I was diagnosed about 3 years ago but I knew something was wrong since I was around 16. Feel free to add me, anyone!

Wisconsin ☺

im 5'3" and have around 100 lbs to lose! i've got 10 of those pounds off but still working hard. i have a "reward system" for myself: 25lbs lost :get a new tattoo 50lbs lost: get a new outfit 75lbs lost: get a new swimsuit (bikini, maybe?) 100lbs lost: Vacation with the hubs. im looking forward to that first 25!! good luck…

thats awesome!! what a great inspiration =) keep up all the amazing work

i hope you like it! it was so easy and i thought it had better flavor then regular ranch. we used the buttermilk packet.

to be more specific i meant let it *chill* for an hour in the fridge. =)

im always looking for new things to make. it depends on how big you are into cooking..but i take full advantage of the power of google. i'll even type something as simple as "healthy chicken recipe" and look until i find a recipe to my liking. Also, if you have a Pinterest there are TONS of recipes on there. i've made so…

i just finished my first 30DS workout. omg my legs. lol. good luck to you!

great advice from everyone. Thanks a ton!!

Thanks everyone. Definitely helps =)

i've got around 108lbs to lose. feel free to add me!! =) i could always use the extra support as well as dish it out!

talk about fate! i was just clicking on the community tab to do a search of PCOS and see if i can find some other friends with it. and BAM i didnt even have to search it was the first thing on the list. Feel free to add me =) i was just recently diagnosed (like a week ago) but i've always known something was wrong. my…

well i posted this forever ago but im a bit concerned again. i dont know why i was saying before that my heart rate monitor was telling me less then what the MFP calories burnt was telling me. its the opposite. like i wore my watch while walking laps and pushing my niece in a stroller (mind you she's 30 lbs) and for that…

wow congrats! you both look awesome =)

thanks for the advice. these are all really good points. my biggest problem is starting something, doing it for a day or two and then just giving up. i know i'll be able to do anything once i really commit to it =)

i heard 30 day shred was good. maybe i'll give that a shot first and if i can stick with that, then do insanity after im more used to exercising daily. Thanks for the advice everyone =)

i just got #5 on friday =) on my forearm it says: "It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

i think this might help. it helped me a lot when i was first starting out and had a lot of questions. (its kinda long, but well worth the read) hope it helps!! feel free to friend me if ya need more encouragement =) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/3047-700-calories-a-day-and-not-losing

i saw a new take on "chocolate covered strawberries" what you do is take greek yogurt (or any plain/vanilla flavored yogurt) and cover the strawberries, then freeze them until the yogurt is firm. sounds interesting to me. i might try it :)

hi!! im 5'3", 22 yrs old and my starting weight was 228. im down to 211. feel free to add me =)

i was wondering the same thing. i have a heart rate monitor watch that counts the calories i've burned so i'll wear that while im doing strength training to get an idea of the amount of calories burned even though it wont say on here. :)

Hi, im from good old WI =) good luck on reaching your goal. im in this for the long haul i've got about 100 lbs i wanna get off. feel free to add me as a friend.

i noticed MFP is really high in the calories it says burnt. I got a Sportline S7 Heart Rate Watch from walmart. it doesnt have the body strap i remember using those in school and i hated them lol. i feel pretty confident that the HRM is more accurate. =) and thanks i'll send ya a friend request.

Marie...i do like it..but at the same time its a pretty common middle name.

yeah i think that is what i was confused about. i was one of the people who was eating too few calories and then binge eating at night....so i've got a lot that needs to change but at least im on the right track now. just gotta work on eating MORE calories and not freak out if the scale goes up a little..cuz it WILL go…

im glad im not the only one confused. lol. but theres a lot of good advice here and i think i got it now :) i'll stick with my 1200 (cuz im already having trouble eating that much) and see how my body reacts my first week. thanks everyone! and feel free to add me as a friend if ya want :)

ok so i guess the main thing im wondering... my goal for calories is 1200, then i eat something..then work out and add in the calories i've burned (so say i burn 130 just for an example) and it adds it to my "remaining calories"..so that means i still have to try to eat as close as i can to the remaining calories for the…

I read the links (aside from the one you posted, of course) the other night and they really did help me a lot especially about not eating enough calories and still being overweight. that was def me. now that i read that link it definitely answers questions. Thank you!
