Counting calories never worked for me. I use a non-diet approach called Am I Hungry and I love it. I've never felt such freedom with food or had this much success with weightloss. Especially on a program where all foods fit-no food restrictions, no rules, just life!

Who I talk about..... The woman who is in the dressing room every morning when I get there gossiping to beat the band about her boyfriend. It is soooo entertaining, like a soap opera! At first I was irritated but then she started saying hi to me and when I don't get to the gym she notices, and it is motivating. I'm ashamed…

I've been following "Am I Hungry?" which is a non-diet approach to health and wellness, including weight loss. It teaches you to change your unhealthy thoughts about eating and exercising into healthier ones, which in turn allows you to change your behaviors and change your unhealthy habits in to healthier ones. It is an…

I ring bells for church too and it is a workout not just for your arms, you use a lot of muscles you aren't even aware of while ringing bells. We practice an hour a week and it definately "counts". Thanks for posting this! I just googled it and couldn't find anything either!

GREAT post!! Love it :laugh:

I like "Are you losing weight?" "No...how big did you think I was?" They don't ask again..... :)

Great posts! saving for later

Thank you. It has been amazing. I grew up with a lot of screwed up messages about eating and it took a long time to start learning new ways of eating but I am consistantly amazed by the varieties of foods my body asks for when I listen. I think in general as people who struggle with weight we begin to feel our bodies have…

On the dance floor would have been much worse!! I have all different sizes as I used to be a yo-yo dieter and was always up and down. I thought the ones I put on were "safe" but I guess I didn't realize how much I had lost this week with not eating. must have been just enough to put me over the edge because there was no…

As long as you have clothes there is no reason why you need to step on the scale. You don't need to know that number in order to know if you are feeling better physically. You don't need to know that number to see if your cholesterol is healthy. That number really means nothing and if it causes you to get off track throw…

And....how many of us are eating because there is no sex?!?!?! :laugh:

My food diary is not public because I do not diet and I know there are many people who would judge me for what I eat. Listening to those judgements is part of what got me where I am. It is not their fault for judging, it is my fault for listening. Is it ok for you to say out loud that you don't think someone's food choices…

Lori, Try the book "Am I Hungry" by Dr. Michelle May. It is also sold under the name "Eat what you love, love what you eat." it is really helping me change my thoughts and habits regarding food and eating.

Thanks for all of your kind words. It will get better and at least I don't have to add "regret for over eating" to my bad week. :)

"All we have is this moment, shining like a star in your hand and melting like a snow flake." There is no starting over. There is no going back. There is only moving forward and making healthier choices. Good for you!

I let the site pick my goal but I am not a strict calorie counter. I don't check to see if they look right and I don't decide what to eat or not to eat based on the calorie goal. I try not to let ANY outside factors determine that for me but to listen to what my own body is telling me. I lost 50 pounds in 2010 and i've…

Hi I'm Lexie. I have more than 100 pounds to lose and more than 100 friends to gain :happy:

Went to a free class at the library for this and she made some awesome chicken nuggets.... I don't have amounts because I typically do not measure but here is the jist of it: Preheat oven to 450 Put a cookie cooling rack on a baking pan with short sides and spray with cooking spray (You don't have to do this but if you do…

As far as weight loss is concerned I am absolutely convinced a calorie is a calorie. Your body sees it as energy and uses what it needs and stores the rest whether you get the calories from steak, potatoes, candy, fruit or vegetables. HOWEVER as far as NUTRITION is concered.....sometimes your body needs the vegetable,…

I have a sign in my kitchen that says, "If I am not hungry, what I need is not in here". I have three choices when I think about food and I'm not hungry. Each comes with consequences. 1. I can eat anyway. Consequence: If I eat when I am not hungry my body has no choice but to store that food for later. 2. I can distract…

Starting size was 28 Current size is 22-24 End result/dream size: Being whatever size I need to be so that my weight doesn't hold me back from doing what I want to do. :) I don't have a number in mind.

I eat them whenever I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want them. During "certain times of the month" that is every day. Other times I can take it or leave it. I lost 50 pounds in 2010 and in January 2011 I've lost 13 pounds so far.I believe this is directly related to learning how to recognize my habit eating patterns and…

their new fries DO suck!
-
The thing to remember is the cheeseburgers and fries will only make you feel better for as long as you are eating them...and being emotional it will probably go faster than usual even...then you will still be mad/stressed AND uncomfortably full and regretful. If you are not hungry, cheeseburgers won't help.... Imagine if…

we all fall victims to judgement now and then....judgements from ourselves and from others. You are not one thing. You are not your weight. You are not your tummy. I don't know anything about you so I am going to use general terms here..... You are not selfish....though sometimes you may behave selfishly. You are not…

I love it. I love knowing my body will ask for what it needs if I just listen. I have days where I eat more than I need or things that others consider "bad" like chocolate but I don't feel guilty about it, I don't "start over" I just continue on. I don't punish myself with workouts anymore when I eat more than I need. I…
