^^35^^ I'll take 30! I would have to say 26?

Hmmm...50?....ish???? Lookin good!:blushing:

Hi! I'm joining the group a little late but I went through to tally what I considered my binge days vs. on track days. I have a question --do we consider days a binge day if we just feel like we got out of control, even if we didn't go all out.? For example, there are days that I do relatively well, then i get around a bag…

So inspiring! Thank you for sharing! It's good to hear that you held in there for two years and finally made it! My biggest battle is learning to be ok with slow and steady. Thanks!

Sincere:smile:

I also worked with a nutritionist and she was also ok with me eating a range btwn 1200-1300 calories and NOT eating back exercise calories. She said in her experience of working with people who,eat them back by doing moderate cardio ( not weight lifting), people don't lose weight as quickly. Doesn't sound too sketchy.

I completely understand that those around us are "affected" by us and our decisions. (Ok.....here i go in therapy role again) My guess is that he feels helpless in your process and HE thinks that him saying how much he liked you before will HOPEFULLY motivate you to get there. HOWEVER, it doesn't help. At. All. I get that.…

If your diet consists of 1300 calories then breakfast = roughly 400 calories. 800 makes your day tooo lopsided. I like the idea of drinking lots of water before your meal. But.....You might want to try mindfulness eating. Eating your food SLOWLY: one bite, put fork down, chew 20 x's, take a sip of water. Make yourself eat…

You are too busy beating yourself up to accept who you are and which is prohibiting you from MOVING FORWARD and making a…

This is awesome! It's amazing how most of the men look 10-20 years younger in the after pics! Goes to show ya how much our extra weight also ages us! Looking good!

It's always easier for people to focus on others rather than themselves. Those comments were unnecessary and rude. I'm sorry you had to endure them. I've been called "chunky", having too much "baby fat", and "big boned" all my life. All nice ways of saying FAT. I feel for you. :grumble:

Hi! I've been on MFP for just a week now! I could also use some motivation and support! I will friend you :). Thx! Mindy
