Getting Back into Running
I'm signing up for a 10k in May. I know if I sign up, I'll do it. Whether or not I want to, I know I'll do it. I'm pretty lazy right now. I've creeped back up to 220lbs (I'm 5'9), and my desk job and eating habits aren't helping. I'm back at the gym - that's a good first step. Should I get right back into running on the…

Fitbit Goals
Hi all, I just got a FitBit HR, and I'm wondering a few things about how other people use theirs: What step goal do you aim for? How many flights of stairs do you aim for? (This should be call incline or something, because I haven't done a single flight of steps today, but FitBit thinks I've done 11)1. Do you use the…

Please lend some advice
I'm almost always the person giving advice and lending a positive attitude (well, at least I like to think so). But today it's me who *kitten* up. I'm used to concurring my binge eating, or struggling to overcome it anyway - sometimes successfully, sometimes not. Today, I didn't succeed. And it went a step further,…

How many days since your last binge?
How long has it been since your last binge? One day? Three weeks? A year? My last binge 4 days ago. That may not seem like a long time, but I haven't even considered binge-eating during those 4 days, which is a drastic improvement over the past few... years! I'm going to update on this post regularly, and I hope others…

I'm not new, but I'm back again.
Hi everyone. It's taken me a long time to realize I'm in the wrong mental state to succeed in getting healthy (again) alone. The past few years have been rough emotionally. No complaints; I enjoy every moment of life, but I compensate for my emotions with food. With things starting to level off, I know it's time to get…

I'm not new, but I'm here again
hey everyone. I keep having food breakdowns, so it's definitely time to get my *kitten* in hear. Anyone want to share some stories of how they stopped hitting the snack cupboard at work, willed themselves not to buy chocolate, or overcame giant portions that seem like a normal size now? Ugh: the struggle is real!

Reasons not to binge:
Sometimes, while struggling between ourselves and a pile of [binge food], it's helpful to look to the reasons not to binge. How do binges affect you? What have you noticed that changes when you've been bad for a day, week, or longer? Please post one per comment or separate each reason with a few "enters". This makes…

Reasons not to eat junk:
Please post a reason not to eat junk food (one or two per comment). A reason? Trans fats are all over our junk/fast food.

Where did you lose weight first?
I've noticed during the past couple of weeks that my breasts have dropped a size, and my bellybutton is down two inches. AWESOME! It's so interesting where the fat gets taken from first (or where it gets put on last). So tell me, where did your fat go down first? What was the first place you noticed getting smaller?

Vegetarian Travel Lunches?
Do you have a good idea for a vegetarian lunch? I'm struggling to find ones that don't involve bread (nothing wrong with bread, but I eat it too much; trying to moderate). I also like to feel as though I'm eating a lot of food. Just not a lot of calories ;) Thanks!

Scared to Weigh In
Is anyone else scared to weigh in? Why? It's been an excellent week for me, so I'm scared to look at the scale in case it didn't move. I'm skipping this week's weigh-in because I like the way I feel and I don't want to be put off by the numbers. I'm certainly looking forward to measurements in two weeks, though!

Do you binge?
After a week of being binge-free (my version of it, anyway), I caved. I bought some Ben and Jerry's and ate the entire container after a pizza dinner. Naturally, I now have a sugar headache and feel like crap. One day at a time, eh? What's your story? How do you struggle with binge eating and what steps have you taken to…

Binge Eating
Has anyone else had an issue with binge eating lately? I'd like to hear your story. Are you struggling? What have you eaten on a recent binge and how did you feel afterward? Have you overcome it? How?
