Wow, just got on this site cause I'm really trying to loose weight the healthy way again. Thought maybe finding people with similar strugles and goals would help, but this is amazing. I am 163.2 or something today which is about ten pounds down. I just signed up for this site and never for a million years thought I would find other people out there who strugle with their weight and mia issues too, and are ready to talk about it. I strugled with mia quiet a bit in college and it's mostly under control now but I still fight it sometimes, which is what scares me so much about tackling the weight. Anyhoo... well, I'm glad I'm in good company and I know we can do this right with support.

Good luck to all!

Good job Cameraobscura!

Natjo, I have an issue from time to time with adult acne. My skin looks great when: I keep my hands off of it, use a toner after I wash it, and most importantly put on lotion to hydrate it

[Hope2]

Welcome Brennaboo!!!!

Glade you joined...

I don't have the MIA issue, but I had major problems with skiping meals for many years. Now that I'm feeding my body, and excersising, my weight is coming off. Just started here last week, and lost 4lbs within that week...


Wish you tons of sucsess! With healthy weightloss!!!

Hey cameraobscura I have actually asked my mom not to buy me yogurt ever again and she has agreed. All the yogurts she bought yesterday are gone, which is a horrid thing I have done, but I am not going to let it happen again. I am done with that. So she said if I ask for one or two she will buy them for me. So that is what I shall do.

and than I asked her to buy me strawberries, which she is... yes! Very nice. I will love those. I love Strawberries. I love fruit, thus the problem with the yogurt, its all fruit, and this paricular ones tastes like the fruit, no fakeness to it.
but thanks hun
I know I can eat yogurt and eat it in moderation, thing is, I just can't right now. I am really horrid with hounding down things. So I can't buy particular things, because temptation is so high ...

anyway and Hope2 ..thanks for the advice. I think I once used a lotion and it got worse. My skin is already oily, so I have to wash it will neutrogena. I am trying to anyway, my skin looks really good right now, except for the pimples which are in various spots. Only one on my face, but its big ..the other ones are on my chin... so I have to figure out why I am getting them on my neck and I have to figure out a way to take care of those. I think its partly breaking of the hair follicles, because I have to shave my chin and part of my neck because I have pcos.. which is a good reason to stop binging ..many health issues here..

anyway ..thanks ladies

hope you have a good day or night

always

I have to agree with Hope2. I mean my mother had some acne and she just didnt squeeze the pimples, washed often and used lotions. She had oily face... But then she lost weight and shes "normal"

What kind of amounts calories do you guys eat a day?
I think im eating too little.. like 500-900 calories a day... sometimes more, sometimes less. And I dont eat junk foods.. never really have.. Only bad things for me have been sweets and chocolate.
I dont mind about the 500-900 cal's a day. Its just that Im not even hungry. I eat tomatoes,cucumber (mmmmm! love cucumber!), pineapple and some other veggies for break fast, and I run with it most of the day until eveningish when I eat a "Normal" dinner.. like chicken and rice a bit, and then im full and not hungry again!
Tho the thing is that I should start drinking more so I wont get dehydred.
Ive NEVER liked water, I think it tastes disgusting.. but now ive started drinking it, but only like 2-5 glasses a day. I gotta start drinking that more !

Anyway , I really wish you all good night/day, and good luck for now! Im off to sleep

Try the water mix-ins. They taste like kool-aid and aren't that bad for you.

You should be really taking in more calories than that. In the sticky thread there is a calculater to figure out how much you should be taking in for calories ..but even 1200 would be too little ...

read the sticky threads and some where there is a calc ..use it ..it does conversions for you I believe

best wishes
have a good day or night to you too !!

I have never really tried counting calories ..but I am going to start ..starting with my three eggs in the morning ...

Hey Amy Jo! Welcome to the thread!

Also, I'm 5'1.5" and I take the half whenever I can.

Sometimes I lie and say I'm five two. (Oh no!)

I teach middle school so the kids use me as a yardstick. I almost got a Napoleon complex from it! Luckily I'm teaching seventh grade this year (rather than sixth) so the kids are all already taller than me. ;-)

Nice! Have fun!
