The building that I work in has a devoted floor for "walkers" and I've managed to get in a mile on my lunch (before I gave up.) However pushing myself to just move more in general, hopefully I can reduce that to two miles in my half hour! I'm still too embarrassed to bring myself outside for walks. :(

I have such a hard time sticking with a routine these days. I'd either forget to eat (it happens) within the time I'm supposed to eat, or I'd not feel well from the fast and not be able to focus on anything except eating. Down the road however, I may try it out here and there. For now I'm just happy to have made it one…

Did you get discouraged? Have you been tracking all week? How about a NSV, no matter how big or small?

I'm staying accountable. That's a start. And getting back on MFP and coming to the discussions is helping. We are gonna do this! Look at that number every day of how many days in a row you have signed in. I remember that I made it like 333 days once, and then just stopped. POOF all of my hard work gone. I have to look at…

Any time of movement is better than moving the laundry off the couch to sit on it. Oh, that's just me?? Don't be yourself for movement, ever. :) About the weighing in part, I'm an everyday-first-thing-in-the-morning-before-my-shower weigh-er. It helps keep me accountable through the day, and isn't as bad of a let down as…

moved this post to where it belongs!

Yesterday was the beginning of the retrograde and it's a new moon. I know that it disrupts my sleeping patterns at times (the moon.) Have you tried something like tea, or melatonin to help you sleep through the night better?

I did do the mile yesterday. The day before I walked over to grab a salad on my lunch break so that took up my half hour. But yesterday I was determined to push it. And by slowing my pace, it was less painful. I used to look strangely at my phone when a friend of mine would say that it hurt her to go for a walk. Now I…

I did go over my caloric intake yesterday, but by less than a 100 calories so I call that a win. I managed to stay focused, and walked on my lunch for a mile. It took me 21 minutes, but since I couldn't even walk .6 miles the other day without being winded, I'm also calling this a win. Baby steps. While the weight came on…

@Melitaty what cauliflower meal? I saw a recipe somewhere where it's mixed in with potatoes and I am going to see what the nutritional info is for it.

I did not get on my treadmill last night. I was overwhelmed and had some issues come up and my "plan" went by the wayside. This happens far too often. And although I didn't over eat, I over drank. I tend to turn to alcohol when I get stressed. And I ended up consuming another 2200+ in calories from Tippy Cow. Then this…

I tend to fall off the wagon as soon as I get home. I'm here too so there are definitely three of us. I have a vacation in August, but I'm more for trying to get back to moving. The weight for me should come off on it's own if I can only get off of my couch and stop eating all of the things! We've got this! More water,…

Count this fatty in! I'm at my heaviest and most miserable. I saw some pictures of myself from this past weekend and I got asked to leave a ride at Six Flags. I'm ready. I want to eat it all. I want to sleep. I want to sit. I want to just close my eyes and make it stop. :(

I need to lose 105. I'm having the hardest time just getting started and staying on track. I''m ready to try anything. Like hiring someone to follow me around. lol

I struggle daily with binge eating. Sugar is addictive and it's hold on me is similar to alcohol or drugs for others. I've fought with it my entire life. I've actually just eaten spoonfuls of sugar at times, and this started when I was young. I too am an all or nothing person but this year I've come to learn how to…

People really have no concept of what Binge Eating Disorder is. It's not just an occasional extra helping. It's not just occasionally eating an entire bag of oreos. It's a life of thoughts consumed with food. What can I eat next. Where can I get it. Do I have the money for junk. I'll stop tomorrow. Today I eat everything.…

30 today. But not every day is the same.

Well, I needed to find this post today. I've tried everything. It started for me about 20 years ago when I would first purge with laxatives and then just not eat. Then I was better, or at least in remission. Now for the past 5 years or so, I have struggled with bed and I can't take it. I'm not suicidal but I'm so…

Hi. I'm Margaret. I'm a sugar addict. And yes, I used to eat plain sugar, but not by the bagful. Now I only eat candy by the bagful. I feel like I'm two people when it happens. And the weaker person wins every time. I can't stay strong. I've tried Vyvanse to help but all that does is make me not want to eat so it's a…

45. :( I go up 2, down 1, up 1, down 2. It's irritating. I just want to be under 200 first. Then to sculpt!

Yup. I scored a 36 out of 46. Severe Binge Eating Disorder. Hi. I'm Margaret and I live to binge. :(

Actually, sometimes I have binged on fruits and veggies, like broccolli or carrots with just a serving size of ranch dressing or perhaps blueberries. I used to be in a place (mentally) where I could just say no. I seem to have lost the map back. Part of it is why I always tell myself, start fresh tomorrow. Or just don't…

I agree. As intimidating as the gym can be, people there are not paying as much attention to you as you think. You all have the same goal and everyone has to start somewhere. :)

Not haters, just realistic.

I don't make enough money to shop there. :(

I have a 5 year old who just started Kinder and a 1 year old who doesn't sleep through the night. I end up having to run at 9:00 at night and I've been totally slacking on my strength training. You can do this. We have to make times for ourselves!! Do it! :)

I wasn't good. I had mac & cheese. But I'm running tonight, I need the carbs. I also need to food prep desperately.

She seems fun! And runs color runs. Would have to talk her into mud runs :)
