Thanks, everyone for your replies! Today was good overall and tonight was a success! I didn't binge and I stuck to my plan of doing my nails. (Manicured fingers and toes always make me feel so put-together!) Feels good to have another day in the "win" column. :)

cool!

check out skinnytaste.com if you haven't already! tons of excellent low-cal recipes there!

I was working out really hard for a while. (like, too hard) and I missed my period. My BF% is closer to 25, so I didn't understand why I missed my period. But so many things can cause you to miss your period and extreme exercising is what did it for me. After multiple pregnancy tests and 2 months with no period, I called…

excellent read

my scale said I am at 28% BF... then I had a trainer use a caliper to determine my BF and she said that I am at 25% BF. So in my experience the scale isn't so accurate...

Thank you everyone! You all provided such excellent feedback and it really made me feel better about everything. Just to be clear- I RARELY eat 1200 calories as I always eat back my exercise calories- I eat closer to 1800 every day. (I do try to net 1200 though) But I took your suggestions and I've changed my goal to 1360,…

wow thank you! lots of helpful information! :)

Yeah perhaps I'll try to find a nutritionist- that sounds like it would be a better use of time than seeing a psychologist. good call!

Thanks guys for the responses! To those of you suggesting to eat more calories- are you talking about base-line calories and then eating back exercise calories? Or just up my calories and then not eat back the exercise calories?

wow- I just realized how long this post is! I hope someone actually takes the time to read it!

I used to think that if I weighed 125 I would be happy and magically have no more problems with body image and stuff. WRONG! I hover between 120 and 125 now and I still have all of the same issues I had when I weighed 130-135! So when I finally make it to my goal of 110-115, I'll probably still battle those same demons.…

light string cheese: 60 calories, 3 grams fat, 8 grams protein! a pretty good high protein snack if you ask me!

Wow that is ridiculous... I've never had anything like that happen to me! My diary is open to the public and I've posted some pretty bad binges! Everyone has been incredibly supportive. I don't have that much weight to lose either- and besides, there are people on here who are trying to gain or maintain too... anyway,…

love this post. (and I'm not one of those people who goes around saying "omg best post ever!") thanks for the smile this morning! :)

great job! you look fantastic! so glad you found something that worked for you. good luck with maintenance- I know you can do it!

5'0'' over here and happy with my 20" thighs. And I can run like a BEAST! :)

one act of will power will lead to another and then another. way to resist! go home and eat a healthy dinner tonight! today is going to be a WIN!

I've only seen one vote for Radiohead so far.... Radiohead is by far my fav! :)

5 feet over here- feel free to add me! :)

my favorite response :) I love dipping animal crackers in peanut butter.

I eat 1/4 of an avocado just about every day. (I put it on my sandwich) For whoever wanted to know about how to buy them/cut them: I buy a ripe avocado from the grocery store (looks brownish on the outside, has a slight give to it when you gently squeeze it) I wash it and then I slice it in half. I pull it apart and one…

Ooohh I'm proud of myself for this one so I'll contribute to this topic too! :) I ran 8 miles the other day and I hauled *kitten* on the last mile- I ran it in 6:53! (the other miles were at about an 8min pace) It made me wonder how fast I could run a mile if it wasn't the last of 8! I've been thinking about trying to see…

If I were in that situation I would totally leave the show too. They worked so hard to get to where they are and it is unfair to have someone else come in and take what is rightfully theirs. HA. Just kidding- I think those people are douches and it really pissed me off as I watched the show. Just trying to see if I could…

I'm in love with skinnytaste.com Gina walks you through all of her delicious and nutritious recipes with beautiful pictures and helpful suggestions. She has all of the nutrition information listed for her recipes as well. Last week I made "skinny meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting" for the first time. It was SO…

Pre-logging my food for the day really helps me. Take today for example- I logged that I will eat some animal crackers, peanut butter and chocolate chips after dinner. Knowing that I have that to look forward to helps me resist eating chocolate during the day. And having the portions planned out helps me not overeat at…

5 feet tall, 121.5 pounds. My goal is 110-115. :)

I'm 5'0'', 121lbs- and when I really push myself hard on level 3 I only burn about 160 calories for the 27 minutes, according to my HRM. (I am dripping with sweat!) I have a Garmin HRM with a chest strap - I love my hrm!

yep! I don't mind though- I feel like my smaller boobs match my smaller frame better :)

When you log your foods you can do a search for "pregnancy" and there are a few options called "eating for pregnancy". This will give you some more calories each day. Just an option if you care to use it! :) I worked out through my pregnancies and found that it was much easier to take the weight off after having the baby…
