I have PCOS as well. The struggle is real...but it's not impossible. It just takes more work and dedication for us. I'm down 10 pounds and have another 50 to go.

Thank you for this post! I have PCOS as well and it is really hard to lose weight. I'm trying to cut back on carbs, but that is hard too! I'm determined to do it, though! I just started cutting out my normal morning toast and just have an omlette now. Sweets are still an issue....it sucks being addicted to something! I do…

If you want a treadmill, just look at the buy and sell sites. I see them on there all the time. I got mine from someone who was moving and paid about 20% of a new one...and this one is like new! As for equipment, everyday I use dumbbells, kettle bells, and treadmill.

You can add me. :) I agree with mharwell2229! Weight training is the bomb! I've been weight training for about 6 weeks now and, although I gained at first, the weight is starting to come off now. And I'm starting to look toned! It's awesome!

My favs arefFish, like salmon or cod. It's so good for you and so easy to cook. Pair it with some rice and veggies and you got a healthy meal. Just about any meal out there can be altered to be healthy. You just need to use your imagination. :)

Anything that gets you moving is good for you, in my opinion. :)

I'd like to join! I need to lose a total of 60 pounds. Of that 60 pounds, I already lost 11. I lift weights 3 times a week and do a 30 minute workout video every single day.

I'm working out every day and it's helping me. I scheduling it in every morning like it's a meeting and I don't miss it. Even when I'm feeling like I don't want to do it, I get into my workout clothes and turn a video on. Sometimes I tell myself that I'm just going to watch the video...but then I end up doing it. :) I…

I'm 37 and have two boys, 14 and 8. I lost most of my baby weight with the first, but with my second it seems like I lost nothing at all. It has really been a big challenge, especially since I was so tiny before I got pregnant the first time. I've been consistently working out and eating better for almost two weeks. Before…

Just saw this was an old thread so I edited my post!

I find exercise is really helping with my moods. I do a 30 minute exercise video every morning and it is really doing me well. As for the food...well...I have daily weak moments! I usually have a treat every day because, if not, I will eat everything in sight!

Oh, sweetie. I'm so sorry you and your daughter are going through this. Anorexia is a mental disorder so, remember, this is no more your fault than it is hers. She cannot help the way she feels, since she is sick and needs help for her illness. You are doing the right thing by taking her to the doctor. I hope the doctor…

You are so right! It seems like sugar is added to everything. I did give in and had cookies tonight. I'm fine with that. I was in a bad way and I was satisfied after two, so that's not bad considering I could give the cookie monster a run for his money! lol. Yeah...they are my weakness! Tomorrow is a new day. :)

I could use this group. I've just started the 21 day fix on Tuesday and was doing well with eating...until right now. I just want some sugar! My monthly friend came to visit today, so that could be a lot of my issue. By the way, I have about 50 pounds to lose.

This sounds great! I'm in!

I'm in! SW: 190 CW: 174 GW (for the end of the month): 169

WOW! That dress is gorgeous! I can't see how that WOULDN'T work!

Please add me too! My goal is to lose 5 pounds this month...but anything more than that would be awesome! My goal for this week is to EXERCISE! I have been doing pretty good with decreasing calories and losing from that...now I need to step in up.

I have been on a standstill for a few weeks and FINALLY the scale started moving!

NO! DO NOT THROW IN THE TOWEL!!! You have come too far and worked to hard to give up now! Don't quit! I promise you that if you keep working out and eat right most of the time (snacks are allowed in moderation!) you will see results soon! It may take a couple more weeks...it may take a month...but those pounds will come…

I didn't finish the whole workout either...and I have only tried it a few times.

HAHAHA!!! You made me seriously LOL on that one!!

EXACTLY!!!

My SIL has a child from a previous relationship but all of our family treats him the same as if he was blood related. He's my nephew and I'm his aunt. The grandparents treat him the same as the other kids.

This is exactly what I need! I have been finding my exercise mojo to be lacking this past week or so. Since the week is already a few days in, I will try the lowest amount...180 minutes! Week #1 ~~ February 27th ~~ Goal 180 miniutes Mon: N/A Tue: N/A Wed: 25 min of Zumba Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: 25/180
