It looks like it CAN, actually..... Why does polycystic ovary syndrome cause weight gain? PCOS makes it more difficult for the body to use the hormone insulin, which normally helps convert sugars and starches from foods into energy. This condition -- called insulin resistance -- can cause insulin and sugar -- glucose -- to…

Yup! I used to drink 4-5 cans of Diet Pepsi a day....sometimes even before noon. I never over ate because of the pop, but I can tell you that once I stopped drinking pop altogether, diet or otherwise, I started losing the weight.

LOL....helps to read and understand the fine print, eh??

I actually get a perverse pleasure out of logging my food! Lol. I think once you try doing it a few days, you might too! Give it a shot. It can't hurt anything, and if you still don't want to do it, or think it's too much effort, then you can stop. It's only "hard" because you probably, mentally, don't WANT to know how…

2 weeks, although I do tend to get a bit antsy after a week or so....

Lol....That's the only reason I came in the thread, as well!! :D

Lol...I was thinking the same thing!

What??? Give up alcohol you say??? No way in H. E. double hockey sticks would I give up my beer or vodka!!! :D I just make sure it fits into my calories for the day. (Insert emoticon lifting a beer glass HERE....since I can't FIND the old emoticons anymore..... :# ) Edited to add: If you give up alcohol and don't plan on…

Well, I think you got what you came for, then. You've heard MANY different perspectives. Most of which stating that it would be rude to say anything. I can assure you, when I lost all the weight and then gained it all back and then some, I was FULLY aware. And, someone bringing my attention to it would have really made me…

This response is perfect. Take it and run with it, OP.

LMAO.....I've not seen this one before! TOO fricken funny! :laugh:

Ok. That makes better sense. Thank you for the clarification!!! :flowerforyou:

It's never over 7000 calories?!?!?!?! In one day? Wow, you cheat HARD, my dear. I would knock that off, and see how things go...

^^ Agree. I don't get why people get their panties in a wad when someone gives GOOD advice to a question that THEY posted in the forums?!?!?! Don't post if you don't have the ability to hear things you don't want to hear. Ask your FL. I'm sure they'll tell you EXACTLY what you'd like to hear. And you'll stay the same…

LOL....my thoughts exactly!! Holy schnikes! :noway: :drinker:

*slow clap* Bravo!

Says the woman who lost 2 lbs since May. (Sorry...it made me laugh. I'm a bad person. :devil: )

Probably best. You seem to have a difficult time sifting through the comments without getting defensive. That, to me, means you should just stick to asking your FL, which should be full of people who will just tell you EXACTLY what you want to hear!! :drinker:

I'm totally in your shoes. It is almost more difficult the second (third, fourth... ;) time around, because of the self deprecation we put ourselves through over having gained it back. Every time I have lost the weight, something comes along. ("Life" , as we call it. ;) And, I have decided that I have to stop making…

LOL...nice one!

Honestly, I think it's kind've gross.... But, if I had someone I really cared about and he had back hair, I wouldn't NOT like him just because of it.

Is it sad that, after all of that, I'm MOST curious about the yellow underwear and the cat....

WINNER!!!!! :)

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: LOVE this!!!

Just sayin'

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Saw this one posted the other day and it freaked ME out a bit....
