This is basically how I feel about it. I also think a lot of people hide behind "fat acceptance" because they don't want to put the effort into losing weight.

Also, do the multivitamins contain caffeine at all?

This is why I stopped tracking sugar. Fruit.

Are you taking them on an empty stomach?

Is everyone in your family a registered dietician or a doctor? If not, go back to what MFP had set for you. You're overeating because 1800 is 600 calories lower than what you were recommended to have as an intake. That's an entire meal or several really terrific snacks to keep you going between meals (try an apple with two…

Myth. I just don't like going to bed too soon after eating too much because I'm prone to acid reflux and I don't like the feeling of going to bed stuffed. It's more of a personal preference. Also, my mom swears by it, so I've kind of grown up with not eating late. ETA: I used to binge in the evening, so leaving calories…

I lost 15-20 pounds in an exceedingly short amount of time when I was 14 or 15 and almost died of pneumonia and one time I lost about 13 pounds (including water weight, though) in ~14 days while struggling with eating disorder stuff (I was eating like 200-500 calories per day; gained a lot of the weight back when I finally…

The Crystal Light packs still have calories in them, and they need to be logged.

Let us know how you're doing. Be careful not to deprive yourself too much or you risk binging. If you're not someone who can make dramatic life changes cold turkey (like a lot of people are), you'll be setting yourself up for failure by setting a goal of "no more fast food ever again, as long as I shall live" if you're…

I looked at your diary. In the few days you've been logging, you've either gone over or eaten several hundred calories under your goal. You need to drink some more water, find some fruits and veggies that you like (add some fruit to your yogurt in the morning, mm!), and start packing healthier snacks/meals for when you're…

Very few. 5 in half a packet, 10 for one packet in 20 ounces of water. I drink it all the time, log it, no problem.

What kind of flavored water?

You look stunning! All of that hard work paid off! Those cookies look so good. Send me some! :)

This.

You don't have an eating disorder. Being under your intake for a week doesn't mean you have a psychological disorder.

This!

Oh man, yeah, this is so true. Stay strong, remember it's worth it!

You look amazing!

You can do it, sweetheart. You sound so much like me, it breaks my heart. But. Baby steps. We can do it. You can do it.

I can relate to this in the sense that I am/was always picking out clothing that is/was several sizes smaller than anything I can/could fit into at the stores. While I've never been happy at my weight, I've never exactly "felt my weight" either. But I also tend to think I'm a lot bigger than I actually am when it comes to…

Not usually, my binges used to be late at night and then I would just go to bed feeling pitiful :laugh:

I find weighing myself every other day helps me. I don't get discouraged with minor daily fluctuations, but (and this is big for me) I don't fall into the trap of "I can binge today because I don't have to weigh in for several days" (which turns into weeks of binging and getting off-track). I need a tighter rope to keep…

"Girly time." :laugh: I love it when some users refuse to say "period." I'm not making fun of the OP or any of the other users who have done the same, it just makes me giggle. I still weigh myself during my period. I guess I like to punish myself or something.

Oh, you look so, so amazing!

I record my weight every other day, gain or loss.

I was here and slacking and sort of renewed my commitment as a NY resolution and I'm still here! I'm going strong!

I don't have experience with their HRM but I like that brand. I have their 7-series blood pressure monitor (wrist monitor) for my severely low blood pressure and it's very accurate--it's been tested against my doctor's office's machines a few times, as well as their pedometer that I got when I was in high school. It still…

My fiancé and I like to listen to Stuff You Missed in History Class! Or others by How Stuff Works! They have some great podcasters!

Holy smokes! You look great!
