I've looked at some of your earlier posts about throwing up. Here is something you said 'Hey guys... I'm getting over an eating disorder and have gotten significantly better. However, today, I was given two mini bran muffins from La Madeleine... each apparently having 140 calories! I ate them both and then vomited. :( I'm…

What about doing a bake sale for charity? I asked a charity and did one at work. You can do them other places too, like regattas or galas. Have a look. I love baking too, so i know how you feel Good luck

Interesting. I needed to hear this today, I know it's true but sometimes I'm less patient than I should be. Thanks for the reminder!

Hello Ladies! Am i glad to find you!!! I did 1A on Tuesday and loved it. I thought this isn't too bad at all. Well not I ache a lot lol, better take it a bit easier tomorrow. I wish you were all in my gym, I haven't seen another woman doing weights. I have only been once though so fingers crossed I can find a friend…

I think this needs serious consideration on your part. It's not the easy way out. The only real issue on the table for me is the fact that it is major surgery that has a mortality rate. You could die during the surgery or due to complications later on. Is it worth the risk for a quick fix? Think about it. Good luck with…

I'm 5'8" and wIth a leam body mass of 120 lbs, I will be happy with 160 and some more muscle :-)

I think you might want to try eating more. I was advised to if you have less than 10 lbs to loose go for 0.5lbs a week. It sounded really scary, but it worked I lost 1lb in a week. I had been a deficit of at least 500 calories a day for 10 months and my body responded very well to the extra food. Try it for a few weeks, if…

Hey Ladies I do try keep up but this thread moves fast!! I had a pretty bad weekend eating wise. I saw all my grandparents who think I am wasting away now and one literally wouldn't let me leave before eating a second piece of cake after lunch lol! Oh well, back on it now, I did pretty well yesterday. So in answer to the…

I love this thread!! I would love to joint and be friends with you all. I usually eat about 2000 kcals with exercise. You are all so inspirational and talk sense. I do have a question for you all. I sail at the weekends with my crew. We are usually racing for about 3-4 hours and we also have to prep the boat and then put…

I am so sorry this happened to you. My advice ... take it one day at a time. Do what you can and make sure you are not too hard on yourself. Good luck!

Umm ...well maybe, but as far as I'm aware breathing is essential for life ... aspartame isn't!

All I can think is, you said it yourself you are consistenly under your calorie goal. Do you eat your exercise calories back? I know it is very frustrating. I didn't loose anything for 3 months, then i started weighting what i ate, doing strength training and the weight started to come off. You can do!!

Use the search function and you will find lots of posts on this!! Good luck

Wow that dress is amazing!! My new inspiration, thanks :-)

The formular is, MFP sets you a calorie limit with a deficit of 400-600 calories approx depending on how much you are loosing a week. If you exercise you have a larger deficit. Too big a deficit is unhealthy and does not necessarily result in weight loss. Some people eat excercise calories and some do not. MFP was designed…

I started the shred yesterday and today is my day off lol! I also cycle to work and back, 12 miles total usually 5 days a week and i try run 3 days too. I will be doing the shred but I will have at least 2 days off a week i think! I've done levels one and two already. If it is your only exercise then it is ok to do…

I have a similar problem with my sugar intake. I have started only counting refined sugar, so not from fruit. Partly because I believe in the evidence supporting fructose and glucose being processed differently in the today and partly because I not give up fruit. It works for me. Good luck

You will get different opinions on this. According to MFP you should eat your exercise calories. A deficit has already been built into the calorie allowance asigned my MFP. The science and maths is solid that you shouldn't have a deficit of more than 1000 calories in general. Regardless of what eating too little will do to…

I would love to know too! I have the 30DS which I really like!

Well personally the sin makes it all the more juicy! Ignore this person, they sound like a troll To the op - You can get mulivitamins with iron in. They might help, but do get checked out too!! Best of luck

28 lbs is a lot well done! No one can see how much you weigh, only what size you are. Try concentrate on measurements not the scale, but you should be very proud of how far you ahve come!

I was loosing weight slowly too. It started to increase after about 3 months, I also started weighing everything I ate. My portion sizes had been bigger than i thought and chocolate weighed more than I though lol. I was only cheating myself. I hope you find something that works for you, good luck!

It depends on if you saw this one and any others as only temporary. People deal with emotions in different ways. Personally I think when you loose someone, if your blood dosen't run cold and you feel like you are going to be sick, you never loved them. I guess your approach is tough love. However it will consume as much of…

Well done. I was that girl at school too and now I run 5k's!! Feels good doesn't it! Add me if you want and we can encourage each other to go to 10k!!

Do you have rest days? Whenever I feel cramp like this I take a day or two off and let my muscles recover and grow. Good luck finding an answer I would be keen to hear it myself!

bump :laugh:

I would just make sure you have some calories for a good high energy snack after the donation and maybe don't go crazy tomorrow either. Your body need time to adjust. Good on you for doing it though!! :smile:

I cycle about 80-90 minuted most week days. I burn about 500-600 calories depending on what I am carrying on my bike. I tend to eat nuts and carb filled lunch like pasta. I think of it more as a calories consumed per week, so on the days I don't cycle I go over if i have been under on the days I do, as long as it balances…

Same for me! Drinking water stops my headaches and makes me feel good. I used to confuse hunger with thirst too.

How tall are you? You look quite tall in your photos. I would imagine that you should be eating more than 1600 without exercise as your BMR will be large. You can google it and see how much it is. I'm not saying you should be eating more to not go into starvation mode, everyone has there opinion on that, but you must be…
