Eat right to release weight... How?

Eating Exercise Calories
i know exercise calories are there for you to eat but when I have a day like today where I eat them all I'll be honest, I feel like an as*hole :( I know it's ridiculous to feel bad about it. Any encouragement?

Binge Eating & Compulsive Overeating
Have you suffered from it? Have you mastered it? What did you do? I've had BED/CO for most of my life. I'm not a purger as that one episode with laxatives taught me (TMI?). Just when I think I'm getting it under control I slip and when I slip, it's for days not just one session. It's like some part of my brain says, "Well,…

Cardio Machine Calories... What a crock!
the other day I did cardio on the arc trainer; the machine said I burned 600 calories, HRM said 300. Same thing with jogging on the treadmill; machine said I burned close to 600 calories. Nope. HRM showed right at 300. Don't ever go by what the machine tells u as far as calorie burn! No wonder I lost weight slower in the…

CONFESS
any dirty little food secrets that you'd like to get off your chest? I stand in the kitchen when no one is watching and eat out of the pot/pan with a fork after I had my "sensible portion" in view of anyone else. If my man walked in on me he'd swear I was saving up for winter. But I'm a Jedi master at the stealthy…

Kettlebell Conundrum
hi guys I just got my 1st set of 3 kettlebells and thought I was getting a set with more weight on it but as it turns out I got a 5 lb, 7.5 lb, and 10 lb. kettlebell.

Outgrowing kettlebells...What to do???
what do u do with KB's once you've "outgrown" them? Get rid of them or incorporate them in other ways? Just bought my 1st set and can tell that 5 pounder isn't going to keep me at it for long (got a 5, 7.5, and 10 lb in the set). I have history lifting weights so im not brand new to that although ive never used KBs. A lot…

A great tip
I am a night-time binge eater and yesterday asked on MFP how fellow pm bingers handle their snack attacks. Someone said that they like to exercise as late in the pm as they can and it helps them not want to instantly blow all the good they just did. Im a diehard AM exerciser by tradition; always said if I don't do it first…
