Thanks you are so sweet! <><><><><> I changed my calorie goals yesterday. I think I was being too strict. I am now logging and eating most of my exercise calories. On my rest day I won't be able to eat that low so I may go over that day. I hope it works. I have to go out of town this weekend too. YIKES

spacecurly You are right one night is not bad. I had several bad nights in a row. :( mudflatmabel I hope you are feeling better now! I also hope the doctor visit goes well. I bet you will get out of the 240's soon! Prephred I can find herbs you can grow. LOL Some grow like weeks. Oregano, tarragon, mint (spreads fast so…

Exercise App Review: I like the App Endomondo. It has a free version. I use it on my smartphone to track how far I have walked etc. I use this when I am walking without my HRM/GPS device. Sometimes I find time to walk before a baseball game etc and don't have my HRM. It has many activities to choose from, Hiking, walking,…

tsikkz I hope the hormonal effect helps(loss of the BC). Maybe that was making your binge cravings worse? Chibea Snacking is hard. Sometimes when I work I don't bring enough for lunch and then I get into trouble when I get home DucksandOrang I did whatever I wanted the last few days and I had binges. I am not in control…

No green thumb no problem....grow herbs! They grow very well :) baseball started on July 4th this week. VERY busy! My inlaws were here and took us out to eat twice. I WAS BAD! I hope I did not gain 4 pounds again. it seems if I stray I usually gain a lot of weight. I guess I am lucky that way. I was just getting tired of…

Good for you!! I love it when women don't starve themselves to lose weight!! When I was doing more cardio I was 2000 too. (I am less active now so I am at about 1800)

SavvyGurl0528 thanks! I sometimes need to look at old photos to remember how far I have come. (Especially when I am having a hard time with the scale). I am sure you will do just fine on your camp trip. I bet you can tell serving sizes by look by now. Have fun spacecurly I hope you get some rest from work. Sounds busy! I…

Sorry for being MIA. Baseball is wearing me out. yesterday came home from the games took a nap and still slept last night!! (we had 8am games which means we have to arrive by 7am and the field was 45mins - 1 hour away. So we left around 6am!! I got up at 5am on the weekend!) I took a new photo. I did not see a difference…

Sorry about the 1.2 pounds. You will see that happens to me a lot. :( It sucks and can be frustrating. Hang in there!!

Most of my underpants are getting big and they always are above my pants. (well with the newer pants at least) It takes time getting used to the feeling of low rise. I grew up with tall pants. Remember the 90's? I had some tall ones. LOL

Here is mine. Book Nice Girls Finish Fat: Put Yourself First and Change Your Eating Forever Karen R Koenig (Author) My review: Very good book about how many overweight women put everyone first instead of themselves. It gives you tools to put yourself first and not eat your emotions. It does focus on Binge Eaters but anyone…

That qualifies! I had an autistic child actually scream for 4 hours straight one day. It was a long day for the adults and the kids. <><> Well I finally lost on the scale. I was going to lose my mind if I did not lose weight. However it is not much since it has been 3 weeks. my body is fighting this!

Prephred I love to get clothing a little small. It is a nice NSV when I can wear them. SavvyGurl0528 I switched the pic back and noticed my head is cut off. I really need a new photo. lol Glad you pampered yourslef. spacecurly Nice review! I did the Pamper yourself day. I painted my toe nails a nice pink. :) Not sure what…

We are the chattiest! WOO HOO I love winning at stuff. Especially since I love to talk, chat and type! I did cabin cleaning and not sure about tomorrow. I cleaned my spare room which is my sewing room too. It was bad!! My legs are still sore from toning so I did arms and cardio today ;)

Just begin like it is a new day. Don't punish yourself with extra exercise or less calories. Just act like the binge did not happen. I try to follow my own advice but it is hard. Bingers tend to feel bad and punish ourselves.

Good luck! I too take forever to lose the weight that I gain. It is so frustrating. I should put that on my mirror or by my scale. :)

You are all so sweet! I guess I took a break. Too many of those breaks and I will never get this weight off. lol I did need a break. It has been months of hard work and not much success so it was nice to take a couple days off. I did my leg toning and I am sore today. It is a good sore though. Met my new friend today too.…

Family Day was Sunday. Spent time with the kiddos and hubby. Today I will do Leg toning. I was planning on toning/ST today anyway. I do some fitness videos that use hand weights and body weight. I had a bad weekend food wise. I was still sick with my cold and we were busy. I just gave up for a few days. Not good I know. It…

I had an awful weekend. I got weighed last week and realized with all my hard work I lost nothing in 3 weeks. I stayed the same. I know it can be water weight blah blah. But I was working very hard and any binges were minor this month (at the time I think I had 3) I just wanted a few days of no tracking. I also think I…

Welcome Meadow Sage, I don't stockpile food either. Mostly due to my trying to lose weight. I think a lot of Binge eaters have some but not all the signs

Yes! I have also heard some people almost black out. They don't even remember eating the food!
