Weight Loss

I was flicking through the "games and challenges" and they all seem to have changed a lot since i was on here last (3 months ago).

I'm looking for one with no frills or needless things.
I just want a challenge with weekly weigh ins and the ability to talk to people about whatever dieting problems i'm (and everyone else is) having that day.

I've been really struggling with compulsive eating.
I'm thinking about trying meditation to get out of it.
Anyway, i've gain 20 lbs in 3 months and i want to lose 25 by December at the latest.

Alternatively, if anyone would like to start a simple challenge with weekly weigh ins and discusion, i would be interested in starting one.
I have nothing else to do so i don't mind doing one.
Could go from July 1st to August 1st?

Anyway :) thanks for your time! hope you have a great night!

If this includes some exercises during the week as well, count me in. I am looking to lose 45 pounds myself.

Of course, it just means there wont be a point system.
So, obviously it's best if you work out during the week because you'll have a better weight loss result, it just means you wont get specific points for doing it.
But thats cool :) if i get a couple of other people who are interested, i'll set up another thread and leave a link to it from here :)

I am not even sure what a point system is. Anyway, I am in. Losing weight with a buddy is the best.

 

Oh ok, well there are challenges like Slimming Mini's (which i don't think is going this month) that did a point system.
3 points for every 15 minutes of exercise, 2 points for ever 8oz of water, 1 point for ever fruit or vegetable.
1 point for every pound lost, then it was just who ever had the most points in the end, won the challenge.
I found in the end that i was getting too stressed about getting more points though!
I was trying to push myself to work out to rediculous amounts and drinking more water then i wanted, so... I just want a simple weekly weigh in group for a month to see how i do :)
I'll go make a thread in the games and challenges page, then i'll come post a link here!

If it doesn't work just let me know.

I am so disgusted with myself!!  Again, just as I am doing good, I blow it..  I was stressed beyond words and last night I ate 2 bowls of ice cream and it did not stop there, nearly a package of cheese, a steak and potato  a container of chicken and noodles, a can of soup and 2 ice cream bars..  Today, I am puffy and feel hungover. I have been able to walk of a day like I had been because I have been babysitting , unexpectantly for several days with out relief, but in morning will get back on it.

I feel your pain :( I'm having the same problem!
Though lately i haven't found any "happy binge foods" so i haven't eaten to the same extreme.
I eat until i feel ill (like tonight and just about every other night this week!) but not to the point where i feel hungover.
I have a couple of times but not recently.
Recently i've been getting more frustrated/angry because i cant find that "right" food that would "satisfy" me.

*sigh* damn human bodies and brains :)

may I join you?

I am 60 lbs and 1 year into my 75 lb journey.  I am sort of plateaued at 169-173.  I am happy with the way I look most of the time as long as I do not let the up and down of the scale bother me.  I jog almost every day --3-5 miles.  I drink lots of water (too much alcohol, but I am working on that one), and I eat right every day --maybe a little too much once in a while.  I too go through binge-like phases sometimes.   I am a bored/unhappy eater at times when the bf is too busy with other junk. 

motivation:  I've had quite a few deaths in the family this last year, my bf was stressed badly enough recently to regress and buy a pack of cigs???  gimme a break --- it took me too long to quit for real and forever to do that to me again, and I am gettign ready to finish this month of teaching summer school, so I will have all day to waste and lay around if I do not find somethign better to do with my time after Friday.  

help?   ( :

Hey, of course you can join the war against fat! hehe :)
I posted a link above to the challenge so come by and post your stats and i'll add you to the list and everything :)

Hey there,

I'm new to the site, but not new in the struggle to drop that 15 lbs. I exercise all the time (and am training for a marathon in October), but I eat way too much and need some support. It doesn't help that I'm working abroad for the summer in Madrid with the temptations of local foods and sweets. I'm not exactly sure how this works, but can I join your group for July? It sounds like it would be great motivation.

 

Thanks!

I too am a weird eater.......I do awesomely all day and then overdo it at night time.  / : one day I will master moderation in everything, but for now, I am struggling.   Exercising almost every day seems easy now ---- when did the eating get hard again?

Sure Happiegal1! feel free to join the gang for July, below is a link to the tread :)
