The DBT Solution for Emotional Eating by Debra Safer

Interested

It's not a carb issue for me, but a grain issue. Wheat and oats especially. If I eat either of those things I will want to eat everything in sight for the rest of the day. Potatoes can do the same thing. Vegetables do not. I personally cannot lose weight on the 50/20/30 ratio. I try for 30/40/30.

I started at 315, now at 229. I have set a mini-goal to get under 200 by the end of this year. Next, I want to be 185 by the time of my Spartan Sprint in March. Running will get easier if I am a lower weight. Even though that is technically still 35+ pounds over my "ideal weight" I want to stay there for awhile, learning…

I might be willing once I get my new FitBit charger. That is about 1.75 hours per day for me.

I love mine! It helps me se days when I burn more than the "sedentary" I hae it set for. I have found the calorie burns to be pretty accurate for me.

I got a more "hourglass" shape after a couple of months of heavier lifting. More than anything, it was the increase in my shoulders/chest that made my shape look so different.

I'm disagreeing with the advice not to log your exercise. The Fitbit adjustment adjusts for that, too. For example, last night I did 50 minutes of circuit training. My Fitbit adjustment when I was done was very high. I logged the exercise, and the Fitbit adjustment dropped dramatically (for a bit more than the calorie burn…

I think you have to look at how you feel, too. At one point I was not eating back my exercise calories, and my workouts began to suffer. I find I can't really "bring it" on less than 1800-2000 calories. How much I net depends on the amount and intensity of the exercise I do for that day - about 1/3 of the time I end up…

I do not eat wheat or dairy due to dairy allergy and wheat making me sick to my stomach. I do not replace either with substitute products because (a) it isn't necessary and (b) they are ridiculously expensive. Having said that, I have found good luck with the new Paleo fad's recipes as they do not include wheat or dairy.

No, that isn't what I was saying - I was wondering if it was okay to go under 1250 net as long as ate at *least* my BMR. The Fitbit adjustment was in addition to the swimming and running I did yesterday. Basically, to get to the net calories MFP thought I needed (1520 once I reset my profile) I needed to eat roughly 2400…

I eat at my BMR - 1800 calories MFP says I should net 1250 I often don't net 1250 I know it is a function of how much I work out. Today, for example, I have eaten just under 2000, but my net is 789. My FitBit adjustment is 550, which is because I have MFP set to "Sedentary" but I think I must fall in the "Moderately…

I am allergic to dairy, and don't eat wheat (makes me sick to my stomach.) I pretty much only eat fruits, veggies, meats, and seeds/nuts. Occasionally I will eat oats and rice. This makes it harder to eat a lot (which is good and bad obviously.)

So it is or is not ok to go under the 1250 net calories that MFP set for me? I almost always hit the 1800 calorie mark (BMR), but 10 of the last 30 days I have not hit 1250 net.

I am doing a Roc Race in June. I have done Rugged Maniac 2x, a local 10K, and Tough Mudder. I am going to do another 5K mud run, a 10K, and Tough Mudder again this year. In 2015 my goal is the Spartan Trifecta. I am STILL not a runner. I keep plugging away, and I hope that some day I will be able to run an entire 5K…

I went from 100 pounds to 115 pounds over the past couple of months. I tried 135 but couldn't do it - I think it was more mental than physical, though. I don't bench on a regular basis. I have been doing a boot camp class, but no specific chest exercises, though. In addition, 1 day a week I do a full body workout, but use…

Doing Tough Mudder for the second time in October. I am really training for the Spartan Races next year - I plan to get my Trifecta in 2015.

I workout 6 days a week, with 2 workouts a day on 3 of those days.

I eat 2000 without "eating back" exercise calories, but I train like an athlete at least an hour a day.
