I am most likely going to stop somewhere in the 150s. I weighed 145 in college and looking back on those pictures, I looked anorexic (even though I thought I was overweight). My shrink thought I was anorexic, but I swear I wasn't...just lots of stress in those days from losing my dad. Another thought/note: I think it also…

I'm game!

I'm also pretty close to that. I'm 5'8", 190 and 34 years old. I set mine to sedentary as I have a desk job (graphic designer). I do work out on an incline trainer in the mornings (5-6 days / week). My calories are set to 1520 and I do eat back some of my exercise calories. When I first did this (1.5 years ago), I lost 20…

I don't use a weed barrier at all as I haven't had any success with it. I find that weeds grow anyway. I think it is due to the fact that there is always a layer of something on top of the barrier (mulch, dirt and dust that has blown in, etc.), which allows the weeds to grow anyway...unless they are actually poking through…

Good for you! That is wonderful news. Talk about motivation! I don't know you, but I am PROUD of you!!!

I do it every morning. However, I think you need to be able to put things in perspective and be real about it if you do it every single day. I don't expect the scale to budge every morning, but I do expect it to be within a pound or two of the day before. I think I do it every day because I don't ever want to let my weight…

I could not stand metformin. I had horrid pains in my abdomen, diarrhea, and other symptoms, so I quit taking it. I know it works for some people, but not for me. I am going to do everything I can to lose weight in order to let my body perhaps regulate itself. Another reason I do not like metformin is what my reproductive…

Suh-weet! That has got to be a fabulous feeling! Good job!!!

Hi! I am a fellow PCOSer and at my thinnest, I still had that pooch. At the time, I was so thin, my psychologist thought I was anorexic, so that gives you an idea. I wasn't and have never been anorexic. I did work for a flat stomach back then and never attained it. I would not be a bit surprised if this is just one of…

Feel free to add me. I love all of my friends from across the pond and miss them terribly. :happy:

QueenJenna, Metformin is actually a drug for helping in the treatment of diabetes. One reason many doctors prescribe it to those women with PCOS is that some studies have shown that it can help with weight loss. My doctor had me on metformin for a while to help with the weight loss and also because I want to get pregnant.…

Feel free to add me, if you like. That goes to anyone on this thread with PCOS. I was diagnosed last August while trying to get to the "bottom" of the reason I can't seem to get pregnant. Thus, I decided to try to lose weight to see if this will help with the PCOS and ovulation. I could use more friends that are in the…

Every move in pilates is based off of your core (tummy area), so, yes, it will work the tummy area. Just make sure you are doing the motions correctly so that you have the desired results. I absolutely love pilates as I've had success in the past with it. It makes you more flexible, improves posture, and is totally a…

How about sexy? I think kilts are really awesome, but the question is...are you going to where it "traditionally"? Nevermind, I don't need the answer to the last question...that would be TMI. ;-)

Highest Weight: 200 Current Weight: 193 Goal Weight: 145 Height: 5'8" Age: 33 I am doing this in order to increase the likelihood of getting pregnant and have a healthy baby since having a miscarriage last June. We've been trying for 2 years 9 months now. I have PCOS, my uterus is tilted and bicornuate. I think losing the…

I don't see anything wrong with reading the Brothers Grimm or the Bible. I do think that one must take the child's age into consideration, answer questions, and explain that these are the beginnings of the so-called fairy tales. Of course, I wouldn't be reading these stories to a three-year-old due to where they are…

Dancer the beautiful Rabbit.

I hope I don't reach my UGW before I get pregnant...that's what I'm hoping for. :happy:

I am really sorry for your loss. I, too, had a miscarriage (June 6, 2011). I have gained quite a bit of weight since then as well, but the weight gain plateaued a couple months ago. I don't have any answers, but I do know that the body is strange, indeed! Stress and grief can cause weight gain (as well as weight loss), so…

Our weight is done in classes, so I don't have a clue what I told them 5 years ago. LOL

Totally counts! LOL

Wow! It is so nice to know that I'm not alone out there. Thanks so much for all your kind words and thoughts. I've got tears in my eyes realizing that I'm really not alone and your stories have touched me. Feel free to add me as a friend and maybe we can be successful in motivating each other and having future pregnancies…

I log it, but only if I am continuously moving. For example, if I start picking up the house and I get sidetracked (i.e. the phone rings, or I stop to browse through the newspaper), I don't log it. I take heed of the time and keep moving. Sometimes this is the only "exercise" I get because of my busy schedule. I get up at…

I guess the thing that concerns me is that you say that on a good day you eat 1150 calories. We need to eat at least 1200 to keep our bodies from going into starvation mode. I think this may be why your results are slow in coming to fruition. I know that it can be hard to reach that goal, but it is a necessary thing or…

Sounds to me like you just want revenge because of your emotional attachment to him. You would screw up his life, his wife's life, and the child's life just so YOU could feel better. And if your are worried about your karma, enough damage has already been done to it by having this affair not once, not twice, but three…

I just want to say one thing about Chantix. While I know for a fact that it works for some people, others (like me) have horrible interactions with this drug. I took it for almost a week, and while I was really enjoying the vivd dreams I was experiencing and the fact that I wasn't smoking as much by the end of that week, I…
