Well, lately, I do find myself forgetting to add in that late night snack or I forget a couple of things. Sometimes I just guesstimate because its hard to tell what the exact calories are in something. At the same time, I also neglect adding in some of my exercise. These transgressions show on the scale, so it does more…

Not 100% intentionally. There are days when I have like 900 calories leftover and I'm full and can't eat anymore (my net calories are still usually 1200 and up) and that'll stay that way for a few days, but then occasionally, I will overeat a bit. I try to shrug it off and think of how many 'extra' calories I have leftover…

I started using Met purely for the weight loss benefits. It's helped me tremendously and I don't know where I'd be without it. Taking it also helped me to get a normal cycle (perhaps because of the weight loss it helped with?). I was able to conceive while casually taking metformin. It could prove to be very promising for…

When do you take your pills? A lot of women find that if they just wait until just before bed to take them, it helps them with any symptoms. Sorry I don't have any other suggestions. My symptoms were never that bad. Without trying, I lose 10lbs in a couple of weeks using Metformin. It's always been very good to me. When…

I am in South Jersey, but hopefully relocating back to London, UK soon :)

There are a lot of women with PCOS here. there are even two groups that I know about that are dedicated to women with PCOS. I was able to conceive naturally with my PCOS, but I do know how hard it can be. As for weight loss, I've lost just over 15lbs in 60 days :)

This is what I do and I still get some boob spillage, but not as bad as when I wear one or the other

It is weird, isn't it? All I can say is that I've lost nearly 14lbs and have only lost about half an inch around my hips and waist and that's it! Hopefully we both see some inches coming off, yeah? :)

I'm a single mom and I work out while DD is napping. When she is awake and the weather is decent, we go out for a walk. She doesn't always cooperate and sleep as long as she should (or I would like) and sometimes she resists the walk too. All I can suggest is to try different things and see what works for you and your…

No... I weigh a lot more than he does. By the time I reach my goal weight, he will still weight less than I. He's an inch taller than me, but naturally very, very thin. He likes bigger women though, even some a lot bigger than I am or ever was. Strange, but true.

Hmm.. I have all of those except for the feta (i JUST ran out) and lime juice... you really made me drool there! I am definitely making this for my dinner now. I wonder what everyone else is going to eat... lol

A friend tried it and I *kind of* did it with her. We experimented with the soup adding different flavors and using different types of cabbage. It's fun and yummy if you like cabbage (I do) but I wouldn't do it expecting to lose any weight long term

Oddly enough, I was hit on a lot while at a heavier size... by all types of men as well. I think the comment about being less intimidating might be true for me too lol

I am a fellow SAHM (well, I am technically a WAHM), please feel free to add me too! :)

I don't really mind diet ginger ale too much, but I don't really like to drink too much of it (a couple of times a month at most, usually less). I prefer sparkling water with some fresh fruits tossed in. :)

Metformin is my miracle drug and I swear by it. I am not insulin resistant, and I use it primarily for weight loss help. It made me sick the first few weeks, but not after that. I am not starving all the time, it makes me drink more water (a side effect can be dehydration). and I can lose weight so much more efficiently. I…

My mom got them for my for Christmas last year, so I feel like I have to wear them... anyway I only have Converses and sandals so I kind of also have to wear them. I would prefer something less bulky though. They are pretty comfy during my walks and during then, no one is looking at my feet so who cares. I'll get a proper…

I have PCOS and I've ALWAYS had a pregnant looking belly... even when I was a kid. From what I understand, fluffy cysters will always have a rounded belly unless they get it professionally fixed. Thin cysters tend to not have this problem though...

Oh yeah, it was a real eye opener once I realized that MFP was sometimes overestimating by over double what my HRM says. I was also not eating back my calories because I thought it was a bit high (otherwise I would have been losing so much weight before without MFP!!) The only time MFP is near what my HRM says is if, like…

Since having my baby I am between DD and E, so I don't think I will ever get to feel what you feel! I do like my size though... I would just want to get them lifted and rounded out a bit more.

I started at the end of Jan, on the 30th. I was at 250 and I am now at 238lbs.. I wish it was a bit more, but I am still happy with what I've accomplished so far.

I've recently started drinking the Slim Fast one for breakfast, but never on its own. Always with two glasses of water and something else. It would never be enough to keep me satisfied, and I just don't think its entirely healthy (no matter what the label says - for this brand anyway). I use it mostly because its so much…

I am a single WAHM... the only time I can get more than 30 minutes is when I take my DD out for a walk.. other than that, I am lucky if I can get 15-20 minutes. I make sure I am doing some serious working out during that time and I sure as hell log it! Just tell her to mind her own business and let you do what works for…

Pretzels and most other white breads and chocolate and cheese flavored snacks like Cheese-Its yummmmmmmmmmm

I was raised Catholic, but since I was very little, I learned quickly that I did not agree with most of their beliefs. I did get confirmed even though I did not want to and even told my family and my church that. They told me to just do it anyway. I follow a more Agnostic belief system. My daughter's father is Russian…

You can do it! (honestly!)This: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-antifungal-diet.htm is pretty much all I know about the diet (yes, I did write that article) So all I can really suggest is to maybe ask your Dr about more advice on keeping up with the diet in a healty manner while still trying to lose the weight. Maybe he…

I can only do that on a treadmill. I once tried to read a short note while walking and ran into a parked car! That's a really good idea actually... I may try that because I can also pump at the same time (talk about multitasking!)

I agree, get a HRM... it turned out that MFP was estimating over DOUBLE the amount of calories I was actually burning! (thankfully, I wasn't eating them back because I suspected this very thing)

I started drinking only water. I don't really have a problem with drinking water though (especially since I hate hot drinks) When I don't want water, I find sparkling water with lemon or some other freshly squeezed juice is more than enough to satisfy me. At home, my big glasses hold 16oz or two cups so I fill it up and…

I've always been overweight.. it was actually pretty traumatic for me as a child.. my parents always deep friend everything and practically lived at McDonald's... my dad would complain that I needed to be put on a diet, but they still bought junk food all the time. It didn't help that all the women on my father's side are…
