Add my name to those who have had mixed experiences. However I found one that was excellent - worked on my son who had had excruciating headaches and pretty much eliminated them. Worked with me on a number of sports related injuries - knees, back etc. He is Palmer trained, works with many serious athletes and uses applied…

Calorie burns don't change that much. If you lose weight, it will go down some. There's an excellent formula for estimating what you burn per mile running (it is still an estimate, though). http://www.runnersworld.com/weight-loss/how-many-calories-are-you-really-burning?page=2 .63 x your weight (in lbs) x miles = Net…

Reading this series was a big help - taking 30 minutes for reading got me thru the "I just want to stuff - never mind that I know I'm not physiologically hungry". Had a cup of hot water and that also gave me something to do that had some soothing value. Best was the sense that I'm not alone in this. My BF and I have been…

Thanks for the work and offering - YES

thanks Elusive Pete and Momma for the LOL. Made my day!

Love to join you. How do I do the friend thing? I'm feeling tons better with exercise and not binging. Give me music and books as well to keep smilin'

I broke my kneecap and went 2 months without being able to hike, bike or swim. Put on 15 pounds and went binge eating regularly. I haven't been this heavy since I was pregnant - 2 decades ago. I want to get into my ski pants. Being fit and healthy is important to me. Close to 60 means I want to be more rather than less…

Refined Carbs, particularly bread, is what seems to get me into the out of control binging. I have more than once eaten a whole loaf of bread - complete with butter, olive oil, cheese, etc. I need to keep it out of the house - and occasionally get a small quantity so that I don't feel deprived. Unfortunately if it is…

As a vegetarian: eggs, yoghurt, nuts, beans, cheese (some also use a good bit of soy product - I tend to avoid it as most is GMO - only do organic) It also may be somewhat surprising that many greens also have protein. in general people do not need as much protein as the average American thinks - even as an athlete or…

thanks for sharing it Donna, After weigh in is very tough for me also. It tends to either feel that all the work didn't lead to significant or any result - or that it's too much and doesn't pay off enough so might as well get some immediate "satisfaction" I appreciate not feeling alone.

Ok, I admit it, I had a binge. Date of binge :9 May Time of binge : 9 pm Location of binge : home Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : sitting in front of the computer - wandering to kitchen Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : alone Approximate calories consumed during…

Congratulations - glad you're giving yourself kudos.

Summary - there is nothing healthy in diet soda drinks If increasing health is part of your goal - avoid soda.

Hi Checking in for the first time here - still haven't figured out how to get photo in or the weight bar. I have three goals for May 1. Go all month without a binge day 2. Track everyday 3. Start weight training - I've heard that 30day shred was good - anyone have experience with it? Yeah - I've done 12 days straight below…

Best - organic with the only ingredients peanuts and salt. Too many of the popular brands and the "no stir" have added sweeteners and not so great oil.

THANKS

The author says that most of us bought into the idea that whole wheat was healthy (I did) and that the way wheat is now isn't healthy - ( it may be that Europe has a different type of wheat) He cites lots of research as well as anecdotal stories of illnesses eliminated and weight lost. I have NOT eliminated whole food…

Thanks Graelwyn, I particularly appreciate the exercise suggestion. That's what i know less about. Will give it a shot. Monday - 50 on each side - I only have 5 lb weights so will try two in a hand and see how many I can do. Did you start with 50 or work up to that?

and nice job giving yourself credit!

Way to go! At the end of a long day of coursework - including having to make a half hour presentation - all I wanted to do was veg out. Managed to get myself out walking and - like you- went a bit over an hour - AND I feel a lot better.

What's it about? What was helpful for you from it? thanks for mentioning it as I'd seen it listed.

Thanks DM, I've gone a week with no binging and very healthy eating. So if this is better, I hate to think of how it was (I'd been literally not looking at myself). Getting outside to exercise did help - I ran and walked for an hour - so I'm feeling less discouraged. (and am sitting at the computer sucking it in like…

way to go

Thank you for your factual information and poignant reminders. It's all too easy to see thru the lens of our own biases. I appreciate your perspectives and reminders.

I just read it. Found it was interesting. Pretty interesting research that the wheat we eat today is very different from the grain called wheat of only 100 years ago. I had noticed that I didn't feel as good when I ate much wheat - mostly bread for me - tho some pastry like scones.. It did seem to trigger an addictive…

My doc said I am hypo but I'm not really sure. Acupuncturist thinks not. I have some symptoms but not others. Just read Wheat Belly so I'm focusing on not eating wheat - hard 'cause I love good bread. I'm now minimizing grains but not eliminating them.. I found the book interesting but I hope he's overstating. Anyone else…

Cool idea, Wishing you well with it.

Here's another one joining. I went 7 days in a row in April w/o a binge. Here's to May and continuing no matter the fall offs. Best to each one here! guess i need to find a photo as i like seeing other people.

Woodsy, I like and appreciate your specifics. Thanks for being here and posting
