i get like this sometimes. but i feel so just blah that i miss feeling awesome. i'm not one of those people who have instant side effects, i just wake up one day and realize i don't like how i feel. welcome back!

i'm your twin! 5'7'' 160lbs gw 140ish pounds maybe, depending on muscle!

hi! i am 24 cw 160ish gw 140-145 5'7''

hi! i'm kinda in your shoes! 24 cw 160 gw 140ish 5'7''!

for me, an active youngish female, and my husband, a 6'4 youngish dude, we spend between $300-$400 a month. depending on how simply we eat. i am 99% paleo most of the time and my hubby is like 70%. he still eats random pizza and sandwiches and such. we shop at costco and tj's. eventually i'd love to get a CSA

hey! i'm kinda your twin! i love to lift, am 24, 5'7'' and about 160 right now. my goal is around 145ish. not sure. depends on how much muscle i have!

Hi everyone! I am around 5'7'' more or less, and am around 160 right now. my highest was 180, and my lowest was 115. I thnk my goal is around 140-145. I am young and pretty active, so i think that'd be right for me. i was 130 in high school but now i have... womanly hips :)

i feel like i am always all woo-woo on here, but seriously, don't focus on ANYTHING else other than taking care of yourself. don't focus on being "paleo." you don't get a medal for being paleo or perfect or anything. just take care of yourself. binging is so hard, and i find usually it's because i'm trying to push myself…

mine's around the same. MFP recommends i eat 1,500 cals a day, which for me would be STARVATION! other calculators have had me with my activity level needing around 2000-2200 cals to maintain my weight, and i find that to be where i feel the best. another thing that helps is make sure you eat plenty of fat withing your…

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at 19, so in a way, i get it. i've never felt pain quite like chronic fibro pain, and it impacts EVERYTHING. energy to shower, hang out with friends, sitting comfortably on the couch... EVERYTHING. so i get it. my suggestions, if i may be so bold? treat yourself with gentleness. i started…

i know this feeling. some days, there is no limit to your stomach! sending you a hug. i find if i exercise my mind, and sometimes my body as well, it passes. and i dont have regrets.

you might have a food allergy, or be eating too MUCH fiber!

i hope you are just trolling. please tell you you aren't really wanting that? sweet girl, you need a hug and please get yourself to a counselor. this is NOT healthy behavior and will damage your body in ways that are hard to repair. you deserve more than that!

sweet girl, it's so normal to emotionally eat. you are not a junkie, you are learning to comfort yourself and food is the only way you know how to deal with emotion. please get yourself to a professional counselor and start talking all this out. you deserve peace and freedom. shoot me a message if you need anything and i…

i think that's pretty normal to go through it recovering from ED. i think if you choose to shortchange your health to achieve a certain look or put yourself in harm's way or maintain an unhealthy bodyfat for the way you look, then you are in trouble. i think your BF looks LOW from your profile picture, but if your doctor…

i COMPLETELY agree. if we pay, and we are courteous and friendly, why shouldn't we get what we order? it's not a stranger's house, it's a restaurant :) be brave but friendly! i usually say something like "hi! thanks for waiting on me. i have a bad reaction to all bread products, and would LOVE to avoid a (doctor's…

diagnostic medical sonography! ultrasounds :)

hi friend! i have an open diary and eat paleo (with an occasional splash of milk in my coffee or sprinkle of cheese on a salad) and you are welcome to peruse. i am NOT perfect (yesterday was a total fail!) but i do eat gluten free always and almost always dairy free. good luck! start small and cook food they love. it's…

also (sorry to blow up your thread!!!), i just looked at your log. if you are low on calories, PLEASE don't eat low fat yogurt and egg whites! that is not paleo! eat whole fat things, and you will feel so much better!

wow... you have a lot on your shoulders!!! girlfriend, rock out on those egg yolks. yum!!! try chocolate avocado pudding! there are millions of recipes on pinterest. and put it in smoothies! also, try making avocado brownies. another way to get more fat is to make sure you use tons of oil when you cook. save your bacon…

no it's not a small accomplishment, it's huge! i know what a demon depression is, and to stand up and face it? incredible. prayers for your journey to healing your heart, mind, and body!

i think the only thing that really happens with me is i get smaller around, and i lose all the fullness up top, if that makes since. when i gain weight, i gain a lot of.... upper boob, for lack of a better term. when i lose it, i still have full cups, just not as much spill over. hahahaha i love this thread.

just a thought? you might be holding water. that is a TON of exercise! what are you doing???

THIS! great advice. especially about detoxing your taste buds. there are so so so many recipes you will never have to eat the same thing twice. but truthfully, if you don't want to change your habits, then don't. no one is making you! if it's worth it for you to pursue greater health, then consider this an option. it's not…

girlfriend, you post a question like this every single day! i just wanna hug you!!! you have NOTHING to be so obsessed about! you are at my dream weight and are super fit! please please please love yourself. you have NOT ruined your metabolism. you just need to take a deep breath, take a step back, and focus on healing…

i'd love to be friends with you! my little sister was diagnosed about 12 years ago and there was really not much worth eating on the market, so we made everything from scratch. talk about a learning curve! but i am grateful because it taught me so much and how to empathize with those with food allergies! and now i've been…

by the way, my husband and i live on about $25,000 combined a year and we eat paleo. it can be done! we don't get... well, anything grassfed except for kerrygold butter from costco. i just pray and offer it to the Lord, and He knows we are doing our best. i feel so much better and am eating so much better, i don't worry.…

i've lost and gained and lost and gained, and my skin has always bounced back, thank God! i'm 23 and have gained and lost 70 pounds in the last 5 years. you can do this!

just my two cents worth? paleo is NOT low carb, necessarily. unless you want to. it's not as easy to eat as many carbs as you were, but it's not low carb by definition! check my logs. i eat tons of carbs (and tons of everything, really!). i think you are thinking of paleo as a weight loss diet, and then you just go back to…

may i lovingly share my thoughts? this is not LEADING to dangerous behavior... this is dangerous. i would seriously consider your relationship to food. science says that most of the time, you don't have to fear gaining weight. unless you have a serious metabolic issue, if you overeat, you will gain weight. period. but you…
