I don't believe in acting that way, do take heart that all women are not that way. Truthfully to me th first girl you mentioned doesn't sound like a real friend, someone that really cared about you would be happy that you are taking steps to become healthier. Also a friend wouldn't try to stir up trouble with your…

:flowerforyou: Thanks everyone, you know you're right, I don't show stress on the outside, but sometimes it is because I just hold things in. I guess I need to take a step back and figure out and deal with what has started this up. Truthfully I think I kinda know what it is already.Hopefully that will make it stop again.…

That's awful, I don't doubt that in your situation most people would develop an eating disorder. The best you can do is learn from your past but try not to let it control you any longer. Have you tried a support group for people with similar eating disorders, sometimes it helps to have someone that is going or has gone…

Too funny! Seriously though they are probably not worth the stress they are causing you. Maybe you could kill em with kindness instead.

Change can be scary sometimes. Try to remember that this one is definitely good for you and embrace it. We are all rooting for you!

I weigh every morning just because it kind of helps me gauge if I did well the day before or if there is something I probably should not have done/eaten. I only log my progress on Satutdays though.

I weigh in on Sunday mornings.

A coworker of mine was on that diet. Thank goodness she did not stick with it. You are only supposed to eat about 500 calories a day on it. HCG is a pregnancy hormone, not sure exactly what it is supposed to do, my opinion is the weight lost comes from starving yourself. Definitely not healthy!

Wow, I never knew there was such a thing until I read this post. Sounds fun. I'd google it, there is most likely info on the web about it and maybe even some contact info so you can get prices.

I agree, you don't want to hurt yourself. I'm sure there will be at least one person there that won't mind showing you how to use the equipment. It seems like they have almost everything on the internet now, so maybe you could find some videos on how to use the equipment also.

That's funny, you made my morning. All in all I don't think she's that bad though, I've heard worse.

My fav workout song is Pink - Raise Your Glass. Friending random people, not weird at all. If they don't like it they don't have to accept the request.

I'd say yes too. If you are not feeling well you should skip exercise and give your body some rest. You should eat too, as long as you don't go way over your calorie goal.

That's awesome! Good work.

Protien powder, strawberries, and a little honey. Yum! I eat that almost everyday for breakfast.

I had a friend that got some very rude comments about her diary from people that thought she want eating enough which made her decide to change hers to private. So, no embarrassment about overeating is not the always the reason.

I'm sorry you are in this situation. Ultimately he's got to want it for himself. No one can make him do it. All you can do is show him that you love him and have his best interests at heart, hopefully one day he will come around. I agree with the others though it sounds like he is depressed or something else is going on…

I would be Chesty Leatherrock :smile: I don't even know what to say about this one!

You are in the same busy as me. I am 30 too and I found out at the beginning of the year that I have high cholesterol and diabetes. We are both way too young for this. Remembering that eating to much fast food and junk is what made me sick motivates me to stock to a healthy diet. I actually found that I like exercising, it…

Awww, that's sweet. I didn't even get a phone call :grumble: . I guess the day is not over yet though. My coworkers brought in cheesecake, cookies, and cupcakes for breakfast, but I didn't eat any of it. I was very proud of myself because cheesecake used to be my weakness.

It sounds very doable. Have fun in Vegas!!!

First of all let me say, I love C25K! I definitely would recommend it if you want to get back into running. I am on week five and I can't believe how much longer I can run now. I calculate my calories exactly how you explained it. I go to the online calories burned calculator and enter my weight, the total number of…

Maybe you should have a heart to heart talk with your wife and tell her how her lack of support and negative comments make you feel. I would hope that she is not being unsupportive on purpose. No matter what though you should be proud of yourself, you've worked very hard to lose weight and to become a better/healthier…

I agree, C25K is great! I am on my 4th week of the program and I am really surprised how much longer I can run now. It's a nine week program though, so you'd only be about halfway through on March 1st.

I agree with the others, those things scare me. I'd do it the old fashioned way. Much safer, and in the end you can take pride in the fact that you did it all through your own willpower.

I'm a mom of a 15, 13, & 11 year old. 1. I refuse to buy sodas. They are just a waste of calories, plus diabetes runs in my family and all that sugar is definitely not something they need. 2. I think having nutrition classes in school is a cool idea, so far mine haven't had one. School food here could definitely use a lot…

:smile: yes, I love tae bo.

Thanks you, for the ideas! I think the diabetes medicine my Dr put me on might be part of it too, she said it also was an appetite suppressant. i never really ate a whole lot before she put me on it, what I did eat was just junk. I think I am going to go and see a nutritionist really soon. I am just totally confused as to…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think when you wake up in the morning you are just really hungry because you haven't eaten for a few hours. I don't think that would qualify as being in starvation mode.

:smile: Welcome. I am born and raised in the South myself. Not only do we fry everything, but we dump a bag of sugar in our tea afterward. I feel a whole lot better now that I'm not eating that stuff. Best of Luck to you!
