I was able to fit into some "one size fits all" clothing.

Herbalife is a pyramid scheme /multi-level marketing scam.

I was on the same birth control I had always taken, and nothing else other than the spiro. The rapid hair loss stopped when I stopped taking the spiro, but my hair was already noticeably thinner by that time. The pharmacist can only tell you what typical symptoms of it are, but my experience was rapid hair loss. It may be…

So.... What's for breakfast?

soulcyster, I've been on birth control to help manage the symptoms since I was 15. I was also prescribed both spironolactone and Metformin, but the spiro made my hair fall out so I stopped taking it. Metformin is helpful if you have insulin resistance. Aside from the physical symptoms like excessive hair/weight gain, I…

Wait... HOLD THE PHONE! You're telling me... I can eat WHATEVER I want, as long as I eat zucchini dipped in glitter, and I will still lose weight?! I had no idea. My mind = blown. :P

Just because one woman said something doesn't mean she speaks for all other women at the gym. Just like you don't speak for all other women at the gym. There are a lot of women who lift these days. It's one thing to vent about one person, and another thing to blame one gender entirely. Rather than perpetuating stereotypes…

I'm 5'10", and I started off losing 5 lbs a month several months ago. Now my goal is 2lbs per week. That will change the closer to my goal weight I get. Right now I'm at a weight where I have health problems from the weight itself that exacerbate my medical conditions. Keeping the weight on longer could actually cause more…

Ha, awesome! But if it really does happen I guarantee I'd spend a year after release avoiding it for fear that it could be bad.

@whitespider360‌ My mother and I both have PCOS. She had always told me that she had "more testosterone than other women", but she was unaware of its existence until I was diagnosed, then she got checked.

I work with a doctor to help me with my diet for PCOS and I definitely recommend talking to one if you can afford it. I commented in another thread recently about PCOS, and I'll quote it here since it has links that you might find helpful: I just want to add that it's tough, but it's definitely possible and weight loss…

I'm 5'10" with a broad frame and busty. When I was young (~15) I weighed 185 lbs and did only cardio type exercise. I didn't like how I looked and I thought I was very squishy. Boyfriends thought I was fat, but I looked like a normal, healthy girl when I look back at old photos. I started lifting heavy and building muscle.…

I second this one. Alloy is great because they actually have trendy styles and tons of clearance/sales. But some of their jeans wear down quickly due to the thin fabric.

I've never had black bean soup, but I friggin love refried black beans. Maybe the refried beans ingredients I use can be turned into a type of soup: caramelized red onions, crispy bacon cut into bits, minced garlic, white pepper, black pepper, smoked chipotle powder, etc. You could add pureed tomatoes to your soup to give…

Just research the surgeon thoroughly beforehand, make sure that you have a good mind's eye for how the results will realistically look, and prepare for the downtime from work. I would consider joining a forum where you can see real before and after photos from people who actually had the procedure done, rather than the…

time traveler...

Kindergarten teacher. lol, that definitely wasn't at the person before me. I was aiming for @smalltown_princess‌ @Noelv1976‌ - Some kind of trucker/driver?

That's really funny. :P

Struggles: Shark week, went over calories every day.

I am a chronic partaker in other people's food, licking spoons, and free samples. If I didn't log it all, it'd add up to like 3,000 calories a week! Wednesday, "I'm just going to lick this spoon with 5g of mayonnaise on ittttttt...." Thursday, "Can I have a bite of your grilled cheese sandwich?" Friday, "Ooh! that sushi…

How about something more recent? You can eat anything and everything you want, and all you have do is sprinkle Sensa on it first! Then, magically, you'll lose weight - http://youtu.be/Jy2sHt4K2rk

Hey, I'm right there with you! I'm having some fierce cravings today... Then my boyfriend made 120+ gooey Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies with Reese's chips in them to bring to his job... And to top it off, he brought me one to "examine the done-ness", which I promptly grabbed and stuffed into my mouth like a starved…

Your body has the same metabolism regardless of when you eat throughout the day. Obviously some things are going to benefit you better than other things (like binge eating once a day might keep you feeling starved most of the time). So yeah, it's rubbish. Unless you're like me... Because I sleep walk, and I will raid the…

You've already made up your mind, but health comes from the inside. Even thin and attractive people will age badly and have terrible skin if they don't give their body a good range of nutrients. Hmm... Can you try to make fruit smoothies with veggies blended in? You wouldn't taste them and it's an alternative breakfast to…

The only thing that really matters is sticking with it. You are a success as long as you never give up.

Because I'm a robot.

@SideSteel‌ - Thank you. I've heard repeatedly "it's impossible, aside from some small newbie gains" so that was discouraging... I lost a decent chunk of muscle weight that I had from heavy weight training in the past. I want to build it back up but still lose weight, or my tears will floweth without end!

24, 5'10", 60 lbs left to lose. And I want to be as strong as an ox with chun li thighs and a bum that could kill a man. I'm not crazy I swear. lol. Anybody feel free to add me.
