I did well for thanksgiving dinner. I ate a little turkey, some plain mashed potatoes without gravy, a couple bites of dressing (im allergic so very limited on the amount I can eat), green beans, and had two small rice crispies treats. I believe that the importance is in letting yourself have a few things you don't…

I also would like to point my own personal story out as an example. I suffered from ED's from 15 years old until my late 20s. I am now 31 years old and in the best recovery state I have ever been in. My ED's started healthy enough as wanting to lose weight and then became an addiction that took control. I restricted…

lol! I think a lot do

The simple answer is yes. The scale is intended to only be a tool to track progress. Coming from a girl with a history of eating disorders I can tell u the scale can be ur friend and enemy. My suggestion as to where u r now, yes stop weighing yourself so often. The mindset u r falling into is where ed's sneak in and tks…

Thank you for all your responses, and especially for giving me a place to vent. And, don't worry, he got his head chewed off deluxe- but this gave me a place to vent before going complete and total ape Sh** crazy on him. I still have the other questions, and don't know what the future holds, but right now worrying about my…

Rofl! This made me laugh. I needed that.

I am am ambidextrous. I think this is part of the reason I don't write left handed. I don't think it was that my mother didn't want me to be left handed, I think she just didn't realize i was ambidextrous until I was older. I write right handed because I never practiced left. I never practiced left because my mom thought I…

Don't view this as a diet. Don't look at this as trying to be skinny. View this as a change to be healthy, for life, and for good. Skinny is no good if you kill yourself to get there. Don't go down the starvation path. It will cost dearly in the end. Just start working out more and view your body like you would your car.…

You've made the first step. Now stick to it. Remember you are capable. And you must maintain dedicated. Good luck!

I am always conscious of what I eat. I thought I would respond to this in light of my pizza lunch today. I believe the best thi ng to do is think overtime I eat. I chose to eat extra thin crust pizza today, knowing that sometimes we deserve a splurge and knowing that today is my typical highest calorie burn day of the…

YUCKY! that stuff made me want to die! I had to call the drs office and tell them there was no way I could drink that crap without something to mask the taste. I had to mix it with crystal light and still had problems choking it down. Nothing like being stuck in the bathroom (because after just a couple sips it goes to…

Great thank you. I'm going to have to buy soon anyway so I will keep that in mind!

Where r all my fellow dancers tonight?

You are free to choose to do what you wish, however you will pay the cost worth hunger, decreased metabolism, fatigue, and hunger. And no, not everyone is hungry is cranky. We are dedicated and working hard and expect the same from everyone else here. Excuses don't get results. Hiding from the scale doesn't get results.…

They are adjustable. They come in different sizes but the standard size fits most people. I'd look at the sizes. If too big u can get a smaller size if need be.

They now have a procedure where they can take your own fat out from other areas and inject it into your breasts. I would be interested in this once I reached my goal weight. U can't do it before losing weight because it is still your own fat and will still behave as normal breast tissues, namely fat and fat loss. U can…

Bump. Anyone?

I wore mine the other day to a dance class with a regular bra and I just wore it lower than usual and still worked fine. U may try placing it about 2 1/2 inches lower than mad see if that works

Yw. I also read it was common among males when lifting. Since I'm not sure the cause, my thinking, at least in my case, is probably from the combo of pushups and weights in 30ds. I've noticed she doesn't do a lot to warm up chest area and I despise her cool downs and stretches bc they are nearly nonexistent. U might see if…

Look at hrms on amazon. They r a lot cheaper. The polar ft4 is what I have. They are extremely worth it when u can afford it. If u r losing size forget what the scale says. I have only lost somewhere around 12 lbs but have put on a lot of muscle. Avoid too much sodium. U can drink tea with cranberry and lemon juice as a…

Yes and if u read on the internet it seems common in people working out with no clear answers on the cause. I think it's either inflammation or an injury. And I've done the same thong with 30ds before too. Ease off that a few days and stop when u feel the painad switch to a diff workout. Mine finallynstopped after a…

what type of workout are you doing? You are going to experience soreness after that much sedentary time, period. However, if you are jumping into a workout intended for someone who has been working out regularly for six months or more, u are going to be extremely sore. Don't ease into thongs too slowly but don't rush,…

I agree with this. When I restricted too low when younger this was a problem. That is why most hair stylist are the first to know when teenage girls are suffering from ed's. I'd increase cals a bit, take a good women's multi vitamin, add more protein, and buy a good quality shampoo and conditioner ( we also wash our hair…

Plain and simple- stop. I was 14 when I fell into anorexia. Don't do it. Stop obsessing over calories. Start eating to fuel your body with lean meats, complex and whole grain carbs, steamed or boiled veggies, fruit, and some dairy. Do u know the results of eating disorders , other than weight changes? Do u know ur hair…

Thank you :happy:

:) Thanks. Just think too many people hurt themselves rather than help by doing this....

I agree with the others who have said that IBS is what doctors say when they are clueless lol. IBS means you have some type of intestinal upset regularly. I had no idea I had food allergies. And turns out, I was allergic to the things I was eating regularly. My doctors always thought I had seasonal allergies. No, turns…

I have lost about 15 lbs so far (my ticker is off because I didn't start until I had already lost some) and don't eliminate. I will say, however, i eat very little dairy only because I am allergic and no eggs because i am VERY allergic. That having been said, I just make healthy choices. For example, yesterday my boyfriend…

I take dance classes but my ballet classes do not have a strict dress code. I like wearing the light weight cropped sweat pant type pants. The ones I have are lighter weight (similiar to pajama pant weight), are cropped below the knee and have the tighter band at the bottom so I can raise or lower them as I want. I like…

First, I would get allergy tested to eliminate food allergies. They said I had Ibs for ten years before I finally get diagnosed with food allergies. Also, try one of the really good probiotics like align. I use the generic. Remember, too, that a lot of our healthy foods cause bloating. Align helped me a lot.
