Sounds like a binge eating disorder. There are a lot of things you can find about it on google and youtube. You arent the only one. I deal with it by focusing on my weight loss and reducing my stress levels. also by not staying up too late at night. Zoloft is helping too!

It may be good to seek a professional, because it is a REAL illness, you arent weak or whatever

in australia, I am pretty sure you would NOT get instant citizenship, but  if you had a baby with an Australian person, your baby can have dual citizenship with the US (like my babies)

You should try the sweetener Stevia!  It is a natural sweetener and does not have as many chemicals as splenda.  I also love the low fat flavored coffee mate liquid creamers... mmmm!  I think it is like 15 calories per serving.  You can make a tasty cup of coffee for only like 20-30 calories!  Good luck!

although stevia is natural, it has a really strong, and disgusting taste when you use too much! Like the TINIEST amount is all you would need. And I STILL wouldn't use it, I would prefer the calories than the fake sugars as well. Maybe raise your activity to PAY for the few extra calories.

My logging has been 100%

my water drinking has suffered for a few days, maybe 5%

But over all I am really happy, I have lost 17kg!Including the weight of the baby ofcourse! :D

I am really happy, and for the first time in a long time, I am not feeling ill all the time, like belly aches from too much or too oily foods. I am really happy.

In order to stay on track my hubby has been supporting me, and ensuring that I drink, and he has still been preparing my meals for me while I tend to baby2. I will also try to start logging my water intake, so i dont forget how many cups i am up to, and end up a litre short and retaining water!

All in all I am really happy, and I already know in my next set of goals, I will keep the water as maintenance, and add some exercise goals since I will then be able to go to the gym again!

This is exciting, I was looking forward to getting this one! :D

Wii fit is fun, but I have really been anticipating the challenge of the wii active!

Umm this threaad is a little off topic...

Becoming a vegan is a great experience, it is a very healthy way tolive. I would say slow and steady wins the race, I gave up dairy for the same reason (lactose intolerance) but put that out of your diet first. Dont worry about the full gamut initially especially if you think the dairy will be difficult for you.

Take small steps, and you will get there. Eat plenty of variety, and don't overdo it with the vegan alternative products (gets to be an expensive habit)

With a little bit of imagination, you will find a whole new world of flavours to explore!

I also recommend www.vegan-food.net and www.vegweb.com

Good luck!

You did awesomely well! I wish I could jog that long!

Don't worry about what he said, guys can be weird at times, my hubby says some things sometimes, not to the exent of being negative, but kind of insensitive. But when I tell him how it makes me feel, then he understands and apologizes, maybe try to tell him how it makes you feel.

I would have to say frozen would be much better than canned veggies, as canned things always seem to have so much salt. And it is true that frozen retains the higher amount of nutrition because they are flash frozen.

In an ideal world I would say have organic, fresh off the farm. From the dirt, right to your mouth :D

I have to get someone to report on, but i will soon. as far as the goals I have been eating well and writing it all down, and i had a few bad water days, but I have fixed that up too, I actually feel hydrated again, now i just need to sleep.

soooo sooo late. But for anyone who finds this post, as long as you love yourself, it doesnt matter if you dont particularly like the way you look, bc you arent trying to date yourself!

Last Friday my GoWear Fit was delivered, basically the same as the BB. I have been wearing it and doing my normal trips to the gym and calorie counting. I will be very interested to see if you have the same reaction but I am amazed at how many calories it says I am burning!

So, my GoWear Fit says I'm burnt 2648 on Saturday and 2880 on Sunday. Even if I take into account the 10% that their website says it could be off that's 2383 and 2592. I didn't realize it would be that high. Now I wonder if I'm really eating enough and maybe that's why my weight is not coming off.

I'm female, 37 yrs old, 5'3", 40% body fat and did no exercise at all until the middle of September when I joined the gym. I now strength train 3x per week and do cardio 3x per week. I'm supposed to eat 1300 calories per day but now I think that's too low and I'm going to up it a bit.

I think your calories are too low!

As far as the body bugg, i am going to get a fit bit next month, and i am really excited about it too.  I think you should write the numbers downs for the week and measure up against the cals you eat to see how accurate it is! I love doing the math to see how accurate the cals in vs out thing really is for me!

i know this was not meant to be a funny post, but i cracked up at most of these, its hilarious, I would definitely tell them though, you dont want them to gain 50lbs eating magic chips, or miss out on eating melons bc of the fat hahaha

at my smallest I was a size 8 on top and a size 10 on the bottom, I think if  lost and lost and lost (not my goal, ever) I could have gotten to a size 6 TOPS, or should I say bottoms. I dont think my skeleton could fit anything smaller than that (I am 5'11) but then again, with enough craziness, anything is possible

:/

RSPEFLEY congrats on the baby! Morning sickness was so hard for me, more power to you!

i dont hink it is a bad thing to eat on a time schedule. as long as youre not eating on an emotion schedule. its when you let your stomach grumle that ppl tend to make bad food decisions. staying on top of the hunger is good, means your body wont think its starving between meals.

your schedule is good as long as you arent constantly "full", like really full and bloated, in which case you shave down the servings.
