Hey Guys! i hvaent been on the forum since thursday- and since then ive managed to catch a bacterial respaitory infection.. boo.... hows everyone doing with the 130/120 diet? I suggest we all own up and post our most current weights every week (i saw this was done bfore) Ill start im (perpetually) 134... damn the booze and the weekend...

 I was down a few lbs but then the weekend happened... i got the munchies on saturday and that was just bad LOL! i think i gained 6 lbs that day...

anyone else?!

Thats what I did- I went out to a small mexican restaurant yesterday (hung over food, and i had chicken Fajitas too!!!)  I dont know exactly how many cals I ate, but i know that I didnt go over my daily caloric intake. One thing you can do, is look at a bunch of different restaurants and then come with with an average. For instance i saw some had like 35 grams of fat, and just by tasting and eating and making an educated guess, I know mine weren't that bad for me. So ion average m guessing about 400 cals and 10-11 grams of fat...... Eh I was hungover so whatever, and I don't do it often. The chips before were what killed me... and my guacamole! and my strawberry margarita (a hair from that dog that bit you...) LOL

 Hope i helped fellow calorie counter 

jredig- i plan on zig-zagging my calories, to try and and jump start and shock my metabolism! Im also getting back to strict calorie counting and cutting out my spoon fuls of peanut butter and compulsive chi lattes. Im also gonna try and not be as lax about the gym, but its my burfday and even though i want to go my boyfriend said "dont plan on it" oh well theres always tomorrow,,,, wait thats my party.. oh well theres always saturday,,, shoot thats my recover from friday night get ready for saturday night,, well i guess theres always sunday 

ps im down a pound 133!!- 125 here i come 

hello ladies!! im super glad i found this group!!! I was 127-132 right before xmas and now im up to 134-135 and want to go back!! im not sure what screwed me up, but xmastime was the first time in MONTHS i allowed myself to eat cookies and cookie dough and man did i go to town... i think thats what did it to me, and now im just trying to get back to where i was. Im trying not to crash diet and lose it all fast, but i just want it to be goooonnnneeeeeeee.

cant wait to get some motivation from u guys!!

How do u figure out what cal amount to cycle? I want to do this too, but im at a loss for numbers... feeling confused today

OK now i want spoonfulls of peanut butter and brownie mix...

i LOVE to mix my tuna fish with ketchup and pickle relish.... love it

i put ketchup on turkkey sandwhiches and also dip my shrimp  in it

and i took one from buddy the elf... i put pancake syrup on my pasta and omg it was freakin good... now i count calories and will be sitting her thining about spoonfulls of brownie mix

i love bacon. Bacon and peanut butter are the two fats that I allow myself to eat.  I know, its not that healthy of a system, but it works!!!!!!!!!

...my two cents 

Yea my boyfriend and I are both dieting. He wants to maintain his weight but change some of his so called fat (he literally has none) and make it into muscle. We work out together and motivate eachother. Except for tonight, I already went to my bikram yoga class and he did his PT (physical training in the army) earlier this morning. we were gonna go to the gym again tonight but we just sorta said screw it . LOL... kinda of an indirect answer.

yes we both diet together!! theres more power in numbers right?? 

ok heres what IM thinking cause this happened to me: 

We trained ourselves to not eat... to not recognize when we were really hungry. In doing this we also stopepd our metabolisms because we were in starvation mode (im pretty sure u all know about this- ur body holding onto every single little thing u feed it thus making u feel overly bloated and fat when u do eat) 

ANYWAY- now that ur up to a more normal calorie intake u've basically jump started ur metabolism. Thats why ur hungry! ur body is using that food for energy and not storing it like it was in the past. when ur body doesnt know when and where its next meal will come from it holds onto that food. but now ur body is like "cool, i get FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD." so its digesting it and "OMG THATS WAS FANTASTIC... give me more...................."

thats what i went thorugh. i was crazy hungry when i first started eating all the while being like WTF!?!?

IM not a dr- so none of what i just said is based on facts. Its just me, giving you an educated guess paired with self examples.  

xbarmyx i understand every single word u just said. I dont know when my body is hungry eithor. but i do know that when i eat "normal"and dont starve (less than 1000) im more hungry the next day 

gosh- im rambling and have written so much- i HOPE THAT HELP YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER!!! I am SOOOO glad that i found you guys. 

I haven't allowed myself to eat a whole can of peanut butter, but i do love it and eat about 1 teaspoon to 3 tablespoons a day!! Heres a tip guys: 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon. so maybe if u use a teaspoon and not a tablespoon to eat the peanut butter, u'll eat less calories!!!  

I tried that better n' peanut butter stuff- lower cals and like NO fat- but it seriously doesnt taste like peanut butter. 

I want to join the Starting fresh club again too!  I hope u guys respond on here- cause it looks like u died out over a month ago!

COME BACK TO ME FELLOW PEANUT_BUTTER_AHOLICS 

Hey guys,

I'm a newbie on here too!  Ive been struggling with an ED since the 8th grade (i'm not alsmot .... bday is jan 31)

 I sunk myself really deep into a purging/binging/starving lifestyle for about 2 years. it was really bad, but im getting better. I havent purged at all in the new year, althoguh i've wanted to- i havent tried. I also somehow have gotten over my fear of fat and calories. Its really F****ing sick though, because i so desperately want to be scared of fat again, so i wont eat them anymore. over the holidays i gained back 4.5 pounds. I have vowed to myself i wont starve them off by not eating. im still really pissed at myself for gaining them back though. my boyfriend swears he cantsee them, but i know i can see them on my belly and thighs. I thinhk i see something completely different in the mirror. but i know im not TOO skinny0 the BMI says healthy- is it wrong i want to try and get back to an underweight BMI??? 

even still, some days, Im at a loss for motivation to workout. Others, i cant get enough cardio at the gym (hours and hours- literally on sunday i was at the gym for 3.5 hours and burned 1600 cals in just cardio alone. ) I'm obsessed with food and my body. Im sad at what ive done to myself. I'm proud of myself for wanting to change. But sad that a little part of me still want to binge/purge and starve. Im sad when i eat and upset when i dont. I hate food. i feel like im the only person thats haunted by peanut butter and the cookies i wont allow myself to eat.

One day at a time....F*** that... one second at a time
