I have also realized that my binge eating is emotional and compulsive, and goes hand in hand with depression. I went to see my family doctor to address the depression - I was hoping that would solve my binge-eating. I've started 150mg of Wellbutrin XL - it also suppresses my appetite (some days more than others). I've only…

I want to be able to find this when I'm needing inspiration :) You look fantastic, really great.

12/1: 144.2 12/8: 148.8 12/17: 146.8 GW: 135 I started a strength training program and think I am still retaining some water. I have been doing well sticking to my calorie goals with only one slip up (yesterday). I have been tracking everything and planning on stepping up the cardio a bit this week.

SW: 12/1: 144.2 CW: 12/8: 148.8 <---- yikes!! GW: 135 I'm not sure what happened - I had a not great weekend eating wise but not THAT bad - I did have some drinks at my work christmas party. I'm going to commit to tracking everything I put in my mouth this week and follow my eating plan (5 small meals, focus on lean…

I wonder if you might be able to do some physiotherapy? I'm a midwife and we often recommend an assessment postpartum with a physiotherapist (there are physios that specialize in this area) for women who have pelvic floor weaknesses - this may be more preventative but I wonder if it can be used as treatment as well. The…

You ladies look so fabulous!! Terrific, all of you - inspiring.

It's true that carbs beget carbs and restricting food, making lists of safe and bad foods is a recipe for binging even on the "safe" foods (which seems to have happened with your protein bars). It's a tough road to lose and maintain, to have balance in your life. This is probably something you will struggle with your whole…

My goals are as follows! -Follow consistent and healthy eating habits (no crazy off plan eating on weekends and do not go overboard with holiday sweets) -Get back to being able to run 5km comfortably and in 30 min -Exercise 5 days a week, every week. -Lose 15 pounds (trying to be moderate here, would be happy with another…

Feel free to add me as well (anyone)! I just started CF in May but am so in love. I don't think I've ever loved any type of exercise quite this much! And the people! So nice, so encouraging. The results haven't been too bad either, considering I've only been at it for 7 weeks. I don't usually log my workouts because I'm…

Do you weigh your food or do you visually guesstimate? Sometimes portions can creep up, I know I have to weigh my nut butters now and then otherwise it definitely starts to creep up. What about your activity level when not exercising? Something that can happen is that as you are devoting more of your energy to exercise,…

I'm 23 - Feel free to add me as well!

+1 on the foam roller although it is painful for sure!

Hey! I don't have many friends on here mostly because I have been afraid of putting myself out there - I have been working really hard on being more active on mfp lately, tracking and logging on everyday - normally if I miss I miss for a day or two, but I'm trying not to let that happen anymore. On that note I would love…

This is awesome - so fantastic! What an inspiration to see strong kickass muscles on a lady. Great job.

I went in the coed part of my gym this morning and used the squat rack. It wasn't very busy at all - I did get some curious looks but that's probably because I was trying to figure out how to adjust it to my height! I used 85 lbs (the bar is 45 right?)- I think I could probably do a bit more next time. It felt great - I…

My name's Natalie, full time student (studying to become a midwife). I'm 5'4 and 135-138 lbs. I have been on MFP for quite a while but have not lost much weight! I'm within my healthy bmi range so I decided maybe I should focus on strength training and muscle building rather than weight loss - really I don't care what I…

This is great - you look so strong!

At my gym there's a women's workout area and a coed area - generally the coed area is FULL and there's not a lot of room to do step-ups (not a lot of benches)... It's super intimidating. I know I just need to get in there and get over it but I haven't been able to yet - it's also the timing. I tried one time but I went at…

I bought the book on Friday and I'm starting tomorrow! Pretty excited - I like that the workouts look short at first. I AM nervous about eating as much as the book says, according to the calculations I should be eating 1,973 calories on non-workout days and 2,220 on the days I do workout. When I entered this into MFP it…

I have known all of this for a long time but I still haven't made lifting heavy a consistent part of my exercise routine. I recently became interested in kettlebells though, so hope to be doing strength training on a more regular basis. I do have a question about eating/nutrition though.. Is it possible to gain muscle…

I stopped doing it on the 3rd day of level one (things got busy, I hit my knee on a moving truck - blah blah ;)), so I've restarted as of this Sunday (the 12th). You can take me off the list or keep me on if you want!
-
Things that are awesome: - I broke a sweat - I could feel it burning - It was really short!! Over with as soon as I was starting to get bored - excellent! I took my before pictures, I'm really really hoping to see some results - mostly some muscle definition and just tighten things up. Weight: 135 Height: 5'4 Waist…

I'm in!

I think one of the biggest things with stress eating is finding alternative ways of coping! I know I'm a big stress eater - and also a procrastination eater. When I have a lot of work piling up I go through the fridge first to try and reduce my anxiety! It's great that you are still exercising - when I stop eating well…
