Hi! Fellow PCOS-er, also with 100+ to lose here, would love to have you as a friend. :-)

Thanks!

Fair point!

THIS. I'm still a fatty, but I'll gladly give my friends workout and/or nutritional advice if they ask for it. Maybe this nutritionist has made some recent lifestyle changes herself and is sharing her knowledge now. Conversely, there are many people who believe that you CAN be a bit "chubby" and still be healthy -- if…

Looks pretty legit to me... who WOULDN'T want one?

Name: Katie Hubby/Partner: Frank How many kids do you have: 2 kitties, but they are being downgraded to "pets" status Due Date: February 11, 2013 How far along are you: 5 weeks, 3 days Do you know the gender: Not sure yet! Babies Name: No idea, but we need a good nickname for the time being! Where do you live (if you want…

Hi ladies! Just found out I am expecting as well, I will be due in early February! I have lost over 50 lbs with MFP since January, but I still have about 100 lbs to lose. Obviously that will take a bit longer than anticipated, LOL. Plan is to up my caloric intake a little bit but continue to eat well and exercise and…

Potatoes aren't really veggies -- they're a starch! Remember that when logging food/counting vegetables. :-) What does he say about sweet potatoes? The general consensus is that those are more healthful than white potatoes.

Simply beautiful!

*Bump* what everyone else said so far. Binge eating is no different than other eating disorders -- hopefully you will seek help from a professional! Admitting you have a problem is a big part of the battle, you're on the right track!

Congrats on your loss, Jose! You sound like just the type of person I need around to help keep me going. :smile:

Thanks so much! I love reading through the success stories myself, they give me so much inspiration, especially when I feel I am struggling. When I hit 50 lbs, I thought it would be a good time to share one of my own. :heart: I really appreciate all of the positive feedback. People on this site are so helpful, friendly,…

Holy cow that is long. My apologies. It's Mass Spectral data. :-)

I bought it but haven't started reading yet. I heard Alexander Skarsgard might play the lead in the movie, which has just been green-lit. *Drooling* Alexander Skarsgard. Mmmmmmm... good thing a new season of True Blood starts soon! Now I need an Eric fix!

LOVE THIS!

Bread makes you FAT?!?

No, you don't cook the oatmeal by heating it. It gets soft because it absorbs the moisture from the milk and yogurt. :smile:

OMG I LOVE this. I've been eating for a few weeks now and it is so easy and healthful! My fave addition: a tablespoon of organic, no sugar added raspberry syrup and fresh raspberries. Also good: local honey or a bit of maple syrup and blueberries. :-)

This. LOL.

If my so did that, I would dump them because clearly they are an *kitten* who cares more about my size than about ME. If my co-worker told me something like that I would tell them what I thought about it. It is horrible. So sad.

I think it also depends on how hard you work when you're cleaning AND what you set your activity level to when you signed up. If your calorie goal is based on being sedentary, then log everything!

I used to swim competitively and would go to the pool during regular hours to swim laps from time to time. I just shared a lane with the other people swimming (if there are more than 2 or 3 people in a lane it can get weird if you're swimming at different paces, but normally there are only a couple of people there) -- and…

I laugh a lot, but hubby and I went to see Norm MacDonald do stand up and I laughed so hard I cried. He was just as ADD as I am and constantly kept switching subjects and I just found him HILARIOUS.

If I could share my 2 cents? Please don't attack, I am being COMPLETELY honest and trying to shed some light on what's going on with that... As an overweight/obese woman, I've found that because of MY OWN INSECURITIES with my body, I am much more likely to be judgmental of other people's bodies. I have a theory that the…

I'm sorry to say that your pain gave me a good laugh. I would NEVER make hubby go to Zumba (or any other class, for that matter) with me!

Me too, but it was really hard to "give up" when I first started. Feel 1,000,000 x better now, though!

Pittsburgh rocks.

I love me some steak. But I think most days I eat chicken, lean pork, or fish. Ooooooooo, marinated pork tenderloin and grilled veggies. YUM!

Not to mention that artificial sweeteners trick your body into thinking it's getting sugar and then when it doesn't get any it can go a little haywire! Some people also believe it stimulates your hunger hormone. Better to avoid them if you can.
