Good morning! I'm going to join in this week.

I'm on day 8 binge free. I can't remember the last time I've been an entire week without binging. I am feeling really proud of myself and ready to make it 2 weeks.

It's my first day on here, and this sounds like a great first goal! This is one of my biggest problems, so count me in!

Day one for me....... but I have taken the scales out of my house so I am hoping that it will help somewhat. I am having such a hard time with these last 10 pounds!

I'm in! Sorry I haven't been around guys but I'm managing to do OK. Ever since the holidays came to an end there's no more food or candy at work tempting me. And I've just been trying to remain on track with eating good and working out more. Hope everyone is doing well!

Okay.... I have a question for you all. B/c I know I am with fellow bingers-- it makes more sense to ask the question here.

I am on my last ten pounds. Most of you who know my posts know that I am VERY active during the week (boot camp fitness, walk/run 5 miles a day). However on the weekends I am not quite as busy, and I am working on getting that up just a little, with Sunday being a recovery day.

I asked for "help" on the featherweights thread and I got a reply that said maybe I should wean off of WW and just watch what I eat and bump the exercise up a little.

I am wondering if anyone thinks that being on WW maybe causing me to "think" about my food a little too much (I am bad about that) and I should just eat smaller portions of what i know to be good..... or finish this out with WW points? (I am not going to meetings. My WW leader is right next to me in boot camp).

Any input would be appreciated. Whether it is a pro or a con to WW.

While I have not done WW since the early 1990's, I get the general idea. I had been creating my own meal plans for months. I found it helped me get through the day/week knowing my calories, fat and protein were at a good range. I made it nearly 60 days without binging using that weekly focus. When I did loose it, and start binging again, it was because I was 'sick and tired of being controlled' by myself!

So, how do I feel about it - We all have to live life in the 'real world' eventually. Is this the right time for you? I am not sure. Is it worth a try - if you feel strong enough and motivated, sure why not!

23 days ago I decided to just eat - I know about nutrition, protein, carbs etc etc... I know how to eat, I know when to eat (even though my 'full' reflex is gone due to my BE disorder) ... so I have all the tools, now I just have to use them in 'real life'. I am doing a lot better than I expected even. I still jot down what I am going to eat in a day, but only the day before...

Whatever you decide... you have us on this forum to help you and you have allllll the knowledge you've gained while improving your health so successfully!

Congrats on being so close to your goal!

I've haven't binged in awhile. I really wish I had been keeping track. I will start today and I especially came on here to avoid a binge.

Day 4! And I have exercised this entire long weekend!

At grocery store 2 day : I was super tempted to get cake or chips/Chex mix, and I thought how I can’t face the thought of losing the wt loss challenage @ work, and I thought “cake can wait till April.”

It also helped thinking how all of my pants are tight right now and it just wasn't worth it. I hope I make it to one week!!
