Who cares? It's delicious! Everything in moderation :)

Ok, I will :) But I can do it at home right? Because I can't join a gym. I can search up some exercises on google and just try them? Exercises for arms/stomach/legs, butt, etc...

You can exercise / train any part of your body at home.

What I like to do in between ad breaks on tv, or before I go grab a snack, is a little set of execises that really work your muscles and take hardly any time.

Start with a minute in the plank position. Take 20 seconds break.

A minute of jumping jacks.

Straight into a minute of burpees. Another 20 second break (burpees are owie)

And then a minute of mountain climbers.

They provide a great strength / cardio combo. If you're doing them right your whole body should kill while doing them, and ache for a day or two afterwards until you get used to them. Oh, and they might give you a mild case of exercise tourettes too...

Check out the couch to 5k/10k programs. They use interval training to build up endurance. I used them a while ago three times every week and managed to build up to running for an hour non-stop. Once you've completed it then you can do it all over again swapping the walking for jogging and the jogging for sprinting to slowly build up speed. And it's freeeeee :D

Couldn't recommend it enough!

Cool running's C25K program

Hiya,

Just checking in and looking for a bit of support. Like you all, I was never really overweight until university, decided to go on a diet, and a few months down the line I was underweight, exercising every other day, and surviving on 800 calories. Oops!

Then came the bulimia, which I'm still trying to get over. For the last few years I've been living through cycles where I watch everything I eat, end up eating now enough, go through a period of life/work-related stress, binge/purge most days, and gain the weight back on. You know the drill.

So I'm supposed to be doing some overseas volunteering so I started watching food a bit, ended up eating 800-900cals a day (Idiot). A few days ago I found out my Doctors still hadn't signed my forms due to a massively long waiting list and there's a good chance that I might be able to go away, after spending a good 1.5k on flights/kit/vaccines and a further 3k on the actual experience. Thus began the bingeing. It would normally last an average of 2 weeks but I've been learning to confront stress face on instead of blanking out my feelings by eating shedloads of junk.

I'd just like a few words of reassurance? My friends aren't very helpful when it comes to this kind of thing

Are you sure he isn't trolling? Like, with his whole life..hahaha. I can't take this seriously, magic size zero pill? lol crazy. 

Kinda.... but then I went through all of his twitpics. He's dedicated wayyy too much time to his douchey cause for it to just be a lifelong ubertroll. Methinks he's just a plain and simple, run-of-the-mill, standard fare attention-whore. Anything to get people to notice him.

Not gonna lie though, some of the stuff he gets sent his way; totally jealous.

I never really log my green veggies but always log fruit. I normally eat about 300-400 calories worth a day so if I didn't that would be an extra 2100-2800 a week I didn't take into account.

And that's a LOT of cals to ignore!

Low fat halloumi is amazing! A few thin slices, grillled and placed artfully over the top of a salad, in a pitta with a portobello mushroom, or with some leafy greens and tomatoes between two slices of bread is deeeeeelish.

An average of 6 cups a day I guess? It's almost all caffeine-free though- I just reallyyyyy like the taste :)

I've had an ED for the past 5 years and during that time there have been many, many binges. The worst that springs to mind right now though included:

• A large stuffed-crust pizza
• Ten mozzarella sticks
• Two pieces of garlic bread
• A tub of potato salad
• Potato wedges
• A veggie wrap
• A portion of cheesy chips
• Two belgian waffles
• Two chocolate chip cookies
• And a tub of Ben&Jerries to both ease it all down, and help it come back up later.

This was all in the space of about an hour. I literally thought my stomach was going to split open inside me. Woo!

Showgirls and Burlesque.

They're both majorly tacky, but films where most of the cast spend their time doing some serious sexydancing and wearing spangly costumes which leave little to the imagination always get me pumped.
