but I got there through unhealthy means and for the wrong reasons. At the end…

Hi there! I have been doing this only about 2.5 weeks, this applies to both the exercise and the increase in calories. As I mentioned, my mental health is currently my priority and weighing in properly & being strict about my calories made my anxiety very bad. So what I am doing at the moment is focusing on moving my body…

Woah!

Exactly. It isn't sustainable. I didn't fail for any reason other than that because it didn't help me change the behaviours that led me to be obese. Also I was miserable. Meat, meat, meat. Once you get passed QAttack, the veggie list is limited and meat is still supposed to be the majority of your plate. Carbs are nice.…

I did it. I lost nearly 20lbs in 2.5 months. I stopped because it is unsustainable. I gained back 25lbs. What more do you need to know?

I like 147. I'm trying to get back to it, 164 today. I am a UK10/US6 at 150 or below. 147 is the lowest I have been. I needed to improve my body composition at that weight but I didn't need to lose weight. I think I would look awful at anything below 140. I have a big so I'd look like a bobble-head doll

My BMI is down to 28. I know it is flawed and I am still too high but it is going in the right direction. I am back to being able to run for 5mins at a time Have lost an inch off of my waist Feel hopefule

Hey, I have it. I don't know how to use it that well but it does gather my data daily for sure. How do i add you?

This post is the best thing I have done in a long time. You are all a wealth of knowledge and kind to boot. Thank you so much for sharing your stories, techniques and opinions. I really appreciate the time each of you put into answering this. You've really helped and I hope you all get some good karma for your efforts to…

Thank you all so much. There are some great thoughts here which I can't wait to process. I am at work at the moment but just wanted to say I really appreciate each response.

Woah. That's what I wrote this for: Logic. I hadn't even realised it was what has been missing. Logic has been lost in crappy feelings of self-loathing. It's like when you stare at a picture so long it becomes distorted. Thanks for that @kommodevaran. That is incredibly helpful and something I can really build on.

Voting podcasts too. I used to listen to music but I found it frustrating over time. I did try an audiobook but the pace wasn't there for me. The readers vary so much, it is a bit potluck I think. Then I discovered podcasts. I liked Serial Season 1 (hated 2, gave up after 3 episodes), PlantMoney (not actually about…

I suffered badly from this. Or at least I thought I did. However I have recently come to a realisation: just like all people are different, all gyms are different! I have been a member of about 6-7 gyms at some point or other. I always found that I'd go a handful of times and then dread it. I recently moved to London and…

Try getting an an app that makes you do a puzzle in order to turn it off. I have an android so I use 'I can't wake up'. It has awesome things like puzzles or taking a picture of something (I make mine something in my kitchen with the light on). By the time you get it to turn off, you're so awake that you might as well do…

Did it. Lost about 6lbs in a week. Put it back on immediately after restarting normal eating. It is: - An unsustainable way of eating (or living at all really) - A glorified whey protein powder - Just a low calorie diet. I remember logging it and thinking that I might as well be eating real food - A multi level marketing…

Thank you for your kind words. I have a tendency to self-sabotage. After a lot of consideration, mindfulness and reflection, I have come to the conclusion that the reason is simply I don't value myself enough to look after myself as I should. When something 'bad' happens, I react by punishing myself with excessive eating…

Like myself more....Ouch, the honest hurts

Bump for the inevitable stories...Have't had that giggle in a while

What a hero! Well done so far and congrats on your determination to succeed! You got the xx

Both BUT, the most important thing is to do what you like and not overdo it when you start out. You don't want to put yourself in a position where you hate your routine as this means you'll give up. Similarly, you don't want to burn out or injury yourself. Build up and enjoy the feeling of success when you finish each…

Going to the wardrobe with an outfit in mind, putting it on and leaving the house. No tears, no anxiety, no secondguesses, no self-loathing. I've been there before and I am sure as heck going to get back.
