  • mkbarnes, I feel your pain! I went running outside one morning when it was cold (around 29 degrees) and I regretted it terribly! I was coughing and had a sore throat for the next few days. If I don't run in the morning, I just never get around to it. Terrible excuse, but it just never happens. Anyone have experience with…
  • Ouch, today was rough. And I thought Saturday was going to be my rough day this weekend! When I don't exercise in the morning I eat ALL THE THINGS all day. Boo. I love food. And recently have picked up a love for beer that I never had before. D'oh.
  • Oh, and well-done roasted asparagus spears. I like to roast them at 400 degrees with a bit of olive oil spray until nicely toasted, then add a dash of vinegar, salt and pepper. Or soy sauce. Sometimes I'll dip them into ranch dressing too.
  • Pickle spears! Just watch the sodium.
  • Good luck with the move bhnguyen! And Fiji sounds awesome. These past three days I've been really good (I think so, at least!) about eating healthy foods and getting exercise.. but this morning the scale was the highest I've ever seen. That was a good way to wake up this morning - lol. This weekend will also be a challenge…
  • Yes! I ate Fage 0% for years and I still like it just fine... but the 2% is so much better!! I'd much rather eat 2/3 C of the 2% than 1 C of the Fat Free. Much more satisfying and so much more delicious.
  • Yesterday, I stayed right around my calorie goal and I went running! I felt so good at the end of the day because I typically don't exercise much, and I usually go over my calories. I just have to remember this good feeling so I keep it up! Heading to do some body weight exercises now :) 63 days 'til Christmas!
  • 63 days until Christmas! I'd like to lose 7 pounds and be able to run two miles straight. Good luck everyone!
  • Time to start fresh! In a month from now, you'll be so glad you started today. And in a year from now? You'll be achieving fitness and weight goals you never thought possible. The important thing is to not put it off any longer.. You have to start TODAY. Good luck! You've done it before, you can do it again. :)
  • You can definitely get there, mkbarnes! I don't know which holidays you celebrate, but I celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year.. Those are only three days for me to forget logging, enjoy my family, friends, and good food. I'm going to try to stay on track the rest of the time though this is definitely easier…
  • 64 days until Christmas, and I'd like to lose 7 pounds by then! Edit: Well, I'd like to lose more, but that's my realistic goal ;)
  • Me: 5 Binge: 2 This needs to become a better ratio! Eek.
  • Yes! I was with my family this weekend, too, celebrating my grandpa's birthday. The cake was waaay too good. So time to start fresh! I am beginning my first ever Couch to 5k program tomorrow, and am going to work extra hard to stick to my allotted calories. Tomorrow is a new day. We can do this!
  • Fage 2% Plain Greek Yogurt Apples Cocoa Roasted Almonds Eggs Whole Wheat English Muffins
  • So tomorrow marks my 70th day in a row logging on MFP... and I really haven't lost anything! But I'm okay with that. I came here initially to get my binge eating under control and stop gaining weight, and that has worked so far! It's really helped me notice what triggers my binges and be more aware of what I'm eating. I'm…
  • You ladies are all so inspiring! Exercising, both cardio and weights, is something I REALLY struggle with. I get so discouraged when I can't run for longer than 2 minutes... but I have to start somewhere, right?! You all are doing awesome!
  • I am not vegetarian, but was in the past. I, too, experienced hair loss (and fatigue). One of my fields of study in university is Nutrition, and we learn this is a very common side effect.. but should not be considered normal or treated lightly. Hair loss is an outward sign that you may be nutrient deficient on the inside!…
  • You are in treatment for an eating disorder.. I'm sure the best advice anyone here can give is "listen to your doctors". The last thing you should be worrying about is a disproportionately large or flabby stomach. Heal your mind first, hun, then your body will follow suit. Best of luck to you!:flowerforyou:
  • Me: 4 The Binge: 1 Hoping to mark today down as another point in my direction!
  • Depends how bad your periods are. I know that for 1-2 days per month I'll be hunched over in bed, puking all day, and passing out regularly (due to fluctuations in hormones from birth control pills then switching to placebo pills) so exercise isn't quite my top priority then. I know these two worst days will happen every…
  • No binges yesterday! :drinker: Hooray! Me: 3 The binge: 1
  • I scored a 40... ouch. I keep telling myself I'll be able to fight this battle on my own, but I'm coming to the realization I may need help. With therapy or antidepressants.. Does anyone have experience with either of these affecting your BED?
  • October 13-15 Me: 2 The Binge: 1 I just finished a binge and felt SO guilty as I logged it all. Ugh, stress and emotions.
  • October 13-14 Moore: 2 The Binge: 0
  • I'm getting back on track this week after a weekend outing for my friend's 21st (that resulted in no exercise and poor eating for the following 10 days straight!) I recorded my heaviest weight EVER towards the end of last week. Boo. I have done a healthy grocery shopping and planned out most of my meals for this week in…
  • I just discovered groups on MFP, and am so glad I found this one. I'm excited to participate, share my experiences, and learn from you all! Starting October 13th: Me- 1 Binge- 0
  • Thanks mkbarnes and spgebhart! I'm going to play around with it later today and see if anything changes. And branfran, you are making MANY small victories that you should be proud of! Not only are you not gaining, you are not even maintaining, you are LOSING! A 2lb loss seems to be a great amount for 30 days. Stick with it…
  • Today I learned that my scale isn't quite accurate. I first stepped on by myself... it read 130. I picked up two 5lb weights (so I should be 10 extra pounds) and stepped back on.. it read 134. Lost one of the 5lb weights... and it still read 134. Has this happened with anybody else? What brand of scales do you all use?…
  • I have found that eating cereal with 2% (or whole) milk makes it much more satisfying for me. Almond milk just doesn't have the fat or protein content to make a dent in my hunger. Now, I can happily eat one bowl and be full. The never-ending craving that I used to have for another bowl of cereal doesn't happen any more! I…
