Seeking professional help
Well, my therapist recommended that I go back to the eating disorder institute in Fargo for some help with the binge eating. So, that's what I'm going to do, whether my husband agrees with me or not. I scheduled an appointment for April 4, as that's the soonest they could schedule me. But, yeah, it's pretty bad. I'm…

Getting emotional while eating?
Hey all. I don't know if this is an issue unique to me or what, but lately, I've started becoming emotional because of eating. I don't start eating because I'm emotional, in fact, I'd rather not eat in that state right now. But, it's just started over these past few days, that I start to cry because I am eating. It doesn't…

New approach
Alright, so, I've been trying to lose weight for up to a year now, and it has not happened. I've actually gained over the past year. So...I'm going to try something that I haven't done yet as an accountability exercise. I'm going to post pictures, weight, and measurements on here, and update in a month (Weight will be…

basal metabolic rate?
I just checked out what my basal metabolic rate is or should be and it's at 1600 calories, roughly. My calorie recommendation before exercise is 1530 calories, according to MFP. Should I bump up my calories slightly so I'm over my BMR, or just stick with my recommendation?

Depression and dieting
Hey all, I'm just writing this because right now, and at many times in my life, I am suffering and have suffered from severe depression. In part, I'm depressed because I'm having difficulty with losing the weight I want to, but there are also many circumstances in my life that I am discontent with. The main part of it…

Starting up again
Well, I just got done with a wedding...my wedding, to be precise! And I was hoping to lose some weight for it, but that never happened. Things got way too busy, and I just could not keep up with anything! But, now, I'm going to start again. And not for any special event or happening...just for me, my new husband, and my…

Turbo Jam or Turbo Fire - Which should I go with?
Hey all. I'm looking into purchasing a new program, because I want something that's a little less intense than the P90X that I have to start off with, and I want to lose a good amount of weight before my wedding in July. I've looked at both Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire, but haven't been able to decide which one would be better…

Starting TurboJam/C25K on 5/9/11! Any takers?
Hey there! I just bought TurboJam, and I was hoping I could get some others in on it! I'm going to be doing Couch 2 5K along with it, just to bump it up a notch, but don't feel obligated to do both. One or the other will be just fine...if you want to do both programs along with me, that would be great! Again though, it's…

I hate finals week
Why? Because I eat nothing but junk during it! I've eaten so much nasty food over the past few days. Luckily, I'm almost done with finals! So, how do I get back on track?

Best workouts for weight loss?
Hey all. I am just wondering what the best workouts for weight loss would be. What has worked best for you and what do you recommend? I was doing P90X for a while and didn't see much scale movement with that...actually, my weight loss increased after I quit. So, any other workouts that work better for bringing down the…

NSV! Very small, but I think it's important for me!
So, I''m talking to a friend of mine about weight loss and wedding stuff. And I explained how I've been freaking out over my weight and such, because everyone wants to look good for their pictures, you know? Well, he said one of the best things ever. He said that my weight is not that big of a deal. The important thing is…

The Instinct Diet?
Hey there all. I was just wondering, has anybody heard of or tried The Instinct Diet? I found a copy of the book at my local grocery store, and it was a good deal, so I decided to get it. I've been reading it and it makes a lot of sense. I'm just wondering if it would be better to go with this as a diet plan, or go for the…

Ugh....traveling...
Okay, so, I'm really beginning to hate traveling. Why? Because each week, I drive between 8 and 9 hours back and forth from college, and it seems like just about every time I hit the road, I also hit the snacks. Hard! And not the good ones either....I talking chips, cookies, etc. Why do I do this? Because otherwise, I have…

Struggling with a healthy diet
Hey there...I've been using this site for a while, and during my time using it, I've yet to see any progress. My weight has been stuck between 160 and 165 (for the most part) since November/December, and I'm wondering what I can do about it. I wasn't very consistent with using the site between November and January, but in…

BodyBugg/BodyMedia - Is it worth it?
Hey all...I'm looking into finding a method for tracking my calories more accurately, and I was thinking about just getting a HRM with a chest strap....but then I saw a couple people talking about the BodyMedia/BodyBugg....and I went investigating. Now, the BodyMedia sounds wicked awesome, but it cost way more than a HRM…
