I had the same problem for most of 2013. I started writing a journal 18 days ago. Each time I am craving food I feel I should not be eating now I'll make an entry why it feels so important now and remind myself the chips/chocs/whatever are still there in a few weeks time. It helped me so far not to binge and eat the…

Lol, that might sound totally nuts now: if I eat healthy during the months I am not putting on any water weight during TOM. If I ate unhealthy during the weeks leading up to it I put on up to 5 pounds.

I experienced the same and my dietician was very insistent that I need to add breakfast. There is so much information out there for and against breakfast that I am assuming there is not just one way to go. I however realized the following: if I eat my breakfast before going running at the beach in the morning it interrupts…

Just stick to one scales to compare. Mine at home always shows 2kgs more than the one at the gym. The mirror will tell me once I lost enough weight... :-)

Thank you guys for all the replies! I guess I am back to resetting mode at the moment by sticking to 5 short runs in the morning and 2-3 weight sessions per week without adding the long runs at the moment. I had the medical check-ups and iron is a re-occurring issue despite green veggies, red meat and a supplement. Btw,…

The best way is taking a meal to work. I worked in a three shift system before and got into the habit of cooking "double" for the meal I had at home and took the leftovers to the next shift. Snacks are oats and cut raw veggies and almonds...

I am interested to see what comes up here. Battling with a similar problem. Beginning of last year I built up to run 10kms in one hour. I then had to take a long break due to surgery in August and struggling since then. Even half an hour at the speed of 9 km per hour feels super hard.

I eat around 1800 kcals a day. Feel free to add me...

Hi Samantha, Feel free to add me. I am not entirely doing the super food approach but trying to stick to stuff with good nutritional values. S

Don't worry too much - it's just water weight. I am in the same boat. Currently 2kgs extra on the scale. But it's gone once the bleeding stops. Long distance flights have the same effect on me. As for the panties: avoid hot water since it will make the stains stick to the material. Soak in cold soapy water.

It might be helpful to take a supplement. My doctor always recommends to take one next to the green stuff. It seems meat would fill up the long-term storage better than plants therefore the pills.

I always put on weight on the scale when I increase exercise. I heard it's water in the muscles to protect them from injury. It sometimes has an upside too. After traveling I am always scared to weigh in cause of lack of exercise on the trip. However I usually weigh in less cause of the water loss...

Feel free to add me. I am from Germany so we still kinda close by. :-) I started logging again on Monday and the plan is to keep going for 150 days.
