Congratulations! So happy for you!

I've been in a 12-Step Program for 7 years called Overeaters Anonymous. The Program is based on Alcoholics Anonymous, and treats food addiction - which includes binge eating - like a serious addiction (which it is). I encourage you to explore the 12-Step Program of Overeaters Anonymous. The daily reprieve from compulsive…

1. I would encourage you to research a low-carb or keto way of eating/living. Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt's website comes to mind. 2. I would suggest researching and trying a 12-Step Program to help you get on a path of recovery from binge eating/compulsive overeating/restricting [a.k.a. anorexia]. Overeaters Anonymous comes to…

HI Ssiren. You can do this. I'm going to send you a private MFP email to tell you a little about how I've lost nearly 30 pounds and kept it off for the past 6 months without starving myself or over-exercising. Hope you will feel encouraged.

Perhaps check out some Paleo diet recipe books? Just a thought. Hope this helps a little. :-)

I often do three square meals per day, plus a morning snack and afternoon snack, which, on occasion can be like a little meal. Private MFP email me if you'd like me to give you a detailed list of the types of snack foods I eat. If I'm ravenous (low blood sugar) I am more tempted to overeat. It's also not good for my…

I have a suggestion for you. I'll send you a private MFP email. There is hope!

Cut out sugar, wheat, and flour. Try eating 2000 calories per day. I bet the pounds will start coming off.

Are you exercising more?

Bring your own food. Pack it in a cooler. That's what I do.

I weigh-in every 30 days.

Sending you a private message to explain my total abstinence from sugar. I'm nearly 8 months sugar free. Down 30 pounds from my top weight (pre-MFP). I'll tell you more in email message.

Once a month.

WOW!!! Congratulations! Way to go!

Just sent you a private email. :-)

Someone already said this: "because they diet." I agree 100%.

Sending you a private email message.

Wow! Go girl!

Once a month.

Just sent you a private email message in response to your post.

Jaw dropping! Wow, wow, wow! CONGRATULATIONS! You go man!

Watch Dr. Robert Lustig's "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" and see if that is of any help. Type in his name and the title of his lecture in YouTube.

Are you still a vegan? I'm not an expert, just someone who is on a journey to learn more about nutrition and exercise. It seems to me that you are exercising too much. Erickirb (screen name) might have hit a good point for you. If you are eating 1000-1100 calories per day, but burning off 700 exercising, you are…

I think your "gut" is right about the advice you received. On a personal note, I weigh and measure my food and count calories so that I'm AWARE of what I'm eating and how much I've eaten at the end of the day. I have a calorie "budget." I think of dieting as deprivation. Weighing and measuring and tracking calories does…

Cut out sugar. Any kind of sugar: white table sugar, "organic cane juice", "pure cane juice", brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup. Cut out fruit juice and soda. Increase your fat intake. Yes, you heard me right. Increase your fat intake, get rid of all low-fat or non-fat foods (loaded with sugar), and eat…

How tall are you?

Don't judge yourself too harshly. Everyone has a different body type, and muscle weighs more than fat. I am also 5'7". I weigh 160 pounds and am right between a size 8 and size 10 jeans. You look perfectly fine to me. Don't stress. Love your body and be thankful for your health. :-)

Where are you? I'm sending you a private email. :-)

Wow! Go girl! You look so much younger!
