  • Just finished Level One/Day 10!!! I've started and stopped a few times before(Iast year). This is the first time I have ever made it through the full 10 days. I can't wait to start Level 2 tomorrow...even though I know it's going to be killer! I've lost 2 pounds and 5.25" combined on my body. The only disappointment that I…
  • I started at 232. I am at 207 right now. My goal is somewhere near 130. Feel free to add me.
  • Well, it's technically Thursday now (1:22am), but I just found this challenge and completed it! Loved it! Can't wait for the next one.
  • I have to do these workouts barefoot...I have extremely wide feet and good tennis shoes are hard to come by. When I tried wearing tennis shoes while doing this workout last year my feet ended up cramping and they hurt for weeks. I also workout on hardwood floors...I have a yoga mat(which is thin) that I use and my husband…
  • I am also doing the 30DS...started on January 1st. :) My plan after the 30 days is to do the 30 Day Slim Down....it's a combination of Jillian dvds that alternate day by day. The dvds you need are: 30DS, Yoga Meltdown, No More Trouble Zones, and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. I haven't tried the No More Trouble Zones or the…
  • You look awesome! You can definitely tell there is a huge difference between those photos. Keep up the good work!
  • My doctor also told me that I am only slightly insulin resistant (which surprised her since she thought for sure I would have major insulin resistance given my dark patches of skin, which is a sign of insulin resistance). She advised me that I am teetering on the edge of being pre-diabetic...which scared the crap out of…
  • My doctor placed me on BeYaz last year for about 3 months. It started shrinking my "cysts" right away, but it wasn't working as fast as my doctor preferred. She then placed me on SAFYRAL, which has Drospirenone to help with the abnormal hair growth, and I've been having great success with it. I am also on anti-depressants…
  • Johnson City!!!
  • I am trying to lose weight in order to conceive and to also have a healthy pregnancy. I was diagnosed with PCOS last January and my doctor said the more weight I lose the easier it will be to conceive without hormone treatments and what not. We are hoping to start trying next fall/winter, which around the time we'll turn…
  • I am not into jewelry or mani/pedis and my feet are super wide(regardless of my weight) so shoe shopping is always a chore. I decided to get a few new clothing items for every 25 pounds lost. If I am doing really well with my exercising then I reward myself with new workout clothes or a new workout DVD. When I reach my…
  • Beautiful! Made me cry, but it gives me hope.
  • I have very wide feet...almost as wide as they are long. It's hard for me to find good tennis shoes to walk in, let alone to exercise in. I always end up with major foot cramps or busted blood vessels in my feet when I wear tennis shoes to work out. So, hard on my feet or not...BAREFOOT is the way to go for me.

  • I would suggest getting another opinion. A lot of people on here will recommend seeing an endocrinologist, but it's not necessary if you have a good OBGYN who is well versed with PCOS. Have a blood test, glucose test, and ultrasound done...those combined things will help with a diagnosis of PCOS. If doctors aren't familiar…
  • I just started on Saturday. My arms and back are super sore, but it's worth it if I see some major results.
  • After speaking with my OBGYN about my issues (body hair, skin tags, no periods, depression, issues with weight) she said "Clinically it sounds like you have PCOS". She ran extensive blood tests, only to find that my glucose levels were perfectly fine. Everything in my blood test came back fine, other than high levels of…
  • "Today I will love myself enough to exercise." (author unknown...found it on pinterest)
  • I have not always been overweight. I didn't start moving towards an 'overweight' category until I quit playing sports in high school. College came around and I made bad food choices....like fast food. I have always eaten fast food, but I wasn't burning off any of the fast food I was taking in. I am a hardcore emotional…
  • 1300-1400 calories a day. Right now I am trying to limit my carbs, but I am slowly easing myself into that. I don't do well when I try to cut foods out totally or severely limit various foods suddenly. I just end up binge eating when I get frustrated and then I end up back at square one....which is not at all what I want.

  • I was just diagnosed with PCOS last Friday. At first I was super depressed, but then I decided that I didn't want to let this diagnosis get the best of me. I immediately got online, thinking there would be a group for PCOS on MyFitnessPal. I found the group but, I can't access it. Can someone please send me an invite?
