have you tried taking a kelp supplement and maybe a vogels thyroid support ( if your not on synthroid ) could help, i have also heard of people taking metformin for pcos and having good results

Bought Yesterday was pretty affordable compared to other supplements, it is just glucomannen ( which is a root that can swell to 500 times its size ) Its a fiber suppplement that is supposed to help you feel full so you naturally eat less. My bottle was 90 pills for about $10 walmart in canada. It is the main ingredient in…

I havent used skinny fiber.. might be willing to try it if it was cheap enough/free its just a fiber filler. I DO USE PGX , my doctor recommended it and it is also a fiber filler ( in an oil base to help keep you feel satieated ) and It does seemt to work for me at least to curb my sugar cravings!

I would have put you at moderate, unless you log our work with a heart rate monitor, and your work outs so you eat back the right num of calories, you don't want to eat below your bmr and slow your metabolism

AGREED- food like substances are starting to gross me out, working towards a more whole food/primal lifestyle.. Fat is not the devil... sugar is.. But for me... the shockers were, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, granola.

Im here, and really feeling the need for more community my wall used be full of stories and supports, lately its been dead quiet..

work out at home, I bought 10 min trainer, ( im sure you can burn it but im not all good with technology ) and that was my start, 10 min works outs i could fit in during the day and i noticed a major difference in my stamina after just a few weeks...

This is similar to mine!!! ( i didnt know you could ad the yogurt in advance so i made mine with water and then mixed in pumpkin butter and togurt in the morning )

I have some 3-5 min oats i am going to try soaking, i used 1 cup oats, 3tbs white chia ( salba ) and filled the rest of the quart jar with water- I plan on serving with pumpkin butter and greek yogurt, i hope they are good!

I dont know the ages of your kids, but i think it would be pretty devastating to miss out on something all your friends are doing, what tims is ZUMBA? can you jsut take them for like 20 min trick or treating and still make your class, if you limit the houses they go to it limits the candy they can bring in, also you can…

I do peanut butter and banana on whole wheat bread- smoothies ( just bought vega whole food- but have used pure pumkin seed protein and whey protein, and also made without added proteing ) always use chia with them, sometiems GNC maximum fruits powder - eggs on toast- oatmeal with fruit.. You can make eggs in the microwave…

just bought some, ( 3 of the 4 flavors- couldnt get berry - yet ) I heard its gross with water- I just had chocolate tonight, i used 1/2 a scoop with 1/2 a banana some ice and some water- it was palatable, no one i know uses the whole serving all at once- best to spread it out in your day- i know people who ad it to…

home work out dvd's- like ten minute trainer, or the biggest loser, work outs that mix strength with cardio- as you convert fat to muscle you will natually burn more calories.

I love asics, but i overpronate, so i need special support- im not a runner, i just need good quality shoes- i recommend going and trying som on at a local store or running room, finding the style and size that fits you best ( get model number if you can ) and then buying off amazon- you can save like half!

i do this- i just add a buttload of veggies to everything- full pot of spaghetti sauce, with only one pound of ground beef- 2 large onions, hald head of cabbage small diced, diced bell peppers, mushrooms, shredded carrots, diced zuccini, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, etc... It tates amazing, has great texture, and nocks…

Salads! meal salads! greek style salad with small diced, red onion, cucumber tomato bell peppers parsley and quinua seasoned with lemon juice or balsamic and low fat plain yogurt or curry salad: shredded carrots, sauteed onions, whatever veg you want really, with a curry yogurt dressing, some cranberries and walnuts make…

because even without eating any processed foods, or having sugar in my coffee, i was over the sugar amounts by lunch- EVERY DAY this is eating a balanced breakfast for example; oatmeal with banana and strawberry and chia, an apple and adams peanutbutter as a snack, vegetable curry with rice for lunch- MFP does not have a…

im feeling depressed, june 1st is in 11 weeks- and i would LOVE to be at or under 200, but 2 pounds a week seems far beyond my reach... is it a realistic goal or have i set my sights too high?:indifferent:

You got me there- i guess calories would mean that you would be logging it in the diary, rather then just counting as water?

ok so i never buy cool whip but this intrigues me i Love pumpkin...

also - delicious dessert- frozen banana's blended with silk chocolate soy milk! tastey treat- or frozen fruit, mashed into low cal yogurt is just like ice cream, the fruit almsot freezez the yogurt you can also freeze fat free pudding into low cal popsicles. i used to make fat free vanilla pudding and then blend with…

cool whip is an edible oil chemical laden product, i think i woudl just stick with ice cream and really watch serving size- you can have 1/4 cup chapmans cookies and cream for only 75 calories, and its really good, and satisfies my cravings!

If you are using a fruit tea, or decaf tea instead of a regular black tea, then yes you can count it as water, so long as you dont sweeten it with anything calorific!

The less weight you have to lose the slower it seems to come off, also inches are what matters most, you are likely transforming your body, and muscle weighs more then fat!

thats awesome, this has frustrated me a lot too, they dont really have anything accurate, for babywearing, or pushing a stroller, i think that walking brisk pace pushing a doubel ( 80 pound stroller ) has got to be pretty substantial- but the pushing stroller option was way way low on cal, so i just logged my speed. I wish…

Keep in mind that muscle weights more then fat, and also that water weight fluctuates a lot- its not unusual when starting a new work out to maintain, or even gain a little at first before your body levels off and starts to lose- if your losing .5 a week you are doing great! slow and steady losses are maintainable!

im sure its been said, but you wanna make sure your NET calories are never under 1200, so if you are eating 1600 and burning 1000, you need to eat another 600 to put you at net 1200- eat more, lose more- good luck~!

OMG... me too!

I lost 2 pounds in my first week using The biggest loser cardiomax/powersculp maximum, results program level one- and honestly wasnt eating the greatest.
