I need help (open diary)
I have been eating Paleo (with some dairy) for the past couple of months while excersising 4-5 times a week. I have dropped quite a bit of weight and started toning up. However i know i am not eating enough, i want to up my cals to 1400, and also find something other than smoothies that i can eat every day (since i workout…
-
do you see yourself as always bigger/manlier than other wome
i certainly do - and i think that is because of the height, and not feeling "feminine" or "petite" enough, especially growing up where all the boys seemed to want the girls who were short, petite, cute etc. now im finally coming into my own, but sometimes that thought is still there that leads me into a binge (like today)

tall girls! carbs question!
im finding it hard to keep carbs low, and im pretty sure with my (our) height we need them! im eating anywhere from 120g-200g of carbs a day (mostly from oats, fruit/veges,grains,bread) - how are you all going with carbs?
-
1400 calories...how many carbs?
i am never under 100, my lowest is probably 120, but i can eat around 190 at my heighest as well. will i still lose weight from this? my carbs mainly come from oats, bread, fruits&veges, and meat (sometimes soup with barley etc in it) - im worried that it is bad for me and i should be eating less?
-
sugar?
how much do you let sugar affect you? i am always above in sugar. around 60-70g a day. it mainly comes from fruit, bread, yogurt, and milk. I have the occasional cookie/chocolate every secondish day to keep those cravings at bay. How does being over affect my weight loss? i would be more worried if it was from junk but i…

im a yo yo binge eater, and im trying to take weight loss slow this time. I feel like i am eating "just enough" but would like to up my cals? in a healthy way as i think this is why im feeling cold and tired since ive started this (only 5 days ago) - my diary is public. maybe more good fats?

GREAT eating and weight loss for 3 or so weeks...then its AL
ALL ON *open diary* this is the pattern of my life for around 9 years. i eat really well for 3/4 weeks, lose enough weight to feel "healthy" and even look a little bit fit, generally reach my healthy bmi weight (the highest point) then it just turns into a big binge! i feel like i havent been depriving myself of foods this…

carb free meal ideas?
hi all..ive decided im eating too many carbs - today was 200g worth. all through wholemeal and veges, fruits, crackers, but still may explain why im feeling so sluggish and heavy. any ideas? thanks in advance :)
-
im not feeling any different at all...
im nearly at healthy bmi - 1kg off it. normally im feeling light, skinny, at the moment i still feel fat, yuck, maybe because its the first week of summer? i tend to eat healthy - around 140/150g of carbs (comes from wholemeal pita bread, oats, and f&v mainly), 60g protein, fat is at around 30g - should i reduce the carbs?…
-
why is it that after the first 10kgs/pounds
you feel bigger and fatter than you did before you started losing the weight? i feel so big and yuck at the moment - maybe because im focussing on my body a lot more? i hope it passes.
-
anyone easily overheat/sweat
or have a really hot body temperature? i feel like in the summer i dont even feel like excersising or eating healthily because i sweat soo much and just feel fat from all the mugginess - anyone else feel like this? how do i get over it?
-
any smokers here?
aside from being terribly unhealthy for you (i know all about the dangers etc its my choice at the end of the day and i will quit once some of this weight has come off-its my only vice for not binging at present) does it affect your weight loss at all?
