I feel the same way! I am seriously angry, I have been using mfp for 400+ days and this happens now... I feel like it's an invasion of privacy that I was once entitled to. I am in no way paying £7-8 monthly for an app, even with "extra features", I would much rather just pay a bit less just to get rid of the ads. Tempted…

I'm around 220 pounds and 5'8, and usually a size 16/18 (UK sizes). But even when I was 30 pounds lighter I was still around the same size, and that's down to my chest being enormous (double F, I wear sports bras instead of normal ones now) :/ So I think other proportions have a lot to do with what sizes you can fit into.

Haha no I don't think any of this is TMI since so many PCOS sufferers have irregular periods. I used to use Dianette for control of my periods and PCOS. It was working brilliantly, but I gained so much weight in the process (I wasn't careful about what I ate) that my doctors deemed it unsafe and took me off it. I've now…

I struggle with my brain! Gave up haribos for lent and now I can't stop craving them hahaha I struggled with just general laziness and just enjoying unhealthy food too much, instead of making dinner just grabbing the phone and ordering something delicious always seemed like the more appealing option. However, completely…

Hi everyone! I'm always happy to have new friends on here! I have an open diary (which is sometimes really horrendous lol) but I'm really friendly so please feel free to add me :)

You need to change your starting weight or delete old entries, so once you go to your profile, go to "check-in" and click on "edit previous entries".

Helooo! :) I'm 5'8 and was really on and off too, but losing weight for me is always easier with MFP especially if you have some friends on it! :D so anyone here is welcome to add me, beware though my diary can be atrocious sometimes lol hahaha

First of all massive hug! Its so hard to lose weight anyway, let alone PCOS being a huge pain in the process. Everyone has their own food preferences and methods of losing weight which is always a given =) I do find that Metformin helps, but ONLY if you eat borderline healthily and within moderate restricted calories. When…

The 5:2 diet works with a normal consumption 5 days a week but two days a week you have a limit of 500 calories. On the fast days you're not allowed to eat any exercise calories back either. I tried it but failed miserably, I couldn't do 500 calories although it seemed so fine and achievable. Some people swear by this…

This is totally true! I reached my heaviest in January, 108 kilos/17 stone which is as heavy as my big tall greek father haha! Although at first you see the huge mountain you have to climb and it seems more daunting than ever, it will get better very easily with making sure you log absolutely everything you eat and…

Congrats! That is really really good :D! Once it becomes routine it becomes super easy as pie, I shall add you~!

Nice to meet you all! :D I still ideally would like to lose over 100 pounds so please feel free to add me, we all know the struggle so at least we have each other to support :)

Thank you so much, was having the same problem!

Total inspiration! :D

Omg, this. I decided for that day to eat how I normally would, and when I tracked it all at the end of the day it was well over 3000 cals!! Couldn't wait to get back to eating half of that lol. Its definitely surprising how eating less becomes much easier and routine rather than feeling like you're hungry and suffering all…

Hi there! I have been diagnosed with PCOS so I can totally sympathise. I had been doing exactly what you have been doing since last October, but I wasn't seeing much or any results. However it was only until the end of January that I began to properly stick to reduced portion sizes (which is the hardest thing to adjust to)…

Completely amazing :) I can't congratulate you enough on such a journey! You are an inspiration to all of us :D

I totally know what you mean! I used to call myself the void, that I'd just open my mouth and suddenly everything in the kitchen would be gone. Many people out there consider themselves emotional eaters, but I just like food too much I think, it's like a passion, especially when your friends are foodies too but the only…

I'm 5'8", started at 228 lbs, and my goal weight is around 140 pounds (so much to lose, aaahhh!!!) I don't measure any part of my body but I just go to the shops and try on the next smaller size from time to time. I really hope to go from a size 18 to a size 10 (UK sizes) <3

That is fantastic! You are my inspiration :) I've also been trying to change up my lifestyle similarly and seeing results but slowly which made me disheartened, but hearing you talk about your success has perked me back up! Serious big congrats =D

I can't believe someone made a complaint about it! What a cow, she's probably just jealous that you obviously are putting in more effort than her. Keep doing what you're doing, the gym is available to us for our own needs and plus if it really bothers her maybe she should learn to turn up her music! Total respect to you…

Hellooo nice to meet you all :) Feel free to add me if you like! I'm relatively new but so far it's been such a nice and supportive community :D

Although I and most people think that she's a complete nutter and should never be taken seriously, I was interested by her "experiment". After watching it I did see some positives about it but also noticed that the main problem is that she forced herself to do it, never let eating that much become a habit, and she never…

Yayyyyy cool, I shall add you! :D Love having new friends

I eat fast food once a week lol! But it will always be infused into my calories, and it definitely depends on what you choose to eat. I love mcdonalds, but instead of getting a burger and large fries I now choose a wrap and maybe small fries depending on how I'm feeling haha, but it should still be something to enjoy with…

There came a time when I was eating a McDonalds wrap every week and was still losing a steady 1-2 pounds a week! It's just important to remember to size down the portions and choose a healthier alternative that they offer, as a standard normal meal from McDonalds with chips can amount to 1000+ calories, as i've learned.…

Heloooo! I also think it's important not to take everything too seriously during such a journey, otherwise it just becomes toooo serious and depressing *cries over ice cream Yayyy friends, I shall add you if that okey :'D

Heyaa Christina, I'm new to the forums too :) I just turned 21 and I know what you mean about it feeling serious this time. I feel like I should be in my prime right now and I'm just not, and don't want to spend my twenties like this! So my motivation would be that lets start working towards being in our prime! I'm…

Hi there!! Wow I feel so short compared to everyone else lol! I'm 5'8, also with PCOS and have around 70lbs to lose! I'm new to the forums so would love to have some friends, please feel free to add me anyone :)
