whoa! Blew my mind!

i'm terrified of doorknobs ... yeah ... I once stood outside of my college building because I was too scared to attempt to use the doorknob and have it not open. I stood there for 40 minutes and missed my class... I've been locked into 3 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms.... I often don't lock/close the bathroom door when I'm using…

That's not embarrassing ... THAT'S EFFING AWESOME

I have a really hard time falling asleep without my husband... My dogs are a poor substitute... hahahaha. We have a going to sleep routine and it's ridiculous and I love it. When he's out of town I often get insomnia.

Have you tried measuring yourself instead of using the scale? Often times you'd be surprised. Big hugs. I haven't "lost" in 2 years but i keep plugging away at it because working out makes me feel good.

My food restrictions are mostly due to food allergies not just my PCOS/Yeast overgrowth. The low carb/low sugar is mostly for the yeast overgrowth not necessarily for the PCOS. I'm willing to do whatever to see some form of change in my body but I don't know where to start and as I said I got shot down a lot in previous…

I do twice a week as part of my strength training regiment. Although I can't do weighted squats because of my knees. Even with a trainer and proper form my knees get tweaked with too much weight when I squat.

Honestly, I'll take anything. If you have food suggestions i'll take it. Is my workout routine all wrong? Is there an alternative to running? Is there something else I can try? Is anyone else low-carb low-sugar and struggling with physical limitations? Any and all advice is welcomed.

I'm not offended at all I just put it in caps to make a point not to "yell." I know my main issue is I've stopped tracking, I promise to start doing it more. I'm flat footed and went through many months of therapy for my knee pain. The therapy/exercises/strengthening the muscles didn't help with the pain from running. The…

My workout routine is posted in my profile. I walk my dogs 30-40 minutes every morning monday through Friday, I do an hour of kickboxing and an hour of pilates Monday and Wednesday, I do strength training 30minutes-1hour Tuesday and Thursday/Friday. I do an hour of pilates Tuesday. Saturdays I do an hour of Pilates, an…

As mentioned, I said I would start tracking. Although my diet is very set due to my restrictions (unless I cheat which i end up paying for in doctor visits). I ALREADY KNOW TRACKING IS SOMETHING I NEED TO START DOING AGAIN. I have PCOS and an overproduction of yeast and I'm flat footed.

Yeah, Cake Reference and Moooojojojo!

When I still dated ladies I was all about the boobs. Boobs and Neck. That Whole area I guess I had the booty so I wanted the boobs.

Bwahahahaha Yes!

YES!!!! I love gnocchi but my medical restrictions make me limit my potatoes!!! So excited!

This dude knows what's up. Do what works for you. I drink diet every now and then because of medical issues I have to severely limit my sugar so I do what I can (I have splenda sometimes, oh nooooo). Bottom line: Listen to your body.

Amazing Story!!! I, too, have PCOS and have been told having a baby is going to be extremely difficult thank you for the inspiration.

How my Tutu (Grandmother) taught me: 1. Put the eggs in a pot (gently). 2. Add Hot Water. 3. Place egg filled pot on burners on high heat. 4. Once they are at a rolling boil, cover, turn off heat and forget. Works every time.

This! Just like we shouldn't compare ourselves to other people don't compare babies to each other what is wrong with you?

I live in Southern CA but have never seen just the sports bra. Not at my gym, not outside. I'm way too ick to attempt it myself plus i have a piercing that is way to obvious in a thin sports bra.

Your husband sounds like my husband. Can I ask what recipe you used? See for me I have to go low carb because my doctor told me to. So for all you people who love carbs, trust me, I do too, but sadly my body does not. When I got hit with the doctors orders to cut out carbs and sugar I cried and binged for like 3 days and…

I'd like the recipe for that hahahahahaha (Yeah, I know the recipe, I was joking)

I too hate a lot of veggies and leaned heavily on fruit. I'm also on a very frugal budget. What I've started doing to get more veggies in is throwing them in my salad. Snap peas, sweet peppers, celery covering them in oil/vinegar makes me not hate them so much and now I eat them solo sometimes or with hummus... Being…

THANK YOU!!!! For the links!

That is pretty amazing. Sometimes I feel like the internet s a black hole and one link can send you down another and before you know it several hours are gone and you've learned nothing.

She told me to keep my total carbs to less than 50g a day. She said I can have some fruits and veggies but need to limit them ... I'm in the process of getting a second opinion once I finish a round of medications she has me on.

Yeah I said I've been eating crap the last few days because I have no clue what to eat or where to even start or what to shop for. Thanks for the list of Yogurts. I'll have to see if I have any of them nearby I was buying the big container of plain, whole fat Greek Gods or something like that but I caved because I'm super…

Yes. I didn't have the full test run due to lack of $$$ but my doc said I'm probably allergic to a lot more than what's listed.

What brand Greek Yogurt do you use? every brand I seem to pick up has anywhere from 16+ grams of carbs :( Also, cooked they still mess me up good. I figure I'll stick to blueberries and strawberries, maybe ??

No. We're competitive and my husband has a list of health ailments that keep him out of the gym. The gym is my time. He has his D&D on Sundays with Satine Phoenix and I have My gym time. However, If he ever wanted to come I'd be happy to show him around but he doesn't like my pilates, kickboxing or spin classes so he can…
