Thanks :) After I log my exercise, it says I can eat 2,300 calories which seems like a lot to lose weight. My goal weight is around 132

hahah kshama2001... don't take what I said literally :D Don't worry.. I eat lots of kale.

If I ate it all at once I would, but this is over 18 hours or so. I feel full, but not overly full or sick. I still don't see the problem with banking calories and eating them back on weekends. I listen to my body.. if I ever felt hungry or starved then I wouldn't do this, but I'm full of energy all the time and I feel…

Protranser, you're right.. there is a difference between a planned weekend caloric surplus and a binge. I'm just used to using that word. I don't actually binge. I would consider a binge to be more eating uncontrollably, until your stomach hurts. I don't do that. I feel no guilt at all

Exactly. shell1005... I had those issues because I didn't move. I just sat in my room and ordered 16" pizzas and crisps everyday. I was a mess. I'm full of energy now and I cycle a lot (always eat the calories back). Which is why I'm much healthier. Different strokes for different folks. I posted this to talk to people who…

Not the fact that I'm binging, just what I binge on.. all greasy fast food crap haha!! I enjoy myself though :smiley: My GP told me she was amazed with my recent tests results so it can't be too bad I guess :P

I don't think losing 1/2 pounds per week means I should seek professional help haha!!!! What's strange is that when I was 21 (I'm 23 now) I was a stone or so overweight, and I was tired all of the time. I had tests done and my blood pressure was quite high, I was anemic and my cholesterol levels were dangerous. You guessed…

I go to the pub every Wednesday with them for quiz night and I just drink water or black tea, no problem. It's just when we're all sat in my friends for hours and junk food is everywhere.. that's when I go crazy xD Do you think it's ever ok to do this? Like, once a month maybe? Or is it best to avoid it altogether? I made…

Tbh, I know drinking makes me eat more and it's full of calories I know, so I try not to drink often. Last night was the first time I'd drank in like 6 weeks, but I would've eaten loads even if I hadn't of drank. I've been thinking, and maybe the only way to stop this happening is to stop visiting my friends every week..…

Inspirational!! Brilliant

I LOOVE oreos! I'm also addicted to them :) I take a packet of two to work each day and have them on my lunch. 106 calories of sugary goodness... yuuum, I could easily eat a whole box though which is why I only bring 1 packet into work. I'm craving them right now but I've had enough cals today :( :(

Boredom, laziness, pizza

Wow thanks everyone :) I can't believe it took me 5 or 6 years to realise that you don't have to eat low fat to lose weight... that's what everyone was telling me. I don't understand how people last eating low fat all the time, it's so boring!! Most of these 'low fat' branded foods are unhealthy anyway, it's like eating a…

I don't have treats at home so when I go to a restaurant (two or three times a month) I just have something small earlier in the day and then don't worry about it.

Noooooooo, you're doing it the wrong way. I did that when I was younger and trust me, it'll never work. You need to eat more calories than that, if you want to lose weight. If you eat 1200-500, you can lose 1-2 pounds per week.
