Start Weight:	(24 Oct 11) 188.0 lb
Current Weight:	(19 May 13) 175.8 lb
Goal Weight:	147.0 lb

following: kitty-eared-girl's own diet
performance: losing 0.2 lb a week

I'm a 25 year old who has struggled with weight for most of my life. I had the great opportunity to study abroad in Tokyo for four months, and dropped from 198 to 186. Unfortunately, I gained almost all of it back within a year of returning home. I'm tired of feeling my thighs rub when I walk, and of being ashamed to wear anything less than a one piece bathing suit.

I currently moved, and have great access now to a gym and Dance Dance Revolution pads, along with more free time to concentrate on my eating habits. I've been working at it since the start of September, and am hoping to hit my target weight goals by next summer, so I can (for the first time in my life) buy a legitimate bikini!

Adding Photo to Food Description
Just added a new food to the database and clicked the option to add a photo, which brought me to a different screen. On the new screen I clicked the option (again) to "add photo +". Doing so simply reloaded that page. I couldn't find any way to add the photo elsewhere.

Help?

Diet Transition (Standing to Desk Job)
This past Monday (1/14) I transitioned from my job at a casual dining restaurant to a desk job. In the first week alone I gained three pounds, despite packing my lunch and accounting for my calories. I know the issue here is transitioning from constantly running around in the restaurant to a stagnant position. I'm currently in the process of cutting back my calories to match the little bit of movement that I am getting now, but my body tends to freak out on me, thinking that I'm not eating enough (based on my last year and a half of dieting), and I end up binge-eating when I get home (things like cheese and peanut butter).

My question is, outside of keeping track of calories, is there any easy way to get your body comfortable in this transition?

Food Problem
I have a similar issue, but it's a focus more on specific foods. For example, if I know I have a jar of peanut butter in the cabinet, I will constantly think about it until I go and have some (i.e. peanut butter and a spoon).

The easiest way for me personally to deal with this is to not keep these trigger foods in my apartment. I haven't bought peanut butter in a few months now because I find if I don't have access to it, I don't mentally crave it. Same with Oreos. If the boyfriend brings some home, I find that I will think about them until I end up having some. My self control is disgustingly absent, and I know this. Which is why I avoid temptation by not keeping items like that in the house.

No More Workouts on Netflix?!
Over the last two months or so I have fallen in love with getting my yoga burn on via Netflix (Ellen Barret's "Crunch: Super Slimdown" being my favorite).

Turn it on today and suddenly it's no longer there! I still have the "Sports and Fitness" section showing up, but the only relevant hit I'm seeing is "Shanti Generation Yoga for Teens". Searching for "yoga" "pilates" "exercise" and "fitness" don't return any of the workout videos they had before (even the 10 minute solution ones are gone). I've tried googling to see if I could find any news on this, but it appears it's all simply been yanked.

Anyone have a loophole around this? I'm assuming I'm simply going to have to pick up the DVDs of the programs I used to use now T-T

Some of these 'fat' chicks aren't FAT!
...this is why I have yet to don a bikini (despite gentle nudges from my boyfriend on the subject). I'm afraid that this is what other people will see if I go out dressed in one.
