  • First of all, thank you all for contributing, because although everyone's journey to their goal is different, it does help to hear how you got over the obstacles. I guess I've just got to admit that I've an unstable and unhealthy relationship with food. I love it and I dread it, going from one extremity to another -…
  • I'm here with the same goal and also am looking for friends here to motivate and inspire me on this journey. Feel free to add me, I've always been better at motivating people other than myself :))
  • That's really all what I wanted to know.

I calculated my TDEE and BMR as you all advised, and the results are - I don't know to what accuracy - 2835 and 1833.6 respectively. But I don't work, I'm a student, and I go to gym 5-6 times a week at the least. So there you…
  • Sounds like a motivator to me. Count me in! :)
  • That happens. It just goes to show that your body likes the healthy diet better and by bringing back the junk you're not doing yourself a favour. I mean, it's not serious, and if you keep eating, your bowels will get back into a steady relationship with junk, but I think you wouldn't want that. Your body's giving you a…
