Pretty much every time I binge:(

I started doing the TDEE less 20% thing. I'm not going to lie and say that it has cured my binge eating but it definitely takes the pressure off and food is less of an issue. The exercise I do means I can eat 1700 calories per day which seems so wrong to me after years of restricting to 1000-1200. The emotional eating…

I did a temporary job for 3-4 months where I had to travel down to Cornwall/up to Scotland every 2nd week and stay in holiday parks. I worked ridiculous hours, I would usually get the early flight down on Monday (5ish) then come back on the 9 o clock flight on the Friday. I would also work from 08:00 in the morning until…

I have been struggling with constant colds for the last few months but otherwise I usually do 2 x aerial dance class (trapeze/silks/lyra hoop), 2 x climbing sessions and then I try to do 30 day shred on a morning at least 5 times per week or I replace one of those sessions with a 14 mile cycle to work (spring to autumn).…

Aerial dance (trapeze, silks, hoop and rope). It's amazing!

Me 8 Binge 11 :(

I had three sessions quite a few years ago. I was having IBS like symptoms because of a bad diet. It definitely doesn't affect your weight. You feel cleansed but that's probably in your head because you know you've had something done. It did ease my digestive problems for a short time however only increasing fibre in my…

I have an escape plan but I never seem to use it. I have all these great ideas and things that work to stop binges but when I really want to binge it's almost like when smokers say that they don't want to stop. In that moment I don't want to stop, I don't want to even think about using my escape plan. I just want to enjoy…

I use the Polar FT4 it's quite basic but it does what it needs to do. If I had the choice again I'd get one that stores more workouts and uploads them automatically. The FT7 does this but you need to buy an extra bit of kit at around £40 ($60). It logs time, calories burned, average heart rate, maximum heart rate and time…

Definitely muscle especially with Jillian. Use your measurements rather than weight. Don't worry about how much you're eating you're fine.

I lost 1lb this week including a takeaway and sugar binge on Monday. I like to weigh Fridays because the weekend always goes wrong and I have all week to recover.

Nothing my personal trainer is myself lol! :smile:

We live really cheaply by being less materialistic. We stopped watching television and you don't see all the advertising. I have a monthly budget and keep track of everything I spend and what I spend it on. We make all of our meals from scratch and most without meat (which is expensive in the UK). The main thing is when…

I have very active hobbies so my exercise is very when I feel like it and tends to be different things depending on how I feel. I usually do something every day but if I feel excessively tired I have a rest day. I also have a rest day if I'm doing something big the next day and I need to be fresh for it. I used to go to…

January 10th Sarah - 4 Binge 5 Binged all over xmas and new year started back on the wagon on Monday 7th and seem to be doing well so far. :)

So much for my holiday tips lol! I have spent the entire Christmas week binging on chocolate and desserts. I tried to start fresh on Friday but we went to stay with my boyfriends mum and she always asks us if we would like a chocolate every five minutes. My self control seems to have slipped. Today is a new day and a new…

I'm on day 8 of level 2 today after 6 days at level 1. I don't feel too bad but those squat/plank thrusts always get me. I don't know what I'm going to do when I get to the end of level 3. I'll get bored if I continue it. It's a nice easy 25 mins when I get up before work. I'll have to find something else. I'd like to…

Best to do it now rather than later :)

Been doing it in the morning before work which is great cause it doesn't get in the way of my day. On day 2 of level 2 and have done 6 days on level 1. Didn't feel much of a step up from level 1 to 2 except I'm more sweaty and out of breath on the cardio. I'm quite fit anyway and am strong from climbing. The abs don't…

I started this morning on level 1. It feels ok for me but I'm not as strong on the press ups so I'll stick with level 1 for a few days to build up some strength and tone. My boyfriend was wondering what all the jumping about was this morning. I live in a block of flats I wonder if I'm annoying my neighbours!

I am 5ft 3" and when I was 7 stone 10 pounds I was really thin and people were worried. I think 6 stone 8 pounds is quite underweight. I know it is easy for me to say but you are underweight and shouldn't worry. If you are overly concerned about your body at this weight I think it would be of benefit to see a counsellor…

My mum buys me a lot of chocolate for Christmas and there is always chocolate in the kitchen at work. Christmas day is one long binge. I usually keep a small amount of the nice Christmas chocolate for myself as a treat and take the rest into work so that it is not in the house. I also give some to my boyfriend to eat as…

Good luck! :smile:

Knitting?

Erm anti-social much? My boyfriend complained when I sat 1 row in front of a guy in the cinema when there were loads of chairs free. I wanted to sit bang in the middle and that was the best seat so I sat there. Don't know why people have such problems with personal space. Don't get me wrong I don't go about getting really…

I totally agree with the last poster "overcoming binge eating" by Chris Fairburn is excellent. I have just read it and have been following the advice for two weeks, so far no binges but it will take some time and I will probably binge at some point. I got it from the library (stocked in most in the UK as recommended by the…

I have just read overcoming binge eating by Chris Fairburn and started following the advice in it. It is a brilliant book and so much of what is written makes sense. The first half is all about binge eating disorder and the current research/thinking and the second half is a programme to help you recover. One of the main…

I'm already quite fit so it's more for health than weight. I binge on chocolates and sugary snacks and it makes me feel tired all of the time. I don't have a massive issue with my weight apart from the fact that it hinders my sports. It's much easier to climb when you're lighter and I was doing yoga the other day and…

You don't have a long way to go you look great. Your face has really slimmed down. Wow
