florida!

this is a crash diet. it's extremely similar to the ones people in the ED community do. it reminds me of my old eating plan.

it makes me less hungry for a time period. some people will say that swallowing air makes you bloat, but i think the amount of air potentially swallowed is so minimal that it won't make too much difference.

HAHA! american's are too lazy to wait for kettles to boil! all my friends ask me "why don't you use the microwave" when i put my kettle on. the tea seriously does taste better for some reason with kettle boiled water over water done in the microwave, but to the OP like everyone is saying, buy a collection of tea bags pick…

stationary bike? they have reclined ones that you can just it in rather than having to lean forward and hold handle bars.

if you're not opposed to diet soda- i do rum and diet coke. or gin and tonics (you could do vodka tonic if you like that better). but really one night won't do you in, just be really good for the next day after to make up lol just have fun!

i have the same problem, i would expect to be starving after but i'm never even a bit hungry till at least 2 hours later... which is why i can never eat back my exercise cals by the end of the night lol

exercise more, not only will it boost your metabolism, but will give you more calories to work with.

it actually is only 1 pound a week. and only goes up by 100 cals if i move it to 1/2 pound the point of my question was more if i should force feed in all the calories and/or raise the amount i'm eating in general

at the moment i've been sick so doing as much as walking the dog makes my head feel like it's about to explode. lol i get really restless so i mix it up- i workout twice a week doing one of the following - 30 mins(or more it if can) on the elliptical, plus squats, crunches, light weight lifing, lunges, ect - 45-60 mins…

i used to love running the outer stairs on my building, 5 flights of stairs noone used because they took the elevator. go one youtube and look up some workouts, i've found good abs stuff, you could do jumping jacks, push ups, lunges, squats, stuff people have said. but looking for workouts on the computer you can find some…

any clear liquor with diet soda. clear rum and diet coke is my fave. gin and tonic can't be that bad for you~look up calories in gin as tonic water has none and there you go! lol

i totally identify with you on this. it's how i used to- and often do still cope with things. next time you're feeling upset or angry or frustrated go to the gym instead you will find that working your anger out on the elliptical (or treadmill or stairmaster- what ever is your machine) will be much more rewarding than…

i've been recommended to drink 2% because that small amount of fat keeps you fuller and it has less sugar than skim. it was true for the brands i was buying when i read the jugs. so check out that option. otherwise go or almond and soy milk, i just hate the unsweetened varieties since i hate almond flavor and soy flavor lol

classes are ridiculously fun and i miss them so much. the tv ones are okay, but classes get me way more amped up. it helped me drop a few pounds, maintain and surprisingly get a bit toned :)

things like this go back and forth every year, heck every six months. is whole grain better? yes, no, yes. is corn syrup the same as sugar in regulated portions? no, yes, no. is artificial sweetener bad? yes, no, yes. and so on. in moderation it probably won't induce a pot belly on you... sooo i'd say just eat as you like.

canned tuna or salmon, eggs, peanut butter (especially on sales), canned beans (dried are cheaper but a pain to prepare). i have a low budget too, these things can be used different ways in a lot of meals though and are usually really cheap.

never played the Wii game, but classes are AWESOME.

something bizarre i've found is that if i drink a cup of water when i wake up, i'll be hungry by the time i've gotten ready for school/work. whereas when i don't i can go until 12 without eating. try that trick and maybe small bowl of cereal or jut a piece of fruit or toast like others have said.

you're doing well so keep it there until you plateau. if it ain't broke don't fix it. lol

if you don't want to see/show boobs, you don't have too.

the Rabbi's wife at the Chabad i used to go to on Shabbos would always laugh at the ratios of salad/veggies/soup i would eat to the amount of cholen and kugel and desert. at first she thought i didn't like it, but once i explained i was trying to eat healthy she laughed and promised to always have a veggie for me. also ask…

get back to us and let us know. i was recording mine but now i'm lacking a scale so i can't test it.

i got yelled at for asking the same question. apparently work isn't exercise, but your life style so adjust your lifestyle setting accordingly like hroush^ said.

i never plan on cheat days, i always feel too guilty when i cheat. i only "cheat" when i've had a really horrible day. the day before yesterday i worked 5-10pm came home had a horrible sleepless night, got up and was at school from 10am-10pm again. came home to my boyfriend eating a nice pizza and ate what i wanted rather…

that's pretty awesome! you're probably more toned/muscled now from working out... and muscle weighs more than fat thats all i can think of, but who cares? you're back in all you're awesome clothes :)

sonds good. i looked it up on other sites and seems to translate to about 60 cals in 60 mins, so i may possibly log as such, but yeah its on'y like 2 or 3 times a week so a lifestyle change isn't what i want... i never really eat back all my calories anyway, just wanted some wiggle room for days i feel i need the extra…

don't know what it is specifically, but sounds like you need to do some stretching. before and after treadmill and zumba... as well as some gentle stretching now to help ease the current pain.

i wear two sports bras at once, and anytime i attempt to take both off at once i become totally and completely stuck. i have to wiggle them both back on and start over, one at a time. lol at the time it is always more frustrating than funny, glad i'm not the only one.

tell her you're worried. i swear if anyone of my friend's had reached out to me while i was struggling with my eating i probably would have broken down and gotten help, finally feeling like someone cared about what i was doing to myself. but all i got was compliments and encouragement... approach it carefully, make sure…
