My weight is much higher than yours but I've been struggling with PCOS symptoms that aren't really PCOS per lab results, and basically advised to lose weight if I want to ovulate again. 40 lbs down, still not a great deal of improvement hormonally, but I've half give up on the idea of a second child so the urgency isn't so…

I've "done" C25K in the sense that I've spent forever on week 1, if that counts at all. Week 1 is just as much of a workout for me as an express spin (30 mins) class, it just uses different body parts, and I'm happy hanging out at my current fitness level so I'm not in a hurry to push through the week 1 wall. I'm in…

I made sheet pan chicken fajitas and had it over brown rice instead of tortillas. Chicken tenders, bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, onions seasoned w/garlic, salt, pepper, chili powder, and baked instead of sauteed (hence sheet pan).

C25K and be okay with yourself if you need two or three or more rounds of week 1.

I've lost (and regained) a LOT of weight as an adult, with most of that being on "weigh once a week" plans. I started weighing daily about 6 months ago and I feel so better mentally and am much more consistent with what I eat when I see the number every day. It also helps me with the reality that fluctuations are not the…

It's your blender. I wasn't able to ditch the grit until I upgraded to a Ninja, and even then I have to blend the heck out of it. If you're using fresh kale/spinach, you might try frozen and see if you get a better texture that way. Bonus, it doubles as ice.

While I agree with you that eating whole foods is more affordable than most people make it out to be, I disagree that everybody can afford to eat whole, fresh foods (or even many frozen vegetables). When you live on a disability or SNAP supplemental, pay for all your meds out of your limited income, etc and so forth, only…

Twenty years from now, I don't want to be where my mother is today (and I don't want my kid to be where I am today). Outrunning things like adult onset diabetes is my primary motivation. Secondary motivations (but no less important) include playing with my kid and being strong enough to still carry him out of Target if…

Hi there! I'm a MFP newbie but not a diet newbie - like you I'm 5'5, 256 lbs (but 6 months ago I was 293 lbs so there's hope!). You've gotten a lot of good suggestions but I wanted to speak up about the yoga issue. Megan Garcia (I believe, I could be wrong on last name) wrote a book and created a DVD specifically…
