what is a sustainable diet for me?
I've been dieting with MFP for five weeks and i am finding it too hard. I lost 8.8 pounds in four weeks. I had my goal set at one pound a week eating 1200 - 1500 [more like the lower limit most days] but during the fifth week i gained and panicked and set it to 1200. I found that was just too punishing and quit. But i…

be cautious about fiber
Just a quick note to remind everyone to be cautious about adding fiber to your diet. I wasn't and ate 33 grams on Wednesday and wound up in the ER with vomiting and diarrhea. Yuck!

what are your victories in resisting binging?
I thought it would be nice to hear of times when we have been victorious over urges to binge. This Wednesday evening i was 90% of the way there to binging on a big batch of homemade popcorn which i drench in real butter. I even went to the cupboard to check on how many kernels i had left. But i managed to resist and the…

One More Time
Hi, I'm Jane, new to MyFitnessPal but a veteran dieter. Last year alone, i went on four diets. I've balloned up to 230 pound and i am only 5'3". I guess all i can do is try again. I've been dieting for seven days. I only weigh myself once a week, so i haven't had any feedback yet. I weigh in tomorrow morning [fingers…
