Hey ladies! I have PCOS as well! There are actually a TON of women who have it on here - and some great success stories!!! There are some large groups for PCOS on MFP - just search PCOS! So far, I've heard/read/seen/and been recommened by doctors that high fat, low carbs is the key. Or high protein, low carbs. But LOW…

Hey Raenell!!! Don't ever let people shame you from their pedestals. Or reduce your story to a simple If This Then That statement. Whether you "love" yourself isn't up to anyone but you - and certainly not up for a complete stranger to debate. No one knows your story but you. And for the most part, this site is FILLED with…

Let me ask you this. How do you think about working out? What are the first things that come to mind? Do you think about it as work? Like a chore? Like... well I guess I HAVE to do this to get X. Do you think of your body as this other "thing" that you are trying to tune up? Or do you think about it as an engaging time…

I haven't! I will check them out. Do they sync with MFP?

Way to go Lisa!!! I am on Day 5 of logging all my meals - it feels great to almost have a week under the belt - right!!! And I think you are right on track. Diet sodas can wreak havoc - maybe not in the most straightforward caloric way - but chemically, for the taste buds, for future appetite and cravings, nutrient…

Thanks guys!

Really sweet, and probably a great listener!

Hey girl! I know it can be tough. And what they say about motivation, making decisions, having dedication.. all of that is true. But it is also important to have some self compassion. Self blame and shame will only hurt you and push you farther down the road of avoidance, punishment, and putting things off. So instead of…

A lot of scales sync automatically, and I have googled it, just wanted to see if anyone was using any that they loved!

Add me add me!!! I'm almost 30, ex athlete with PCOS. Have around 100lbs to lose. Eating paleo and looking for life change! ✨ I'm active on here every day - let's do it!

I will have to try this!!! Thanks!

I like a large amount of finely chopped Claassen pickles, even some of the juice, mustard, and some chopped apples. Keeps it pretty low cal and still delicious!

Hahahaha... good one. :)

I've struggled with emotional eating and the occasional binging most of my life. I feel you on the anxiety, the obsessiveness of what is to eat next, the blocking out of accountability and the stuffing - the calmness you get for just a little bit after the storm of eating. Then when you start to feel anxious again its…

For me, I let an all or nothing outlook talk me out of even starting. When I look at all of the pounds and all of the work it would take all at once - it's often easier not to even start at all. I also like recalling all the times things "didn't" work... And I get the satisfaction of being right when something else fails.…

Girrrrrrrl. Old Navy is where it's at. Easy on the budget, sales all the time, and plenty of options. Cute and up to date as well!!! You might have to order online for the plus sizes (I do) buts it's free shipping and returns. Pick out what you like, try it on at home, return the rest. I'm obsessed. ❤️

Thanks for sharing!!! I have PCOS and was vegan for a year also (mainly just out of curiosity and ethical reasons). I think eating so many soy based and grain based products hurt me in the long run tho. I'm now a few days into a Paleo diet, and from everything I read and the success stories I've heard, it seems to be right…
