  • I'm right there with you missus. :( I lost 30 pounds earlier this year and was fit as a fiddle until the day I found out I was pregnant...The second I found out, I threw my smokes (and my heavy smoking habit) out the window. It was HARD. Everyone I know gives me the pats on the head for "doing right by my baby", but I…
  • I had a BodyGem test (it was cheap - $100 through my gym which was conveniently located in a hospital), but didn't believe it, so I had this sleep study thing for actual results. BodyGem had me around 1300 I think, the sleep study had me at 1114 exactly. This is going to be controversial, but I've been living with PCOS for…
  • Firstly, is that what this whole thing is based on? Because MFP recommends an absolute minimum of 1200 cals/day? Huh. I don't pay much attention to that, I strictly use it to track my caloric intake and macros, but that's just me. I guess the difference is, I've been battling my weight for as long as I can remember (I was…

I guess the point of me participating in this conversation after being a member of mfp for two years of lurking is to say that aren't we all fighting the same battle? We're all here for the same reasons - to better ourselves in one way or another.…
  • Jeez louise, that's a bit snarky, don't you think? I have PCOS and insulin resistance (thanks to a ****ty diet/lack of exercise for the first 25 years of my life) both tested and confirmed from blood testing and continued visits with my Dr over the last 10 years. I have *also* had my metabolism checked because I was…
  • Is the point of the thread to say that 1200 works for some, but not for others? Because that's totally true...But maybe I'm missing the point. I've lost a total of 115 pounds since 2009 in spurts (40 pounds hardcore for a couple of months, maintenance for a few months, 20 pounds for a couple, maintenance...so on). I'm…
