Wait, people do that? Lord knows I havent, ever!

I want to lose a 2 month old horse. Yeah that sounds perfect!

This is me almost perfectly, I started on the 7th, I was at 265 and am down to 242.9 so about 22 lbs down! I havent gone down a pant size (I'm pregnant though so my waistline is going away for sure!) but I've noticed it in other ways!

I think if you're gonna do it, do it now. I'm pregnant with my second and found out I was pregnant after starting my weight loss journey. Ive continued eating healthy and being more active and have actually lost 22 lbs while pregnant. It can be done, you're not dieting persay, you're just eating healthier and being more…

BTW as far as the disgestive issues, no one told me but really to be on Metformin you NEED to be on a lo-carb diet. Carbs are what really screws with that drug being as it is a diabetic drug. Try doing the lo-carb and hopefully it'll help ya.....I was on it for 6 months, lost 60 lbs but was horribly sick the whole time...

There's a group on here called PCOS Cysters Losing Together...you should join! I've had PCOS for probably 5+ years now...theres a ton of us on this site...

Bump.

LOVE IT! It's always a good joke, it was actually a final of mine in high school, to support the ban or not and why...

I don't eat candy or cookies, but am surprised that sugar is in just about EVERYTHING like my milk and cottage cheese so even if I'm not eating sweets, I'm eating sugar. I try and not drink too much juice and if I do, its usually just 8 oz for the day and its usually only 100% juice.

After telling my OB that I too was worried about MC she let me listen to the heartbeat extra long. I totally know what you're talking about life being so busy, I have a 13 yo SD and a 2 year old son, who has energy anymore? I'm pretty confident that I can maintain my weight loss this pregnancy bc I've been doing it for the…

I stole so many of those bc I wasn't about to ruin my own and the plastic sheet cover things, I took a lot of random things from the hospital I knew I'd use at home. Hell, who has modesty after having a baby?

Thats the one thing Ive noticed too in my weight loss, less back fat and I love that! I'm pregnant so Ive resolved for the time being my waistline is shot to hell!

I really don't have anything I can't give up, I just eat it in moderation and account for it in my calories. I LOVE root beer floats but instead of having a giant one I just do 3/4 a cup of reg ice cream and 1 cup of root beer and even though its still over 300 calories sometimes its nice to indulge when I've earned it. I…

My OB recommended doing yoga to strengthen my core after my baby. She said really anything that focuses on your core while doing it will work, she also suggested step aerobics.

I'm due Sept 13th, I'm 13W2D. I got to see the baby at 9W and heard the heartbeat on Wed. This will be my 2nd baby (a complete and total OOPS!) and since I've been watching my weight I've lost 20 lbs in the past 2 months. I honestly hope to slowly lose this pregnancy, my Dr doesnt want me to gain anymore than 10 lbs, if…

I chose the best of both worlds honestly. I pumped breastmilk and bottle fed it to my son, I'm pregnant again and honestly, don't even plan on breasfeeding...I'm gonna pump again and bottlefeed. You get all the benefits of breast milk but the ease and convenience of bottlefeeding. The only thing you really have to think…

Mine was when I weighed myself and I was the same weight I was when I was delivering my son, 265 and I wasn't pregnant. How depressing to be the same weight as I was when I was 9 months pregnant. I did not anticipate becoming pregnant again and DID not want to gain a whole bunch of weight this time around so with the…

I think this may have a lot to do with it, his ex wife cheated on him too but I dont know if my reassurance is enough for him. I'll bring up that in therapy as well. I know he'd like me to be the size I was when we met almost 10 years ago, I felt a lot better about myself back then too but I worry that maybe this is…

She believes as a society when it comes to weight we're too obsessed with numbers, how much we weigh, how many calories, the size of our clothes, etc etc....which I partially agree but if I dont know how many calories I'm eating or know how much I weigh I dont really have a clue in how to control my weight and my eating…

We're in therapy twice a month, knowing how anti-numbers our counselor is, he ratted me out to our therapist saying I was measuring food and counting all my calories, it took all I had not to lose it on him right then and there... I fully plan on confronting this issue in counseling on Tuesday so hopefully having a…

Sometimes I just repeat in my head what my family doctor said to me "Its going to be hard, its like a recovering alcoholic living with an alcoholic" and I just say to myself, he's a drunk! I know its not funny but sometimes I just try and make light of the situation to not get too upset, I just asked him to bring me home a…

1. Fresh Fruit (Banana, Apple, Grapes (~100 cals) 2. String Cheese (~80 cals) 3. Cottage Cheese w/ Pepper or Apple Sauce (~160 cals with the applesauce, w/o is around 100) I always try to have some fresh fruit during the day and some cheese, I love the two a lot!

My starting weight was 265 so I'd be thrilled if I could get to 175, I have a larger frame and am very top heavy so I think I'd look really odd at 135, Ive lost 15 lbs so I still have a ways to go but I haven't been at 175 since high school so I'd love to get to where I was 10 years ago.

Yeah I dont like that attitude either, I tried really hard to eat healthy last time and it just didn't last very long and I didn't gain too much weight but I didn't like my body after I gave birth either. I lost 40 lbs in 3 weeks, which a lot was from the baby but I also rarely ate because I was so busy. However after I…

Well I gave up for about a month and a half after losing 15 lbs but I'm trying to get back on track. I eat 3 meals a day and have two snacks and try and drink tons of water! I'm trying to stick around 1600 calories a day and not eat too much junk. I'm 5'6" and weigh 250 right now, and my OB said she only wants me to gain…

Its going to be that much harder if your husband isn't committed to also making a change, the way my doctor worded it is like a a recovering alcoholic living with someone who drinks all the time, that temptation will be there. I just had a heart to heart with my husband and explained to him what worried me about the way we…
