agree with everything you said

I try to be consistent no matter what. That way I can see the different patterns with my weight and eating and know what to expect.

For me binging is about control. I can go over 500 calories and not consider it a binge because I plan it (if not just the day of) and have a mental cut off (whether it is calories or a food) when that happens. If I can't stop eating even after I tell myself, "this is the last bite or cookie", then that is a binge to me.…

Wow, that is great! Keep up the good work!

Don't buy snack/junk food because if it isn't in the house, it is easier to resist

Wow these are some really good tips! a lot of them I haven't even thought or heard of. I love the one about making a list and going back to it later. Seriously good tips from everyone who responded so far. Good question OP!

I'm sorry you are going through depression. For me, quitting my job actually made things worse. I was more isolated, less human interaction, no feelings of gratification from doing a good job, etc. You might be completely different though! I'm sure people will recommend that you go to a doctor, if you haven't already. What…

The trainer I met with said weights three times a week, cardio five times a week. It probably depends on the person though. Do weights before cardio if you do them on the same day

My best relationships always started out like this!

banana,uncured bacon that I bake by the package and save the leftovers in the fridge to warm up quickly and unsalted nuts of any kind

I was just about to post regarding this. I am a beginning runner and will definitely be thinking of her and her sweet family today

I had it right after I gave birth to my baby and had just started working out (I think I was 275 pounds at the time). It really does hurt and hinders you! Personally, what helped me was cutting down on sodium (I don't know why? Maybe it made my feet swollen a little although they never looked swollen) and losing weight. I…

This is pretty interesting! I wish it were the Eagle themselves instead though.

wow what an awesome journey! That is just as amazing you have been able to maintain it. You must feel amazing!

it seems like people are misreading the question, she is looking for ideas and didn't even mention anything about a deficit or what she doesn't eat? I like a sweet potato hash with green peppers onions and tomato, uncured bacon, and one egg and one white scrambled. I add a tiny bit of old bay, pepper, and a bit of brown…

I don't know but Great job with your weightloss that's awesome!!!!!!:smile:

It depends also on what you consider "healthy". To me real healthy foods are organic/grass fed, no gmo etc. and yes those are more expensive than non organic, etc. Also, if you are really in a tough financial situation and literally only have $5 to feed a family of four for the day and no one has eaten the whole day and…

Sweet Potatoes Fruit Vegetables in general

I love this topic title

that's interesting because where I am from I just hear sub. And to me a poboy is only a hoagie roll with fried shrimp. And I have never had one, I am mainly familiar with it because of top chef/food shows.

I don't know about the OP and I do see what you are saying but IMO, it is hurtful because being fat is socially unacceptable/synonymous to ugly pretty much. Even if it is true, it isn't like they are pointing out something nice about you (such as you have pretty eyes). I am only saying this because a lot of people, esp.…

I'm sorry to anyone who went/goes through this, it is really discouraging and annoying! I remember when I was maybe 12 my cousin saying "My mom and dad (aunt/uncle) said you are fatter than a normal kid your age". He was around 7. Obviously, that stuck with me and I feel that it kind of set a bad taste in my mouth with…

I eat more when I am home with the baby on a regular week than going to my families house for Christmas/vacation. I guess I eat when I am bored. So I actually lost 2 pounds but I am sure I will gain it back now that I am home (although I am trying not to)

number two although both pictures seem like the dude works out much more than the average guy.

Yeah, I was thinking that and then I had my husband listen to my answers and confirm my answers are really what I say. So, I don't know lol. But it seems pretty accurate in general! There were phrases I hadn't even heard of; like a special word just for the night before Halloween? Interesting quiz

that is so funny, he would assume that first. Congrats!!

To get to my goal weight, amongst a million other ones:)

I didn't think they were that great, until I tried White Chocolate Raspberry. Heat it in the microwave for 10 seconds, flip it and then 10 more seconds. It is really really good! And they really do fill you up I had previously tried peanut butter chocolate and lemon pie or something like that

white chocolate raspberry!! heat for 20 seconds, it is so good I've tried some lemon one and peanutbutter chocolate and I didn't really like either

it always surprises me how people are so rude on the internet. anyway, I used to have a lot of fruit shakes and it didn't work for me at all,. Maybe there were a lot of vitamins in it but it didn't keep me full. Since switching to a protein powder and almond milk (and pb2), I have found more success. They have vegan…
