OMG I know the feeling! Can an old fart toss you out some thoughts that helped me? Here's the biggie I needed to get into my head: "This isn't a game. This is deadly serious. If I don't make getting in shape the ULTIMATE PRIORITY in my life I won't ever be healthy. Everything short of the health and safety of those around…

I posted this in another thread in regards to binge eating. I'd like to share. This is my story. I'm not trying to tell you to do anything other than to consider my path. Maybe some of this will speak to you. I lack even a modicum of self control. I love(d) all things I could smoke, snort, pop, or rub on your belly. I quit…

I found that cutting out drinking beer has sped up my weight loss significantly. 1) I can't have one beer 2) I can't resist bar food 3) I don't have confidence in MFP's beer nutrition entries

I have no concept of what it means to only eat one cookie.

Seriously dude, what's wrong with eggs? 90 calories each, easy to make, easy to carry. Are you just burnt out? Why haven't you filled out your profile or made your food diary public?

This is my story. I'm not trying to tell you to do anything other than to consider my path. Maybe some of this will speak to you. I lack even a modicum of self control. I love(d) all things I could smoke, snort, pop, or rub on your belly. I quit drugs and smokes a long time ago. I learned I can't control myself when did…

I live on these things! They smell HORRIBLE out of the bag. rinse them like crazy. They won't have any odor if they are rinsed.

I'm so glad I don't live in Edmonton. A year ago they would have got all my money.

Right behind you, brother!

I love cookies. If I could I would melt them in a spoon and inject them.

Sleepsnacking?

Booze. Solamente.

Tomorrow you're gonna wake up 1.5 pounds lighter.

I did a quick web search of happenings in Cumbria, England. The dog shows alone would keep you busy all week. Put that pretty puppy into a show (pet division) or a jumping competition or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLGKisgE5_M

Open the bag of potato chips. Add 1/2 cup laundry detergent Add 1/2 cup of water Shake well Throw in Trash OK Seriously, I gotta make a lot of assumptions here. This is emergency food - not gourmet. Defrost the peas till soft Take the 1/2 onion and dice it into 1" squares. Slice the sweet potato into 1/4" slices Slice the…

Congrats! I've had my FitBit Surge for about a year. It only comes off when I'm in the shower. Okie Extremely accurate. Ive tested it over fixed distances, fixed number of steps, etc. and it is within 1%. My girlfriend's identical Surge is not nearly as accurate. Im unaware of adjustability. There is an entire Fitbit group…

I love my Hokas: http://www.hokaoneone.com/ They are the Rockports of running shoes. Cushy with tons of support.

You need my Super Secret Lowcal Lox and Bagels! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/view/89203844959853

I've failed 95 times. Failure is normal. It is good. It is a critical part of the path. Just keep going. Keep logging.

We all have this problem. I'm personally convinced that binge eating is directly linked to carbohydrate, especially sugar, addiction. It has taken me over a year of attempts to finally get off the sugar train, cuz, well I love sugar. I no longer binge eat and I'm dropping weight like crazy. Take a look at the many low carb…

MOVE TO HOUSTON!

I think a more fun game would be: "Let's try to super-accurately hit our daily calorie goals for the next 12 weeks"! I'd totally play that with you.

Any week you loose weight is a victory.

I try limiting my coffee to only about two or three pots per day. ;)

Flaminica - I love you! @ggillen412 - Listen to this wise woman! Totally agree. I live on Mio style drinks. They helped me stop drinking sugary drinks with hundreds of calories. Are artificial sweeteners bad for you? Maybe - but not as bad as the horrible full calorie drinks they replace. I'm not one to tell them to stop…

Forever. Sugar is delicious. So is alcohol, nicotine and cocaine. I love all of them. I had to stop using them so I wouldn't die so soon. Whenever I drive by a donut shoppe I imagine the sign "Donuts" replaced with "Meth". Really. It helps prevent the driveby snacking. Keep in mind I lack any willpower whatsoever. Took me…

Dude! Please, just eat whatever you want at first. Eat the crap you've always eaten for a while - but log accurately. Like super accurately. This is the initial power of MyFitnessPal. The shock you get - not only on the amount of calories in food but the total amount of calories you consume per day - will provide your…

Thanks for opening your diary - it really helps. Thyroid will create some affect here but thyroid does not make calories appear out of thin air. Please do a search for "thyroid" and see the many fine articles written on this forum in regard to thyroid. I'm pretty sure that, like me, you're not accurately tracking your…
