Perhaps changing the way you view logging every little thing may help. If you see yourself as worth the effort of logging everything you put in your mouth? When your mind says, "oh this is time consuming, it is overwhelming", try countering with, "even though this is time consuming and overwhelming, I am worth the effort…

Sometimes the reasons we over eat or indulge in alcohol is to dull our emotions and it could be worth considering that, as you have cut out what may be a coping strategy for you, that the emotions that were being dulled by the use of alcohol and food are now no longer "suppressed" and are being fully felt. IF this is the…

I read that article and I have found that my rate of loss had almost stopped after a year or so, so all I did was adjust my deficit down a bit to see if that would help me lose. It has! It is still slower than it was in the beginning, but I am seeing the scale go down. I think we need to be aware of our body and then…

To change your weight so that it registers you need to go to "check in" and enter your new weight there. Hope this helps. :smile:

Awesome! You look great. Nice work.

This was happening with me as well and I had to do some investigating. I found that I was eating around 230 calories more than I needed and getting a little lax with the calories in because I was exercising so much. We don't burn as much as we think and we eat more than we think if we are not diligent. I have cut back my…

hahaha....she's too clever grrrr

She looks fabulous in that bikini and I would not! :'(

If it works for you, there's no reason to stop. Enjoy!

This sums it up for me. No one should be discriminated against because of how they look or are perceived. It is this that I find the most offensive.

I don't know if I am doing it right either, but I log my HIIT by the minutes I do low impact, and the minutes I do high impact.

It is basically like an omelette - a yummy banana omelette. Thanks for the recipe.

What if she isn't? You decide.

Bump for recipe....and NO you are not evil, you are now indulging your love of baking AND sharing instead of eating it all yourself! That's my take on it, and I'm sticking to it :wink: :smile:

Something.....anything.

Yes!

I am no expert, but did some research on this a while back for skin allergies. I found that to get the benefits (if there are any) you have to drink the cider vinegar that has the "mother" in it. You would probably find it in the organic/health food section in the supermarket or a health food store. I drank it for a while,…

Exciting! Congratulations. You are going great. :drinker: :smile:

Oh, this is great information. I had been going really well for 8 months and then BAM in the past few weeks the urge to eat has been enormous. I had been working out a lot too, so what you are saying makes very good sense and thank you so much for sharing. This is very helpful. ETA I was also starting to binge and then…

The only way to accurately diagnose gluten allergy is a biopsy from your intestine. Most people do not have gluten allergy, but most likely an intolerance or sensitivity.You will need to see your doctor.

Brissie here!

Congratulations!!

The issue with any carbonated beverage to me is the sodium. Too much sodium is not good for the arteries and can help you retain water. If you like fizz look for low sodium mineral waters. The naturally carbonated ones are the best. If you are not concerned about sodium, aspartame, caffeine or food acids - keep having your…

Different people have differing caloric needs. Its really that simple.

I used to think I didn't have to spend much on my workout gear, and only had one pair of leggings and a few old tops to workout in, BUT, since working out everyday I have found that it is good sense to have fresh workout gear, so why not have some variety and why not have cute clothes for something that has become a very…

This. If I start banning certain foods from my diet, guess what I start obsessing about eating? Yup, those "banned" foods. I just eat them in moderation, meaning, if I can fit it into my allotted kilojoule amount, then I eat it. If it doesn't, I tell myself I can have some tomorrow. A little delay in gratification never…

Maybe it might help to look at this a different way. You have a one year old and it sounds like you take very good care of her and her needs. I am sure you feed her well and make sure that she gets her play time etc Maybe treat yourself like you treat your daughter? Make sure that you get fed well for your needs, make sure…

Some people will like you, some people won't. The desire to be thinner(or not) really has more to do with how we see ourselves than anything else.

I am nearly 49 and I still have my teddy bear that I got when I was 1. How does one give up their best friend?
