I don't do my condiments- ketchup, mustard, relish, pickles, spices etc...I DO count my salad dressings, but nothing else as far as that goes

I have just been diagnosed with PCOS and I have about 100 pounds I need to lose. I've started Metformin as of Feb 20. I'm on 500 mg twice a day, although my OBGYN says I need to be on more (I was put on it by my primary dr.) It has helped me immensely in losing weight! My OB said after a couple cycles he will start me on…

I'm a 46 DDD and big boobs suck. button up shirts are a no-no- they pucker right at the boobs so everyone can peek in and see your business. I don't like turtle necks or high necked shirts- you look like you have a boobie shelf lol.

Welcome! We all do a great job at supporting one another; you'll find this out quick!

I have several motivations. First and foremost, my health; and not just my health for me, but health because my husband and I want to have a baby, and I am really overweight. Second on the health, if I don't lose weight in these next 6 months, I am being referred to a bariatric surgeon and at this point that seems almost…

Things will be fine babe! Just keep the the main reason you're eating healthy in the back of your brain and it will be ok. We want to lose a person between us, so let's stick to it! I love you :flowerforyou: :heart:

I'm at 288 lbs, so both the treadmill and MFP said I burned 323 (or so) calories. My heart rate was at 150-158.

Woo-hoo...lost 6 pounds! So I'll start now at 288. Hope to be 268 or less by X-mas!

Woo hoo I'll try it! I weigh myself tomorrow and from then I will start counting down 20 pounds :tongue:

Congratulations! Way to go :wink:

I had one of my mother's friends on facebook ask me WHY I weigh out my food, that I should count calories and she's a personal trainer yadda yadda she can give me advice on losing weight. Well half her message was spelled wrong, no punctuation, not to mention "MS. Personal Trainer"...how are you supposed to count calories…

I love those sparkling water drinks too- you can by them by the liter bottle in walmart or in the Dollar General, and they are like 2 for the price of 1 soda. Walmart has TONS of flavors- my two favorite are lemon, and Pineapple coconut (the pinapple coconut one tastes just like a virgin pina colada!)

See because I used to jump on them every day, and they'd never change, it bothered me. Even while doing Weight Watchers my scales at home never seemed to work, but sure enough when I had my big weigh in at the meeting I had dropped a couple pounds. So I get really frustrated. I was thinking of having hubby hide them from…

Haha I like that idea :happy:

Aww I love you too babe! I hope we can stick to it!

Wow I've been reading through all these posts (although I can see this topic has died), because my doctor has me on a 1500 calorie diet and in 6 months will refer me to a bariatric surgeon for gastric bypass. For those who say that its as easy as eat less burn more, I beg to differ. I am at 294 pounds, and I'm 5 ft 9 in. I…
