Everyone said it! Heck I'd say reading this thread is enough motivation! It gets easier but there will be some (or most) days where you dread it but you know you will get it done! I like to get my workout in first thing because I know I'll feel crappy and bloated if I didn't. I also drink ice cold lemon water once I wake…

It really depends on the cut and/or material though! Sometimes you CAN fit into sizes smaller than your usual! If it is motivation then sure! It isn't an extravagant investment either so why not! But if it discourages you because you can't fit in then don't. There a plenty other lovely clothings out there that you'll fall…

The best reward would definitely be feeling and looking good!! That said, I have a few material rewards lined up! Vacation in June (I wanna look good at the beach!) Maybe another tattoo/piercing ;)

Summer - 5 The binge - 5 Binge free for: 2 days Pre-logging for today again! (10/4)

Agree with everyone, once in a blue moon is fine! But if it becomes regular then I'd advise you to do something about it. If you get used to it then your appetite might get smaller and hence the less hungry you become, and your body will suffer eventually. Also, it might catch up with you and lead to binging. That's what…

1. Don't set a time limit. Whatever changes you make you have to keep up for the rest of your life to maintain, so be gradual and have patience! 2. Positivity! 3. Read the success stories here! 4. Know that you might have some slip-ups, don't beat yourself over it, just learn from it, let go, and move on. Things can only…

I'm sorry to hear about this ): Since you cannot increase the intensity, then you can only increase the length of your walking workouts! The easiest way is to make sure you get a morning/noon/evening walk, either with someone or with your ipod for music so it's more enjoyable, and also it is a great way to destress! Next,…

I can totally relate!! Just think of the good feeling you get when you wake up without guilt, anxiety and that pudgy greasy bloatedness!! It is totally so much more worth it than any binge!!

You can't spot reduce, but do you exercise? I think sprinting and HIIT helps reduce the mid section! But you'll have to continue to lose body fat overall and it will get better. If you're looking at ab exercises, do planks instead!

being obsessed with calories ):

Cayenne pepper, lemon slices, ice cubes, berries, pumpkin!!!

I don't lift weights but I do cardio fasted because eating before cardio is uncomfortable for me. Also, I sometimes eat til very late at night the previous day so there's lesser of a fasting time there. Agreed that HIIT isn't something easy to do fasted, it will make you feel burnt out! But if you're willing to give it…

Summer - 4 The Binge - 5 Binge free for: 1 Day I am pre-logging Tuesday as a win against THE BINGE because I'm determined to break this today. The earlier I break it the better I will be at beating it!! It's pressing noon here and I'm gonna get ready for my workout!!

Summer - 3 The Binge - 5 Monday still bombed. Still binged. Still nasty. Slightly better than Sunday though.

[/quote] I do think getting a voluntary job or something to actually do that is productive would help me. [/quote] THIS!!! I totally relate.. I was anorexic and bulimic and binge eat a lot and go back and forth a lot and now am at the high end of my weight, struggling with binge eating and also feel like I can never get…

It was the best cardio option for me because it works the whole body, and raises my fitness levels really effectively! Also love it for you don't need any equipment or gym, you just need a decent pair of running shoes and you're good to go! I also like the feeling I get after I run.. Makes it worth the effort to get my…

I'm a food addict and when I binge I literally binge on anything and everything. It affects my weight loss by stopping it. ):

THIS!! Talk to him about how it affects you and to not tell you about his progress on the scale! Also, I'm with you about not being able to be happy about other people's weightloss achievements, especially when they are already skinny to start with.. I'm living with a cousin who is VERY skinny (naturally small boned, very…

SADLY IT TURNED INTO A NASTY BINGE. Sunday sucked. Let's hope Monday would be good x

Jerk. Sorry you had to hear that from him. The more reasons you have to lose weight, the better. Don't bother about the intent of it, as long as it spurs you on, use it as motivation!! And yes rub his god damn face with your Awesome bod! I wish you all the luck love!

I like the treadmill because it pushes me and I get to do HIIT. I can never do interval training outdoors because I just can't seem to push myself as hard as I do on the treadmill. I also don't run under the sun or the rain, so weather constraints bug me! The gym I used to run at also had tvs on them so I could watch shows…

Summer - 3 The Binge - 3 Binge free for: - days I'll count today as a binge. Wasn't too nasty but I failed my goal and so I need to be strict with myself! Today was also a busy and tiring day so that might have made me hungrier! I am hoping to have a decent day tomorrow to make up for today! Still fighting the urge to eat…

I do feel that motivation wise, the gym is pretty neat. There is the financial aspect (since I paid for it I'd better make my money's worth and go!), seeing all the motivated/fit/hardworking people at the gym sweating their butts off (the sense of comradery!!), the classes available to mix things up and keep things…

Thanks ;) I should probably get checked up, I might have ruined some of my systems from my dieting and whatnots... But it is real trouble getting checked up here! But anyways I'm not exactly craving carbs, just saying that I can't sustain a low carb lifestyle so that's not a valid solution for me! With regards to…

Thanks guys for the replies :D Yeah it's such a dilemma for me!! I just find it awkward sometimes when I tell my friends 'hey I need the loo' so many times and sometimes they just give me weird looks and yeah I know I should just ignore how people judge me... Then there are times where I just feel like drinking so much…

The MUST list: Strawberries! Small apples! Carrots! Tomatoes! Pistachios (recent addiction)! The GOOD TO HAVE list: Bread! Low fat cheese spread! Plain low sodium biscuits!

food containers, water bottles, ziplock bags, microwave, ipod, a pair of decent sports shoes!

Your diary is locked so I don't know what you're eating exactly but if you're looking to bump up your calories then look to healthy fats! They come with quite a bit of protein too! Things like nut and seeds, using healthy oils to cook your food, full fat cheese/dairy/other stuff (low fat versions usually have more added…

Aw this is really lovely :) Congrats on all your achievements, your dedication is admirable and inspiring!
