Actually I am watching American Idol. I haven't watched in a few weeks. I watch the biggest loser every now and then. Maybe no one else responded because they are watching it. haha. =) I am watching this, on here, and cleaning in between. I'm crazy.
Continuing the Live Chat discussion that I started about the Biggest Loser but never got to finish since I needed to spend time with hubby--- I read your responses to it and that's actually a great point about it being sad that people have to go home.
What happened with the first episode of Biggest Loser? They sent NINE people home on the first night (split up 9 teams). The reason behind it being that they want people to know they CAN DO THIS at home, without that bootcamp atmosphere.
I truly do want to get better though. Do you think I have an Eating Disorder? Should I get professional help? My mom is not allowing me to do strenuous activity right now. I am only allowed to walk on the treadmill at a slow pace. I used to do Insanity and P90X. I feel like I am at the opposite end of the spectrum because I have over 10 pounds of water weight in me right now, so this isn't my natural size. My stomach gets so bloated I look pregnant sometimes.
Unfortunately, the surgery does nothing for an eating disorder. Everyone with an eating disorder someone inside has the belief that " life will be perfect" if they lose weight. It's that belief that is part of the disorder. My suggestion would be to get a referral to a therapist experienced in eating disorders. OA is also a wonderful support for people with all sorts of eating disorders. The cravings for sugar are both physical and psychological.
I wish there was more of a sense of hope that I could leave you with, however this a disorder that rarely ends in a happy story. 20% fully recover, 20% die due to the eating disorder, and the rest struggle with the eating disorder for the rest of their lives. I hope that things end up for the best with you.
addiction affects the whole family not just you
you need a plan I often say people dont plan to fail they fail to plan ....by now I dont have to tell you this is a recurring disorder it requires work to get clean butb more so work to stay clean have you tryed N/A yet??
The show The Biggest Loser shows how much weight it is possible to lose in a week, and at most, these people eating a strict diet of mostly vegetables and exercising like crazy, these people lose between 2 and 10 lb a week. Not every week is the higher number, so it probably averages about 6 lb a week. 6 x 8 weeks is 48 lb. But unless you don't work, you don't have time to exercise as much as they do.
If you have ever watched Biggest Loser, the trainers talk about plateaus and things like that. If increasing calories works for you, just make sure you are getting healthy foods and only healthy fats. You could add foods like avocados and more nuts, for instance, or more fatty fish. Remember the importance of fiber. Read up on how healthy kale and brussel sprouts are. Do what works for you, but keep the food healthy, not wasted calories.
Hi RT93,
Short answer: Based on your previous weight loss success, your current weight, diet, and exercise, I think you might have a metabolism problem. Get someone to check out your thyroid hormone levels and specifically your freeT3 which is the active thyroid hormone and is found to be lower in people who have been on extreme calorie restriction diets. Look up info on "Biggest Loser syndrome", see if you think you might fit that profile.
I Need Opinions Ladies. What Is A Good Middle Name For Kai. I Love The First Name And Want To Keep It, But I Need A Middle Name.
So we just found out baby #2 is another boy and we honestly don't know what to do about a name! My husband and I can't agree on any names. We finally agreed on the name EZRA-KAI ZAYAS. But now I'm having second thoughts on it because I think people will pronounce it as one like EZRAKAI.
Hi ladies i had my son Kai on the 10th nov by c-section he weighed 7lb 7oz and is absolutely gorgeous, i would have updated earlier but we both caught an infection in the hospital so we were kept in longer because we both needed anti biotics and Kai had to have his through an iv but were home now and Kai is doing great so im really happy.
