Thanks everyone! I ate a normal amount today. I want to be 120 pounds and am 131... at least that's how much I was before I binged. I want to lose one pound a week.

Looks yummy!

I'm in! I'd love to lose 10 pounds by Thanksgiving. My overall goal is to lose 20 pounds, but I'm trying to be realistic...

I'm 27. No kids, no pets! But I want one kid someday.

I'm more of a Ravenclaw, but if that's full, I'll go with Slytherin

Thank you so much, I didn't know that. My muscles have been hurting a lot. That makes me feel better!

Good idea, thank you! :)

No, but I don't eat much that need to be weighed. Today I had one serving of hershey kisses, two servings of triskets, and a salad with some diced ham and low fat ranch dressing. The ham is the only thing I'd really need to weigh, and it wasn't that bad. If I'm really concerned about the weight of something, like beef, I…

My bad- I technically started months ago, lost 5 pounds, regressed, and then started my recent diet at 161 pounds. But thank you!

My goal weight is 125. I started my diet at 161 pounds. I am 156.8 now. I lost it in 3 weeks. The past 2 weeks have been stagnant. I do not work out right now- I have a leg injury and can't really do anything. I have a desk job and no fitness activity. I did go four wheeling last weekend, that's how the leg injury…

Thank you Jess :) <3

I am 25 and trying to lose 40 pounds

Yogurt has a lot of sugar and can be satisfying Also half a cup of special K cereal does it for me too

Sounds like binge eating disorder. Look into Overeaters Anonymous. I have the same issue :)

I would find a mental health counselor or social worker for information

I wish I could afford to. I spend so much on healthy food there is nothing left to do that. I guess my reward is just fitting into old clothes I used to not fit into

I would eat about 10 peanut butter cups at work, a few little Debbie snack cakes, eat a family size bag of chips on my way home from work, and eat half a loaf of bread with butter when I got home. I have/had binge eating disorder, Can ya tell? :-p

I love them too! But only the low fat kind :)

Check Craig's list too :)

Thank you everyone! Yes I do have a food scale, and I love it!

I can also relate to #17. I am very, very possessive of certain foods, especially cake. I always want the part with the most frosting. I never even thought of stopping to think, is this the last one I'll ever see?

But each breast has a different weight, otherwise that would work :-/ Thank you for trying! :)

Well I used to drink 6 cans of diet coke a day. Now my limit is 2, and I can't have any at all until I drink at least 4 8-oz servings of water. I'm kind of addicted to it :-/ and it does make my skin look bad On weekends I replace the soda with green tea, is that also dehydrating?

Thanks for your responses! I'm surprised so many people don't drink much (if anything) before running. I have tried that before but I got so thirsty and dizzy. Maybe I need to drink more water overall...

What a great list, thank you! I can relate to a lot of the questions on there, especially about jeans. I have one pair that fits and 20 that don't!

I have wanted to see a dietician but I can't afford health insurance. Looking forward to Obamacare kicking in Jan 2014! I appreciate your concern :) and it is very frustrating for me. I'd love to lose weight on 1300 a day

Yes, I've been on diets and tracking intake on and off for ten years. It might be a metabolic issue, because I measure everything and I even have a food scale..

Oh no, I get it. If I eat 1800 calories a day, which is my TDEE (according to the calculator in the original post), I am SUPPOSED to maintain my weight. But when I actually do that for a month, I end up GAINING weight. The weight on the scale goes up. When I eat 1300 calories, according to the original post I am SUPPOSED…

Friends

I should have been more clear. My TDEE is 1800. Consuming 1300 calories has made me maintain weight. Technically I am supposed to have 1200 calories a day right now but lately I have been eating 800 because I haven't been hungry for more. If my stomach doesn't growl, I'm not eating. I meant I have eaten 1300 in the past,…
