Add me for sure! I’d love more active friends!

Swimming is so good for you whole body. I also think it’s good for you mentally since you can zen out in the process. And walking is also one of the best exercises you can do for your body. I think people that knock other people’s fitness routines are just trying to bring them down to their level. Humans are naturally…

Please add me! Looking for support and motivation as well. 🙂

I weigh 255lbs and am trying to get down to 165lbs. 4 years ago I weighed 120lbs so this is rough for me! It took me 2 years of using the app to get to that point and my PCOS pushed me back up to where I am now. So I need motivation and help. We all got this! Feel free to add me as a friend. ❤️

They're building a new YMCA near my house so I'm hoping the fees will be reasonable and that I can use it for swimming. I work 7p-730a so if it opens early enough I can go after work for a half and on my off days for longer. I have Raynaud's and neuropathy so I already had the tingling in my fingers and heels of my feet.…

My doctors don't really have any answers. I take 100mg of Topamax a day for my migraines which is also supposed to suppress my appetite, but it doesn't do the second part at all. I can't take any strong pain meds, so they just have me on 800mg of ibuprofen every 6 hours for pain. I take Melatonin for sleep since I can't…

When I see my PCP next I will ask her if she'll order this for me. I know my A1C levels are normal because I've had those tested multiple times, so at least I know the diabetes part is out.

I started on Ortho Tri Cyclen (had to be switched due to 6 straight months of bleeding) and then was on Yasmin (removed me for safety reasons since it was almost recalled) and have now been on Seasonique for the past 7 years (works well mine breakthrough bleeding at times). I did the South Beach Diet when an endo doctor…

I'm so sorry. I'm terrible right now too. Stress is the worst and I wish that we could both find some other outlet for it that isn't food. It's so hard to put that energy into exercise whenever there isn't any energy there. And I hope your mom is going to be ok because I'm sure that is just scary and uncertainty makes life…

I think I make it worse on myself because I had kept all my weight off for almost 2 years so I went and bought myself an entire new wardrobe and now stuff is getting tight and I'm getting panicked because I can't afford to buy more clothes. So that just makes me feel even more powerless. I try so hard to be kind to myself,…

I don't know if they wouldn't weigh me or not. I would love to go back to a therapist, but I can't afford it. They cut our hours at work and it's $25 a session and most therapists I've seen want to see you at least once a week, so I just can't do it. I can barely afford to pay my regular bills and the stress is what makes…

I hate anything that people try to push on you. It Works! Wraps and Beach Body crap are the worst though. Who has money for all that stuff?! I get bombarded by people everyday on my Facebook trying to sell me that stuff.

I just eat everything prepackaged so I know how many calories it is. That's what I've done for the past 2 years. I have ARFID (used to be known as SED), so I have a very small repertoire of foods that I can eat. I usually eat 1565 calories a day when I'm not bingeing, but when I do binge I eat like 10,000ish.

I wonder if they'd do that. I know the one time I asked at my old doctor they just told me to turn around and not look. But, I don't want them knowing that I've gained weight because when I was there in April I only weighed 135lbs.

All I focus on during this is my weight loss which I think is making it worse. I had lost 70lbs, but I gained back 15-18lbs since April 5th so I've been in total panic mode. I went 7 whole days without binging and then ruined it yesterday. I exercise as many days a week as possible to try to counteract the eating which…

I will read this. Thank you! :)

I've considered the same, but ever since my GERD got bad I haven't been able to throw up. It's been almost a decade now. I started chewing tons of gum with sorbitol (the sugar free stuff) to induce diarrhea and that works sometimes. It's a bad road though.

Good idea! I just need to go buy some ice trays now, lol.

I loved my nana and I love my mom, but sometimes I will say that it's hard. I can't see anything but bad when I look at me and if anything on me changes for the worst then my mom will tell me. I have issues with my skin on my face that have gotten worse with the more weight I lose and she comments on that all the time. She…

That because of how thin your upper arms get sometimes your armpits will unexpectedly make a fart noise when you're overheated because of the pockets of air. Or during sex. Always a good time.

I have gained 15-18lbs since April 5th because of how much I've been binging. There are so many foods that I crave all day long...DQ Cookie Dough Blizzards, cookie sandwiches from Giant Eagle, thumbprint cookies, Hershey's Cookies'N Creme Drops and bars, Caramello bars...just so much. All I do is think about them and then…

I guess I'd have to find some ice cubes. I drink tons of Smart Water all day long so I just throw each bottle away when I'm done.

Hi everyone! Food and I have never gotten along and I was lucky enough to get my first eating disorder at 2 in the form of ARFID. I now also have issues with binge eating, especially when completely stressed out or feeling sad/upset. And I tend to be anorexic on my non-binge periods which is so fun. I've gained about…

My mom was anorexic in her late teens and early 20s and is very focused on how my sister and I look. It upsets her if we're overweight. My nana (dad's mom) was also very critical of what we looked like. She measured and weighed us monthly and wrote it down in a notebook when my sister and I were kids. my sister just eats…

Awesome!!! High five!

I do feel a ton of shame. I won't eat in front of people most of the time because my mom constantly loves to brag about how disciplined I am with my calorie counting and exercise and how beautiful I look since I lost weight. When I was larger she would always talk about how my face was fat or clothes were too tight. And as…

Girl, I feel your pain!! When I started using this I got totally obsessed and also lost 70lbs by counting calories and exercising. Now if I eat over my calories I feel like I might as well just keep going and I binge like crazy.

Always! No matter how much weight I've lost I always feel a mess when I go clothes shopping. I feel like I look fat in everything.

I hate that! When I know there is something near that I just HAVE to have I can't sleep or stop thinking about it. That's when I usually take it to work and put it on the counter so everyone else will eat it.
