Add me! I need some competition! :) https://www.fitbit.com/user/2DXTMX

This is not necessary. This is the OP's issue - not his wife's. She is under no obligation to follow his diet rules.[/quote] I understand where you are all coming from in that it's HIS decision to eat better, and he should have the strength and will power to just say NO. But do none of you remember how HARD it was when you…

Maine!! :)

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2010. To me it means I just have to work a little harder to get to my goals, and it's even THAT much more of an achievement when I reach them. I gained nearly 100 lbs after being diagnosed. Some was due to the disease, some was me using PCOS as a crutch or excuse for my unhealthy habits. I have…

Hello! I am in a similar position myself. I have been trying for a baby for right around 3 years with no success. I have PCOS, and one totally blocked Fallopian tube so I am working with half the equipment! I have done three rounds of clomid, and one round of femera with no luck. I decided to take a much needed break in…

Anyone feel free to add me! Always looking for more friends to travel this journey with! :)

Yes! I don't go to the gym and I am down just under 30 lbs so far. When it's nice enough out i walk in the am and on my breaks. At home I have a HUGE collection of work out videos, and my favorite is looking up Kettle bell work outs online and doing that! Good luck to you!

What kind of name is Stove? Are you an appliance?

Awesome job! You look great!!! :)

People started noticing around 25lbs for me. You should be proud of yourself for any positive change though! It is nice to hear from other people too, I get it! :) Congrats on your progress!

Hello! I too have PCOS. Unfortunately everyone loses weight at their own pace, and PCOS can sometimes make it a little more tricky! I'm currently down 27lbs, I started my lifestyle change in June, so I'm moving relatively slowly. Slow and steady wins the race though! I changed my eating habits, by eating healthier options,…

I am right there with you! I started at 217, and my goal weight is 130. I am currently at 190. Feel free to add me! Always looking for new people to travel this weight loss journey with! :)

@mccanb41 I have the same issue! I've lost 27 lbs so far, and not much of it seems to be coming from the belly area... which is one of my worst areas! We will get there eventually!! :)

Love the way you put this! :)

Hey all! I have 61 lbs left to lose, down 26 so far! Feel free to add me! Always looking for new friends to travel this weight loss journey with! Good luck to everyone :)

Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me. Love traveling this weight loss journey with others! :)

BAHAHAHA. fantastic.

Woohoo! Add me! I could always use motivational friends! :) MFP is a great support system!

Hello! My goal for calories is 1200 per day. I try to eat three meals and two snacks, and I keep them on a schedule. This helps with metabolism. Ladies with PCOS should stay away from sugar and carbs as much as possible (which totally sucks btw!). Lots of water! As far as exercise goes I try to work out a minimum of 20…

Don't men have it made? Mine is losing weight much faster than me as well! We will get there, slow and steady takes the win! PCOS is horrible, I agree it's great to have these support groups! Hirsutism is one of my worst side effects as well. It makes me so insecure, but we have to remember we're beautiful the way we are!!…

Congrats on your awesome weight loss! Keep up the great work!! :) Heather

I'm sorry you were left in the dark, so to say, when diagnosed with PCOS! No one should be scared or uninformed when diagnosed with a disease! I have had my fair share of experience with PCOS, and have been through several fertility treatments (it sounds like something you may consider in the future?) so if you ever need…

I am on it 2x a day. I have been taking it for about 6 months now. I honestly don't see any positive results from it. I have lost 25 lbs, but it's hard to say it is helping when I have totally changed my life style! I never had any negative side effects as far as nausea or anything, but it's making me lose my hair like…

Would love friends and motivation! Lets inspire each other! :) https://www.fitbit.com/user/2DXTPG feel free to add me on here as well!

Welcome Jessica! I think you will find MFP to be really helpful with keeping you on track, I know it is for me! Feel free to add if me you would like! Good luck with your weight loss journey! :)

I am going to be honest. As someone who has a severe issue with over eating, binge eating, and any other unhealthy relationships with food, I am not ALWAYS going to be strong enough to chose water or gum when I'm having that craving. With that being said, I try to prepackage some of my craved foods like peanut butter…

I too have a serious issue with binge eating! It's the worst feeling. If you guys are anything like me, you feel guilty and horrible about it AS it's happening, never mind the guilt i feel when I am done! Thank goodness we all have EACH OTHER to help us through it! Feel free to add me for some extra support! :)

Hi Everyone! First off congrats to those making progress and good luck to you who have started your weight loss journey! It is tough, but I think the support from others can really help! My name is Heather, I am 28 years old and was diagnosed with PCOS about 5 years ago. I very quickly gained around 50 lbs, and more…
