You might get a little queasy if you were eating a large meal and then had a heavy workout, but we would be an extinct species if exercise after eating caused problems.

Have you tried the athletic headbands that are cloth and a full circle? https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/f5/2d/7e/f52d7e670e7a402deb39c453b4304562.jpg I used to have hair similar to yours (actually, that's my current picture!) and these seemed to work pretty well. I was a bike rider, though, so I might have an…

I second the greek yogurt, also love cottage cheese, and applesauce.

Yep, I do the same. I like to have lots to eat at night. Tonight was an excellent example - I wanted some alcohol and pizza, so I saved up.

I have this one and it's very nice and simple. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BDS2X2G/?tag=%20taylorusacom-20 All I need is a g/oz option and a tare button (e.g. zeroing out dishes or other things on the scale). It's also nice to have it be lightweight. The only thing that I don't like about my current scale is that it's a…

I like this! I did the side substitution the last time I ate out! Steamed broccoli instead of french fries!

I'll second the binge eating support group. That's the best we can do on here - support you when you're struggling. I have struggled with binge eating ever since I moved away from home, and I was using it as a coping mechanism for loneliness and anxiety. I was also in a high-stress job that did not fit my personality, but…

I was wondering about this. @FatPixiee Check your symptoms and go to a doctor. Better safe than sorry. http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/symptoms/

I'm not sure if these are new but they're amazing:

You are my frozen dinner twin.

Watermelon!

I prefer turkey burgers if I'm stuck inside. I season them nicely and use the griddle to cook them up. If I have an outdoor grill, though, burgers are the way to go. They stay together easier and sear nicer (in my opinion) than turkey burgers.

Women can technically eat 1,000 if they're short. I'm 5'1'' and even I get fatigued if I drift under 1,200 for too long. Try to get the energy in that your body needs. It's okay every once and a while to drop below, but it's important to try to eat more when you're exercising. It will make your workouts much easier. Try to…

For me, I had horrible anxiety, and was using binge eating as a way to numb the pain. I was struggling so much because I had no outlet. I just had work, home, work, home, and I live alone so I had no one to vent to. Finding an outlet, whether it's a person or activity, can really help. For me, it's biking. It's something…

Talk to your doctor and find out where your iron levels are at. If you are using MyFitnessPal to track iron, it may be inaccurate. Micronutrients are often not reported correctly through the site. If it's important that you track iron, use http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods to get more accurate data.

1,800 calories can add up quickly. Are you weighing your food? A serving is sometimes a lot less than it seems.

Something I've had to do is to try and treat the stress instead of treating the stress eating. If it's just normal stress, I can cope by focusing on what currently excites me, and just absorb them. Right now, that's cycling and Game Grumps, so I cope by going on bike rides, reading online bike magazines, and watching Game…

Wear the clothes and makeup you want to wear now - don't wait until you get skinny. Self-care routines help a lot. When I'm feeling down, I do my nails and/or give myself a special skin treatment, like a mask.

Bananas, but only when they're spotted brown. I like them super ripe.

I generally don't crave much in the morning. I eat a greek yogurt and that's usually enough until lunch. Sometimes a coworker will bring in bagels though, and I have trouble because mornings tend to be sensitive times for stress.

I'm just trying to take it one day at a time. I got down to 128 before, and was fairly happy with it. I think I would just need to tone rather than lose more.

If you open your diary, it can help us analyze what might be happening. Exercise is only a small part of losing weight. To open it, go to My Home > Settings > Diary Settings > Scroll to the bottom to "Diary Sharing" and set it to "Public".

If you're struggling with options right now, Paleo may not be the way to go. It's possible to eat a variety of foods in Paleo, but if gluten-free is your intended goal, I would start with that. The Celiac Foundation has a nice list of foods, including grains, that are naturally gluten free.…

I check once a month. It was driving me nut anticipating "weigh day" so I made it less often. It's also nice to never see gains because I space it out enough that fluctuations aren't noticeable.

The mind is a powerful thing.

What is your current workout routine? If you are struggling with meeting your calories, it may be beneficial to find calorie-dense foods that you enjoy. If I need a calorie boost, I love peanut butter and full-fat yogurt (sometimes together). You might also look into a protein powder to help boost energy if you haven't…

That stage is amazing.

Doughnuts have less calories than I thought! It was a good shock.

+1 more. I add a little honey to mine and it's heavenly and way cheaper in the long run than buying their little yogurt and honey cups, which are also amazing.

Another reason to enjoy the currently in-season (in my area) raspberries and strawberries? Why yes, what a nice study.
