  • Way to go! I applaud your focus and determination! I'm 45 days in (and back after a year away and a 30lb weight regain due to injury and apathy.) Thanks for sharing what has worked for you so far. I am a single mom of two (ages 6 and 9) and I work full-time so I can relate to the challenge of making the time and finding…

  • @jess830409 I know. HIIT and running were the two things that always worked for me in the past. Low-intensity seems to easy but it's worth a shot! Feel free to add me if you'd like. I say let's both give it a try for a month as an experiment and see what happens.
    in HELP! Anyone know anything about hormone imbalance and weight loss?? Comment by ameliabee6 February 2017
  • First off, I'm so sorry for your health issues at such a young age and I hope you are well now. I completely empathize with your frustration about the hormone imbalance and no weight loss. I am in a similar situation and have been reading a lot about stress and cortisol and their connection to weight loss/gain. Everything…

  • @doverlyk well, when I'm 'eating clean' and watching my carbs, my sugar intake looks great. I really do think you are on to something about stress being a factor. I have A LOT of it in my life. thanks for responding :-)
    in Help! Why am I gaining so much weight?!?! Comment by ameliabee6 February 2017
  • I recently made this DietDoctor.com recipe for chicken with herbed butter that was CRAZY good and left me totally sated. I think it would be great on fish too. Here's the recipe: https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/chicken-breast-with-herb-butter
    in protein + fat dinner idea? Comment by ameliabee6 January 2017
  • I am in the EXACT same boat as you, right down to the amount of time and weight. I even had one cheat day and that's it with my calories averaging out to where there still should be some loss. It's really frustrating but keep at it. Remember the other benefits to this journey - how you feel - your energy levels are…

  • Wow, thank you ladies for posting these "short gal" success stories! You all have inspired me!!! I have a question though. A few people posted about body recomposition (building muscle while losing fat through training and calorie intake "cycling"). Is this something you can do WHILE you are trying to lose weight or AFTER…

  • I've been drinking green smoothies with a few cups of spinach, stevia, half a frozen, sliced banana, unsweetened almond milk and one tablespoon of peanut butter powder. It ends up being about 13 carbs but I feel like it's a great way to get some extra veggies in and the banana helps with potassium. It really tastes great…

    in slow metabolism and cycling carb levels? Comment by ameliabee6 January 2017
  • Count me in! I would love to be part of your support system ladies. I am starting fresh this week after a year of doing nothing. In Jan. 2015 I was officially free from an unhealthy marriage. I had started running as therapy the year before. I got down to my ultimate goal weight and Sept. 2015 I ran a half marathon. I kept…

  • Great advice ... Had not considered the issue of electrolytes! Thank you both for the input!
    in slow metabolism and cycling carb levels? Comment by ameliabee6 January 2017
  • Hey there! I'm in the same boat. I think I've lost and gained the same 25 pounds about 500 times. I actually got down to my goal weight during a really ugly divorce two years ago, and kept it off for a year, only to break my back and spend a year on the couch comfort eating. When I logged on to start over again I now weigh…

In the past three years I managed to leave a very unhappy and unhealthy marriage, land on my feet financially and emotionally, run a half marathon, get down to my goal weight and…

  • Hi there! Until about one month ago, I was taking Metformin for PCOS and to stave off pre-diabetes for about 10 years. I was taking 2,000 mg a day. It worked at first and I lost a little weight, got my energy back and carb cravings diminished for the first couple years (and I even managed to regulate my cycles and have two…
    in Anybody on Metformin? Comment by ameliabee6 January 2017
  • Hi there! Please count me in too. I am definitely in need of some encouragment! I'm 42 and have been battling PCOS for about a decade now. It came on suddenly after I stopped taking the pill and my dr. put me on Metformin. I've lost and regained the same 30 pounds so many times and now even on met I just keep gaining. I've…
