Dieting to the point of the start of an eating disorder
I am writing this to get it off my chest/mind – please don’t judge. I am not looking for remarks or comments of any kind. I am hoping that if you find that you are in the same boat – maybe you can relate. I just wanted a safe place to put this because I can’t talk to anyone about it and I honestly don’t want to. I don’t…

What are "METS"?
Does anyone know what METS are? On the equipment I use at the gym, it says mets and after a workout I'm always wondering what I just burned.... I'm assuming it doesn't stand for My Expensive T Shirt :tongue:

Exercise = Junk Food?
Hi everyone, looking for suggestions on what to eat to curb the carb cravings. When I go for a run or have been at the gym, one of the first things I do is stick a spoon full of peanut butter in my mouth when I get home. Argh. Its almost like "hey, you worked out you deserve it!" but it just happens. Like I'm in a trance…

Any smokers out there?

Turns out I did way better than I thought I would!!!! I am extremely excited and proud (shocked too!) to tell ya'll that I did pretty good and jogged about 5K with very…

Having a really hard time doing this......
Hi everyone, looking for some help. A couple things. For about 2 years, I counted carbs not calories and was really successful getting to my goal weight. Then, life happened (I have one very troubled teenager) and I started eating and skipping the gym. After consulting a nutrition councellor, she mentioned that I should…

Does Strength Training Count?
Question. I work out almost everyday. To lose the weight I need, I have to exercise 90 minutes of cardio per day. Thats fine. But....is that 90 minutes of cardio only and then weight training on top of that? :huh: I just find that I can meet the calories I have to burn (about 600 I think) in less than an hour at the gym. I…

Does it count?
Does it count if you bite the chocolate and taste it on your tongue then spit it out? :laugh: I wiped the "residue" off my tongue too. :tongue: What did you try and spit out today cause you felt guilty? :devil:

The Biggest Loser (TV Show)
I don't know if I am repeating something that someone has already started but....... I love the Biggest Loser (NBC I think). Anyway, I thought it would be fun seeing as though a new episode just started to do my exercise, diet and weighins at the same time as the show. The day after the show, you weigh in a report your…
