Logged a real binge.
I have issues with bingeing. I eat around 2000 calories a day, so it's not because I'm chronically hungry. I just have some weird psychological demon that possesses me and I consume food until I'm in pain sometimes. I'm working on it. Thursday I consumed a whopping 5300 calories. I logged it. The good, bad, and ugly. It…

My body fat percentage
Based on my picture, can anyone make an educated guess at what my BF% looks like. I've been tested at the gym, done calipers and the scale but I have gotten wildly different answers. I am 5'4 and weigh 118. Thanks!

looking to join the 2000+ calorie women's support group
I saw on here a while ago that there was a support group for women who eat over 2000 calories a day. If it is an open group, can someone post the link and let me join? Most of my friends on here seem to net like 800 or less calories a day and although their methods are their methods and that's fine, I'd like to have some…

Insanity calories too low???
I'm thinking (maybe) that my HRM sucks. I did Insanity Plyo cardio yesterday, full-out, 100% and barely burned 200 calories. Am I just getting fit? Does that seem low or fairly accurate? I'm 5'4 and around 118-120 pounds. I feel like it gives me the same readings no matter what I do, that's why it feels faulty. I can do…

TLC's "My 600 pound life"- Ashley's Story
I watched this last night and wanted to b!tch slap her mother! Has anyone else watched this episode?

Those of you doing insanity...
Which workout is the hardest? Just out of curiousity. I just finished doing (almost) a whole round of p90x (got to day 80 and had to return it to the person I borrowed it from). I have done Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and ripped in 30 and breezed through those. P90X was difficult but definitely not too much... I always…

probably a dumb question...
How can I get my body fat accurately tested? I don't have a gym membership or health insurance. I've heard those scales that give body fat percentage readings are notoriously inaccurate. Can I go to a a gym or something and pay for a session with a trainer and have them do it? Do I go see a dietician? Anyone know of any…

"0 calorie foods"
It has come to my attention that the FDA allows anything with less than 5 calories per serving to be labeled as calorie free, or zero calories. Not a big deal for most things. For example, walden farms zero calorie dressings have actually 3-4 calories a serving, although it says "0" on the nutrition label. So in fact, the…

What I do when I'm bored...
I made a pic collage of my stomach pictures that I found on my phone, using a silly photo effects app, but I have to say that I like the progression! I had a C section 8 months ago and my stomach is finally looking better! I do have stretch marks and some loose skin but they're getting less visable. I was 200 lbs when I…

Just joined
I just found this group and joined, I hope that's ok! I am day 53 of p90x lean. I throw some Jillian Michaels in the mix too, but I've pretty much stuck to the program as outlined.

Terrified of maintainence
I've been chugging along at my weight loss journey for 8 months now and have lost 40 or so pounds. I'm closing in on goal, and it just hit me... I'm terrified. I am so scared that once I finally hit my goal, my mindset will change, and I'll become complacent. I've been doing p90x and am a little over half way done. My…

GNC Wheybolic extreme 60
Anyone else use this? If so... Reviews? I went there to check out the optimum nutrition brand but the guy was trying to sell me on this stuff. Guess I should add. I drink a protein shake after doing my p90x workout for the day. I'm doing p90x And supplement with Jillian michaels ripped in 30 about 4 times a week on top of…

I really can't grasp this...
Ok, I get the science behind it and I've read articles like the popular one titled "obesity at 700 calories"... But when I continuously see people on the forums saying how hard it is to eat 1200 calories a day and that they just can't possibly eat that much, I have to say it never fails to baffle my mind. I could easily…

Getting close to goal.. Pics
I'm on my phone trying to do this, so I have no clue if it will work. Excuse my gross no-make up/post workout self. I gained 80+ lbs while pregnant so I have quite a few stretch marks. The first one was in July.. 2 months postpartum and 160ish pounds and the second one is last weekend (7.5 months postpartum and 128ish…

Trying something new...
So, I'm thinking about trying the HCG diet... what do you guys think?? HA, just kidding! Seriously though, I"m thinking about lowering my carb intake.. Not low carb- per se, but just cutting back. How do you carb counters count things with "net carbs".. for instance, I like to eat la tortilla factory low carb wraps. Do you…

another 30 day shred question
Instead of just doing each level for 10 days for a total of 30 days, I do each level until I pretty much master the non-modified moves, then move onto the next level. Does anyone else do it like this? I just don't like the idea of doing a half-*kitten* job on a lower level then moving onto a higher one.

Am I destined to never be a runner?
So, I have a question. Lets take a look into the past when I was in very good shape, excellent actually. When I was in high school, I was on a competitive cheerleading team that was the best in the nation. It was tough, believe it or not... we trained like crazy. I also did other sports and always excelled at most things…

Sensa
I keep getting this stupid sensa ad next to my food diary. I can't help but think what a crock this stuff must be. If anyone actually wastes their money on this product.... I bet you can try sprinkling some dog *kitten* on your food and that will get you to stop eating it too! for free :)

pet peeves!
Ok, so this is not intended to offend anyone or anything, but do you ever look at certain posts and just cringe? I'm sure everyone's are different and I'm sure there are things that I do that strike that little nerve in people. Just for fun... what are some of your discussion board pet peeves? Please don't say posts about…

people in recovery
I was just wondering if there are any support groups on here for people that are in drug or alcohol recovery. Just looking for similar people who have been to hell and back and are now living sobriety one day at a time.

20 lbs down so far.. pics
I think I can finally tell that my stomach is getting smaller. It's a slow loss with lots of old fashion hard work (no quick fixes or fad diets here) but I think my hard work is FINALLY starting to show a little. Excuse the stretch marks... I just had a baby a few month ago.

Looking for friends
I am 25 and recently had a baby.... I gained 80 lbs in a year, yikes.. I know! I am trying to lose this weight and get in better shape. I've lost 24 lbs since starting MFP in July. Does anyone want to be my friend? ;)
