Insulin injections will NOT make you lose weight. I can't imagine why your doctor told you that. When I started insulin, I gained 15 lbs in the first month. My body was (with the insulin) processing the sugars the way it should be and wham-o... 15 lbs bigger. Now I'm off insulin and FINALLY the scale is starting to move…

I have PCOS too... feel free to add me. :)

This is by far my favorite answer of all!! Seriously, I'm going to second this one!!!! [/quote] Agreed!

I started at 309 and had about 140 lbs to lose. I'm down to 280 now... and still have 110 to go but I'm getting there. Feel free to add me if you want!

I don't think it sounds weird. It's one of my reasons too.... I've been pregnant several times, but miscarried every time. I'll be 40 next month and I want to have a baby... it's one of my primary motivations too. Good luck :)

I <3 my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer.... I use it ALL THE TIME! In case you weren't aware, it's GREAT for shredding chicken and pork too! Also my digital kitchen scale.... I weigh everything!!!

can someone school me adding images?!?!?

I am sitting here LMAO!

My middle name is Colleen, and it's what I've been called all my life. It's not really a matter of liking it or not, it is who I am.

LOVE it! Watched the video and you look great :) Congrats from one PCOS "cyster" to another!

I feel like a giant looking at you guys' heights. I'm 5'9" and currently weigh 281, down from 308... but I know I have a small frame. Here's a link to something that will help gauge your frame. http://knol.google.com/k/how-to-determine-body-frame-size#

So true! Good for you!!!! Keep it up!

My face... usually my boobs too but that has come a little later this time... weird.

Lord, I know exactly what you mean. My husband was measuring me and some weeks I'd be up in inches... even though I was down two sizes!! But he was never measuring the same place!!!!!! ARGH. I finally gave up the measuring... just have motivation clothes that I try on every so often to see if they fit. This morning was one…

I hate when that happens! Must be summer there!

Adorable baby!

I'm planning a celebration trip to Las Vegas with my best friend! :)

I have used just a little olive oil in the past but I think next time I make it I'm going to sweat it, using beef broth instead. I think that would be pretty good. :)

ME TOO! But I have so much more to lose I refuse to let my husband buy me a new one just yet...

This site and app have been the best thing ever for me... as well as the motivation I get from people who are going through the same trials and tests that I am. It's been awesome having this support system. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

Agreed! Games are never good. Here's a suggestion, for what it's worth. Ask her for 30 days, find the book The Love Dare and work through it. She doesn't have to or need to know you're working through it... just check it out. Just my $.02... and good luck, If you need to chat, I'm here. I've been there and we were able to…

Hi Emily! I'm from Chattanooga, TN, but I lived in MI for a while and we vacation in your beautiful area of the state every year! Feel free to add me, if you'd like. :)

I'll be 40 in February... feel free to add me. :)

mmm sushi sounds good. I've errands to run at lunch so I'm picking up a Subway club salad with fat free Italian dressing. :)

I'd love to be friends! Feel free to add me... I'm usually very supportive (except when I'm traveling and have no internet lol)

OMG I don't have any but I'd LOVE footie pajamas!!!! YES, please!
