I can't do 1200 cals but that is the minimum amt for women. Men get 1800 cals a day but we only get 1200. Staying around 1300 is pretty much fine. I don't exercise all the time but I try to. Figure it like this 300, 300, 600, and a 100 cal snack of popcorn. You should be good to go with that.

HALT - don't let yourself get too Hungry Angry Lonely or Tired AAA - Awareness Acceptance Action If you don't share it you'll eat it (something like that)

Exc share! Here's some things I do, but ymmv. Hungry: I eat popcorn with Mr. Kernal's toppings. http://www.popcorn.org/NutritionRecipes/NutritionYou/NutritionalInformation/tabid/96/Default.aspx I spray my popcorn with water, I have an air popper now too.

YW :) I'm here for you (((hugs))) EDIT: Exercise also means just SIMPLE things: Did I walk to the store or ride my bike to the store? It doesn't have to mean anything big like - did I run today? I like running at home to videos (see my profile) but I haven't been doing that lately. What I have been doing for exercise is…

What browser are you using?

Not sure if Caribbean Cuisine is the same as Indian, I think it's different. You might try to find it in a Caribbean cookbook? Maybe this? http://www.jamaicatravelandculture.com/food_and_drink/curry_chicken.htm

Definitely get what those cal counts are before you eat stuff. Some innocuous stuff can be big cals! :)

All the things you mentioned PLUS for me, eating under my calorie plan. Then there's some things that I have added into my "abstinence" routine - Did I exercise? I really think for me, total abstinence means under or on my cals, and doing exercise. Then I feel totally abstinent. Those cals mean a lot to me, a lot to my…

Thx everyone! :)

I have a few fat free Indian cookbooks on my kindle. I am always looking for Indian recipes. Anything by Sandeev Kapoor is great. He is a master Indian chef imho.

I love Indian food too. One of the things I learned from a fat free indian recipe book by someone who is Indian is to fry the onions in water and add the salt to them then. Yes it's much more fat free that way, and sometimes I don't even use oil in my Indian recipes.

Hi I'm in the Bay Area, you can friend me if you like. I'm in the North Bay. I am in Overeater's Anonymous. It is really helping me, and I use MFP in conjunction with OA.

I'm 53, but going to be 54 this month. My husband is 36. We met in 2000 when he was 24 and I was 41. We've been together 12 years, married for 10. We don't have children, if that matters. I didn't come into the relationship with children - I was always waiting for "the right man". I've never been married before. In every…

One thing that's really good about this chat is that the font will get larger if you want it too. The java chats on 12steps & TRG are limited by the java software. You can also change your color prefs too.

If there are requests for other times let me know here. Let's do this!

Yes, let's set up a regular time. 9 pm PST would be good for me. I'm there right now if anyone is interested & needs to chat. While I love OA, I think OA *with* MFP are a little more different. Some OA members don't really support cal counting and some OA people don't like talking about MFP. 9 pm PST, be there or be…

Bonjour! I just got back from Geneva, lovely gorgeous city too. I sent you a friend request. I totally understand your predicament. What I am doing in addition to counting cals with MFP is going to online Overeaters Anonymous meetings & trying to exercise. That seems to help me most with binge eating aka binge eating…

Hi I'm there right now, so let's have a meeting right now, it's almost 9 pm PST!

Ok well I'm there alone for now. If you guys come in I can start a meeting :) Or if I'm idle please start one yourselves!

ok! Doing it now! go to http://www.mibbit.com/#oa

Ok, there's a network on irc called MIBBIT. I already have a chat group on it (hehe, I'm the only one that goes to it! Hehe). But right, I should just put up an OA room there, and register it. The only problem is that I could not lead ALL the OA chats. I would love to send it off to the OA WS - so they could advertise it.…

Excellent! Still in the thinking stages now. :)

Oh really? Well, I'm thinking more of a chat format. I had an OA chat before, I'm just thinking of doing another one :)

Hi, I'm in OA, I go to the OA meetings online. There's a group here for OA http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/666-overeaters-anonymous-oa Also I am looking for more OA friends. I love OA. I think it really helps with MFP. Please friend me if you like, and join the OA group here.

In OA they say you need a POE - Plan Of Eating and MFP fits perfectly with OA in that regard. You can plan what you eat.

I've been in it for decades off and on. It's wonderful, it helps with binge eating disorder.

I just wrote about this on another thread. This is VERY SERIOUS. It's how I acquired gallbladder disease. I am now doing green drinks - either smoothies or drinks and it works on me well. I no longer have this problem. Please look into that or suffer the health consequences of not having #2 happen.

OP this is actually serious stuff. It's how I got Gallbladder disease (now under control - I still have my gb btw, am not going for the surgery to get it out). What you should do is start increasing your greens and legumes, I just looked at your diary, and you're filling up on proteins rather than vegetables. What you need…

It's why I binged last night - the TIRED one. Thx for replying! :)
