I got the Fitbit Zip for Christmas and it's been one of the biggest motivators for me to get off my butt and get moving. For me, right now this inexpensive pedometer is perfect, but in the future I may want/need to upgrade to a more techy heart rate monitor. It's all personal preference and what you want it to do. My syncs…

Wow, you look amazing! Thanks for posting this as it's a great motivator for me. :smile:

Hi, I'm Kelly, wife and mother of two daughters, and I work full time. I have been logging on MFP consistently for 385 days as of today and was doing really well with 27lbs. lost until September when I fell off track with eating and stopped working out. I've gained all but 9lbs. back since September and need to find my way…

I ate and logged all of the Halloween candy I ate, went over calarie goal, but not as bad as it has been in past years. I was hoping to resist the temptation, but the small Charleston Chew bars kept calling my name. Today is a new day and month....trying to pick myself and get myself back on track.

I have been on Metformin (1,000 mg 2x day) for about 11 years now due to PCOS. The first year I lost a bunch of weight taking it because I had the same side effects as you, and lets just say my stomach and colon hated me for taking it. I felt horrible everyday, but I kept taking it hoping it would help my PCOS and to get…

I just sent you a message and friend request.

We use ours most mights of the week, even for chicken. It cooks food so fast and can dry it out pretty quickly, so you have to keep an eye on what your cooking and/or set a timer. I cut check breasts super thin and cook for about 3 minutes per side and it's still pretty moist, but not undercooked. I spray it with Trader…

You are quite the inspiration! Great job! You look amazing!

I only began running on the treadmill at the gym back in January/February of this year and have worked myself up to 2 miles at 5.2-5.5 MPH. I didn't use the couch to 5k app, but did start with 2 minute intervals of walking and running until I was able to run 10 minutes without stopping. I signed up for my first 5k that is…

I have PCOS, diagnosed 12+ years ago. Went on an off having a period, no period and on and off different BC for a few years. After getting married in 2001 I never went back on BC because of wanting to start a family. In 2011, after having my daughter, I started taking Kavira BC pill, but I never got a period with it, so my…

I love the baked eggs in half of an avocado with ground pepper and a tiny sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese. I'm going to have to try to replace the mayo with avocado the next time I make tuna or egg salad. Sounds so yummy!

You are awesome, beautiful and inspiring! Thanks for sharing your story.
