roadworthy

PCOS for a few years now over here:) That's ok, we just have to work a little bit harder. I get you on the mood part, sometimes I just lose all motivation. Other than being sick yesterday I am back on track. I refuse to give up. I have lost 10 lbs so far and around 15 inches. Recently I have read that Chromium with…

Thanks for sharing, will have to try this. I never eat cottage cheese unless I make a lasagna.

Hang in there!:) I was exactly the same as you. I could get my calories in if I ate crap no problem. Once I changed some eating habits I felt I would never get enough in a day. I have had to make a few mistakes. One of them was burning over 3500 calories per week while eating 1200 and just a few of my excersise calories.…

The next time you are grocery shopping go to the produce department and pick up a 5lb bag of carrots. You will be amazed at how much lighter you really already are!:)

You look fantastic. You appear so confident and so very proud, you should be!

I am not sure either but I measure the following neck, about the middle left arm, largest point waist, about an inch or so above belly button abs, right around belly button hips, I use the mirror and measure the widest point left thigh, widest point bust, again, widest point I think if you always head for the largest part…

Mine is open to friends. I figure I am here to be honest with myself, why not others? I don't comment on anyones daily diary report if I can not see what they have consumed just like the OP. I really can not understand why I would need it closed. Maybe I will find out in the comments to follow:)

I was looking into this book yesterday. I have heard a lot of good things about it. One question though? Do you think you need a gym membership or would using weights at home work with this book?

I actually cussed out loud!(good thing the kiddos are at school) You look so amazing! Congrats on your loss:)

This is a life style change for me. I feel like a diet is something where you deprive yourself or force insane amounts of workouts in even when you don't have time. Eventually I will burn out and go back to my old ways. I still eat treats, I eat from all food groups, I just eat more better things and less treats. Because I…

I am always up for more friends:)

Yep, it happens:) Sometimes 6 lbs or more. I do not weigh myself around that time because although I know the cause I find it discouraging. By the third day in it seems to disappear:)

Hello and welcome:) I am not tall however, I do have PCOS. I started the weightloss journey on January 25th. I was weighing 224 lbs then. Today I weighed in at 214 lbs. I don't think that is too bad all things considered. I am not on any medication. I have tried to just make healthier choices and increase my activity. Feel…

I am always up for more friends:)

Welcome to MFP:) I am always looking for new friends. I have about 80 or so lbs to lose. I will send a f/r

Wow, thanks for sharing. I will give cinnamon a try. I was diagnosed a few years ago and choose not to take medication unless I really have to. My blood sugar tests are always normal, that I am thankful for. I had a small NSV this week though. I have to attribute it to all of the exercise I have been getting as I can not…

Such a great idea, thanks so much for sharing:)

I like my oatmeal rather old school. I always undercook them slightly, I hate anything mushy. I only use old fashioned steel cut oats, never quick or instant. My favourite way to eat them is with a little bit of half and half and brown sugar.

I just recently did the same thing. I was on 1200 for a bit but some days I was burning 800+ calories. I was finding that at times I really didn't have any energy. I would like to be able to continue with my workouts as I am beginning to become somewhat addicted to activity! I bought an HRM and I think that was the…

I am so happy for you, that must be such an amazing feeling! I hope to be there too, 15 more lbs to go!:)

I am a stay at home mom so I do have the time to get workouts in most days. Some days I am extremely busy and feel I dont have it. Those days I put my ipod on and start by jogging on the spot, soon I am dancing, doing jumping jacks, scrunches etc. You would be amazed at how many calories you burn just by giving it your all…

Chocolate Banana Smoothie 1/2 cup milk 1/3 of a banana (more if you like) 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder 3 ice cubes 1 tsp powdered sugar ( I dont use a full tsp but it does help)

Bumping:)

Great work! You look fantastic

You are freaking beautiful! I love that you can be proud of who you are Great job girl:)

I am glad to know that I am not the only one not following along as well... My BMR is 1734 My TDEE is 2075 So I am to eat 1734 everyday and set my MFP goal to maintain and then with exercise have a deficit of 1000 or less? Am I close or way off here? LOL

If a spot becomes available this sounds like just the challenge for me!:)

Week 1 Weekly Goal: 3500 I wear my Polar during all exercise so if my totals are off to you, you likely don't have the same body as me;) Mon: 1055 burned - jogging in place, dancing, walking, some heavy cleaning, aerobics and decided to play some Just Dance with the kids tonight. I have never done this much! Tues: 562…
