  • Happy March Everyone! My name is Ashley, and I am new to the group. I had been searching for a group to join and reading your comments and feeling such a positive and supportive vibe, I thought I'd jump in! I was an active member of My Fitness Pal years ago, and after successfully losing 85 pounds, a HUGE milestone, I kind…
  • That's a hard place to be in and definitely more common than you may think. But I agree with TavisToad, you have to figure out what triggers the binge and start to deal with those battles first. I used to binge eat. My triggers were pain, stress, anxiety, and fleeting, but overwhelming, feelings of not being good enough,…
  • Wow, just reading some of your posts on this page has my hope just overflowing. I so long to get to the place where my little ticker says 100lbs gone, but I know it's a process. It didn't come on over night, and I know it's not going to go away like that. I keep telling myself to enjoy the journey rather than obsessing…
  • You can add me too! I am an elliptical nut, but I can sure encourage ya! And GREAT job Amka...our goals are similar! :-)
  • Mr. Knight, I just redid my MFP profile, and its saying 1930 should be my calorie count. Doesn't that seem high? Or will more calories help you burn faster?
  • Oh, I definitely don't want to lose muscle mass. I try to put in the machine as much info as will let me, but exertion level, I'm not sure I've even heard of. I am still pretty new at this, and trying so hard not to "mess up". Can you suggest any articles I can study up on?
  • I'm losing about 2lbs a week. My 1500 is pretty honest. And I am watching my sodium and sugar content very closely. I am working out too, so if I need a few extra I just dip (very little) into my exercise calories. I am trying so hard to keep up my 2 lb loss/week!
  • Thanks Everyone!! Thankfully, the elliptical tells me how many calories I'm burning at the gym, and I use the Nike app when I walk to let me know the calories burned. I would definitely be in a bad place if I had to guess! :-) I just want to make sure I am not slowly sabotaging my progress my dipping in to those exercise…
  • I would love to be a 10, which I don't think I've been since maybe age 10. :-) Looking forward to getting back there!
  • Hi Aly! I'm new too! I too have a long way to go, but Inch by inch right! :-)
