If it makes you feel any better, here in Southern California we just had a winter storm... and it was terrible! 2 days of rain and now the sun is peeking out but it is freezing (about 60 degrees). =P I guess no matter where you are....there will always be something to complain about.

My go to snack is usually hummus with carrots and/or cucumbers. So refreshing seems to curb my savory cravings. Also, a nice non-fat greek yogurt with some berries or a touch of honey for when I am craving something sweeter.

Wow, congrats on your progress. You look great!

Check out the fun bags on that hose hound.... Yeah, he must work out. :wink:

Frozen Garlic Naan is TO DIE FOR! Polenta Provencale with spinach and peas (also frozen) Butternut Squash Gratin with Creamed Spinach Gratin I could literally eat these 3 things every day for the rest of my life.

Where do I sign up? :flowerforyou:

^^^ love this..:laugh: I don't know you but I think I love you. lol

I have the Mirena IUD and I love it. I did not have a cycle for a looooooong time before getting on it. My doc said it is great because you get progesterone but don't necessarily have to have a monthy cylce. Since I have been on it I now have a regular cycle. I haven't noticed any side effects. Only thing is it took me…

Someone posted a thread a few days ago saying that Spearmint tea helps with the hair. I have looked into it and found a lot of PCOS sites and people with excessive hair in general raving about it. I bought some so I can try it out as well. Maybe you should look into it.

I haven't tried the hair/skin/nail vitamins. To be honest I have been oily for as long as I remembered so I never realized that was a PCOS symptom. I just assumed I had oily skin and I had to deal with it. The fall out has been significant since I had my son 5 years ago....but everyone would tell me that happens after you…

Do you think this would work for me too? I don't have any itchiness but my scalp is VERY oily and I have been experience significant fall out from my hair.

Thanks for the tip! I will have to try the spearmint tea. Hopefully it works for me as I feel like my hirsutism is the worst ever!

I've never heard of this but I am interested in trying it out. Is Napa Valley Nutritionals the only place that sells it?

Congrats! Very inspirational.

Tandori Chicken or Saag Paneer I imagine shouldn't be too bad . Just steer clear of naan and rice. But I definitely think you should just eat what you'd like (without over-doing it of course). It's ok to treat yourself every once in a while.

I usually hate Kraft's dressings but I am in love with the Kraft Toasted Sesame Lite Anything Dressing. So yummy and only 50 cals /2tbsp

You can do this! I am 30 and have PCOS also. When I first started MFP I thought I wasn't going to get anywhere but I lost 30 lbs fairly easily and now I am out to lose 30 more and I will be at a place where I am satisfied. Take baby steps. Log EVERYTHING! Even if it is a Big Mac that you know you should not be having. But…

Those look really tasty and easy. I'll have to try it. Thanks for sharing.

Wow you look great. Congrats. I hope I am as lucky as you in the excess skin dept when I hit my goal weight.

^^ I totally agree. You can make eating healthy not be expensive. It's about shopping smart. I buy most of my fruits and veggies frozen-they last longer and are always ready when I need them. Chicken and fish is a great protein and fairly cheap. We are not "lying thru our teeth." We pay attention to what we buy. Spinach,…

^^ oh wow, the brownie/black bean mix just made me sick just thinking about it. You are brave!

^^ congrats, you look great! I'm going to send you a request. You're an inspiration...

you ARE swesome and I AM awesome and you ARE hilarious...sold. :happy:

you took the words right out of my mouth! =)

I make sure I am eating something about every 2 hours. Breakfast at 8, snack at 10, lunch 12, snack 2 and then I have a gap until my dinner. I try and stick with a fruit or veggie and some hummus for my snacks and either oatmeal or toast with peanut butter/fruit for breakfast. Typically my snacks are about 200 cals, my…

You look great! I agree 119 may look a lil too thin for you but if you can get there go for it. I will add you for encouragement as we are similar height/goal. Good luck on the rest of your journey.:wink:

I eat between 1200-1500 a day and I am always snacking. Never hungry. I eat brakfast-snack-lunch-snack-dinner. I eat about every 2 hours except longer between my last snack and dinner. If i excercise I have another snack before/after dinner. I also drink plenty of water. It really depends on what you are eating that makes…

A nice juicy burger. I never met a burger I didn't like. :wink:
