yeah, thats sounds very hard.

I find it hard to not eat after say 9pm, so 3pm would just be crazy for me.  I mean, 3 pm I am ususally still in class or have just gotten out of class.  Its' pretty much when my day's work actually starts.  To not eat at all is Gah.

100 lbs? That, is incredible. You're more than halfway there and like the other poster said, just take it one day at a time.  Or for the time being, try to maintain or so, so it dosnet seem as hard.  I'm sure you've probably recieved compliments on how much better you look, so just think about all that, and about how healthy/great you'll feel when you reach your goal.

keep at it! :) 

hey there, i used to be terrified by the thought of the gym

when i was in highschool, i was the antithesis of athletic (a bit better now) and my parents would hassle me about running and going to the gym (even though neither of them did any such activity)

but yeah, just start going to the gym.  I know the equipment looks intimdiating (i'm still not sure how some of them work) but just pace yourself .  Start doing some cardio, just spend half an hour or so walking on the trendmill or going on the elliptical and what not

and seriously though, even though you'll see Tons of gym-bunnies with their perfect abs and biceps, you'll never be the most out-of-shape person there either :)

so yeah, join in on the gym routine!!    

supposively they say "calories" instead of "kilocalories" so ppl feel better and dont' go OMG Killlo???

but yeah, i dunno, i dont think the average american consumer would know the difference .....

hey i'm 6"2 and 220

i can't remember the last time i was less than 200 pounds either. eventually i hope to drop to around 170 maybe.  For now though, I'm making it my first goal-post to breat 200 as well!

heres good luck to both of us!

Definately! I'm in college, and I tend to binge more during mid-terms and finals (yeah some of it is stress-eating) but I'm also tired and craving more! Think though, you're awake longer, and doing things when you'd usually be sleeping, your body needs those extra calories...

Also, it's far more tempting to eat takeout or fast food when you're tired and don't feel like preparing food.

the finals and midterms thing is so true

when i have labs or reports due, or am pulling all nighters, the will to not binge, like, breaks down, completely.

i log it in before or as i am eating it

it helps me process the fact that i am eating such and such amount of calories/fat/protein etc etc

and it gives me instant feedback on how i'm doing so far in the day

icecream and cookies and milk tea ..... lol

i'm like the black sheep :-x

thanks for all the help everyone :) i'll be sure to be a more careful shopper next time i'm at the "fruits n veggies" sections of the market.  sounds like it takes some trail n erroring to find the best deals and what not too.  fun fun 

like many have said, sushi is one of the places you can go when eating out without feeling guilt about it

i too am a sushi lover, and while you can go all out for the fancy rolls, you can also curb yourself and get just a good meal by choosing some alternatives

Chirasi (sashimi on rice) is pretty good , and filling too :) If you want to shy away from the rice, you can also just do Sashimi pieces.  Most japanese/sushi places will have some combo of sorts.  Oh, and since its just rice and fish, its a lot easier to estimate and log in than the sushi crab mayo rolls and what not

take a bath in hot water

hot water helps relaxe your muscles

afterwards, go sleep :) let your body try to "reset" 

interesting option

will have to try some time :) thanks for sharing

hm maybe its the sugar that came with the soda too

but if its just caffeine your worried about, you can go with tea, caffeine chewing gum, or golly, coffee! :)

hm i'm no fitness expert or anything, but when you swim your working your body more completely or using more muscles than say just walking

ofcourse, it could also be that your getting a really good work, which makes you hungry afterwards :)
