  • Eat too many carbs and you start to crave them constantly! High protein diet has been around forever and it is always a success; plus your appetite decreases substantially. Dad was manager of the Beverly Hills Health Club in Hollywood on Sunset Bl 1956-57-58 and he and the other weight lifters were doing it then. His…

  • We're with you sister. Between now and asking someone who knows more than we do, you might keep a notepad nearby and jot down the time of day or night you binge; add detail about your feelings-- if any-- that may have motivated it, and make a note if a thought or event with others happened beforehand to spark it. Sometimes…

  • Ditto---time to a break before it becomes chronic! I got PF while a letter carrier--ouch. just exercise in a chair so there is no weight on the feet. when it no longer hurts, try SPENCO insole liners for your supportive shoes---the soft ones with the soft arch support. Buy them on eBay about $10. if you shop around. They…

  • remember food has weight--so if your intestines are fuller, and you drink fluids with it, that may show on the scale; but do not be discouraged that it is fat gain, or even water gain. your body will burn it as you stay active. Don't weigh every day. just keep up with bran cereal so you are regular with elimination once or…

  • +1 the body uses insulin to process sugar, whether raw or from any food --everything you eat is broken down to be burned. if you eat too many calories and sugar for your individual liver and endocrine system to handle, you can develop diabetes. everyone's tolerance level is different and inherited factors as well as…

  • Short answer: you can do both--use this site instead of WW, and do high protein a few days. Since WW made another change to their program [not counting fruit and vegs, and anything goes as long as you count it] I had no success with it at all last year--up 3# down 3# for 2 months. I thought I was doing something wrong, and…

  • DO NOT PUT WEIGHT AND STRESS ON AN INJURY. IT'S OK TO TAKE TIME AWAY FROM THAT RIGOR AND DO FLOOR EXERCISE OR WEIGHTS INSTEAD. OTHERWISE, THE INJURY NEVER GETS A CHANCE TO HEAL COMPLETELY AND IT ENDURES WORSE HARM. ATHLETES WHO DO THIS END UP WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION. IT MAINTAINS ITSELF IN AN INJURED CONDITION THE REST OF…

  • He's a man who believes he is in control--of himself ...and you. So let him believe it. You do what is healthy for you and don't give up.. The best testament is your success. Food is his drug of choice right now. When everything else is depressing, at least food feels good. You may not be able to have say in what he eats,…

  • +1 KEEP YOUR MIND ON YOUR GOALS. SUCCESS IS THE BEST REVENGE. AFTER READING ALL THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK HERE, FORGET ABOUT THAT AND DON'T TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN TO YOURSELF. REHEARSING IT GIVES IT ROOTS AND CREDIBILITY, AND IT'S A LIE! YOU GO GIRL! SAY TO YOURSELF, I WILL GET THERE.

  • Menses can stop with too much exercise. One hour is enough. Many marathon runners experience this cessation. The body is in survival mode. Not healthy! Take it easy on yourself! Stressing about all of this causes more harm than good. Please do not make yourself vomit. Once on that merry-go-round it's nearly impossible to…

  • In order to lose, we all know you have to burn more than you eat. Try eating no more than 60gm of carbs per day, like a fitness pro couple I know told me. Put the ego aside, and only lift light weights for tone and to burn cals. until your each your goal. DO NOT EAT AFTER 6 PM.
