Uh...actually, I feel like my way of doing it is far less "force[ful] than anything I've done in the past. And please don't misunderstand: I don't 'jump between diets.' I've just struggled with weight-loss for many years, so I have a lot of experience with a number of different diets. And, of course, 'perseverance' is the…

I've had one before, but it was kind of a hassle (and sometimes I thought it contributed to my binges, if that makes sense), so I got rid of it; however, I often find myself wishing I still had it. You're right--I need to get one because A. what you said about the weights on packages B. I've been a lot better not bingeing…

Rice Report: I took everyone's advice, and some modifications are worth mentioning. I measured out the rice (1/4 cup dry), and increased the liquid. I used 1/2 cup V8 juice and 1/2 cup low sodium free range chicken broth. I increased the liquid because, in the past, the liquid absorbed/evaporated while the rice kernels…

Exactly. It can get very confusing when trying to figure it out!

I was just wondering if anyone had experience cooking one serving since often cooking times vary when we reduce amounts by a significant quantity. Sometimes it's hard to achieve the same effect (quality-wise) when we change the recipe-especially by THAT much. Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate them.

Thank you. I was under the impression that one serving was 1/4 cup cooked, but when I think about it, that seems quite ridiculous. I'll try it that way and see how it goes. Thank you so much!

"but it was my ex boyfriend who would call me such degrading names and everytime id start to gain a little self confidence hed shoot me down and tell me i was in denial and didnt have the right to think anything good about myself or that i deserved being treated any other way than disgusting." Sounds like you've already…

Yeah, Girl~Start by changing that name! I can relate to so much you've said, and you really helped me because sometimes I feel like I'm being ridiculous by having those feelings. Ridiculous or not, they're legitimate feelings, but I agree with another poster that we should use those feelings to motivate ourselves! The good…

I'm also 5.1 1/2, and I would like to lose 20 pounds. My eating habits are terrible, and right now I'm just doing calories in/calories out. I realize that A LOT of people believe that that's no good, but this is my sixth day, and I'm going to try it out for a while. I have tried every diet in the book, and none of them…

I'm just checking in for my fourth full day of IF, and it's going very well. I'm still having to combine it it MFP, but so far, I have stayed within my calories--except that first day, and I'm finding that the fasting is making me feel very good, sleep well, and I haven't binged. I began a binge yesterday, but when I put…

Well, today I went a little over my calories--I ate about 100 too many--but I feel like I would have done far worse if I hadn't put myself within an eating window. I fasted from 5pm Saturday night until about 11am Sunday morning. I made a little panini sandwich and then had two waffles and a candy bar. Then I binged on…

I've been a binge-eater for many years, and, in the past, I've been able to maintain a decent weight; however, this is no longer possible for me, so I've decided to try IF. I did it for a few days a couple of weeks ago--felt wonderful--and then 'fell off the wagon.' I have begun again, and I am hoping for good results.…
