I am a Michigander, I grew up in a little town between flint and Owosso. Moved around a lot; swartz creek, grand blanc, Davison, Ithaca and back to parents house for a little bit.

my vice is brownies... absolutely love brownies Reuben and fries Gyro Ice cream or shakes (preferably chocolate)

I have one Doxie who is the best thing that ever happened to me. She is my baby. Alexis She was 1.5 yrs old when she was 7 weeks old

I have lost 28 since I had my stillborn son. I started exercising more and eating right in Nov. but stopped a little while moving and heading back to school then 5 lbs lost since Jan 9th and 7 inches in my waist and various inches around other areas like thighs. 3 more lbs until I meet my mini goal of 185 and then I will…

For 4 weeks I had a plateau and I started taking vitamins, cinnamon pills to help with my sugar and fish oil. I kept eating as healthy as I could and exercising but I also increased my calories. It sounds nuts but sometimes if you don't have enough calories to burn then you can plateau so I would just take a week and…

Hey there all. I am Devon. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 19 but I had it from the time I was 13. I have not many of the symptoms now since I had my stillborn son. I used to have all the symptoms but now I don't have many. I have regular periods every month and my hormones seem to be better except after my period then it…

I met my husband in 2005 I was 16 and he was 17, started dating Dec. 2 2005. 1 yr dating 1.5 yrs engaged. got married in 2008 3 months after my 18th birthday (he was 19). This May will be our 4 yr. anniversary. I am 22 and he will be almost 24. had 3 pregnancies, 2 miscarriages and 1 stillborn so still no children yet.

Is that before or after exercising per day?

I love the stair master 15 minutes on that and then a few laps around a track... helps do wonders. lost 7 inches in 5-6 weeks doing that. now I added zumba on the Wii and I am more active. I am also going to start adding weight lifting soon.

I have PCOS and mine is a really bad case. I tried metformin 500 and 1000mg and it didn't help at all. I also had tried 8 different types of BC and none of that worked either they told me it probably wouldn't help and to not use either. I recently had a stillborn and all the complications with that caused from my PCOS.…

I lost 3 lbs and 3.5 inches off my waist last month. I have hit a plateau but instead of feeling like giving up I just think to myself "inches are sometimes better then lbs." I also look down at my pants that are size 12 petite and they are almost falling off, one good tug on one leg and they come off. My Butt is toned and…

Well I lost 2 lbs since last week but still having pregnancy symptoms and no period since before I got pregnant last time. Wish I knew what was going on. Well not sure what I am doing since I am a newbie to the forums but I hope everyone is doing good.

Hey I am 4"11 and 195.2 lbs as of last Saturday and I have PCOS and was pregnant almost 8 weeks ago. We can take off this weight its just hard with PCOS but be strong.

Yeah it is really hard still since I lost him 7 weeks ago and my sister-in-law who was pregnant at the same time just had hers a few days ago. Everyone has been shoving her baby in my face so I just been depressed so its been pushing me to exercise a lot but I am really starting to feel muscular. I just want time to grieve…

Motivating myself is easier then I thought but also harder. Every time someone upsets me I make myself walk off the anger, frustration and sadness even if I am crying which is the easier part its the motivating myself in the morning that's hard. Anyone have any advice on morning motivation to get up and move.
