The answer lies in your question itself - before you were not exercising much, so with whatever little you were eating, it was enough consumption and deficit for that level of activity. Now you are exercising A LOT more, so you need A LOT more food too..Your TDEE has obviously increased, so your calorie consumption must…

From what I have read, GMO soy (genetically-modified types) should be avoided and most soy products available in the market are made from genetically modified soy beans, such products mess with your endocrine system, and hence they recommend not to have them. However, organic soy is a very good source of protein and is…

I've had PCOS since puberty and i'm 25 now. Used to get surprise periods once or twice a year. Now my doctor has put me on BCPs and I am atleast seeing some thing each month if not completely normally ! Most frustrating is that the weight loss is SOO SLOW !! Worst symptoms are excessive hair growth and a neck that is many…

I do the JM 30DS with 3 lbs weights, some exercises are easy but for some I really feel it ! I would say get yourself a 3 lbs and 5 lbs, for tougher ones use 5 and for easier ones use 3 lbs..

^^ THIS is the clear winner for me.. though I do like back and arms too ;)

8 years back, I started noticing growing amount of thick hairs on my chin and upper lip, and saw it spreading to my upper neck, sideburns and cheeks. Initially I was cutting them with scissors, when they grew more, I started threading them, then tweezing.. It used to take me almost 30 minutes each day for my hair removal…

I am losing weight but very very slowly compared to many others on the website. I think it is because of my PCOS. I lost about 18 pounds in 7 months, 14 of which were after joining MFP 5 months back. Major changes I have made in my diet since I decided to lose weight are to get rid of simple carbs (like white rice), eat…

Please join me too.. I do not know if you have got your 150 members yet, but I would definitely like to take part !

This is really something that you need to talk to your doctor about. Do not go by what people tell you randomly, take professional advice since it is a medical problem. I have PCOS too, which makes weighloss so much tougher ! Great that you have lost so many pounds, keep going !

I was on a 2 month plateau and could never figure out why the scale wasn't moving though I was doing everything right. The only thing that helped me get out of the plateau was increasing my calorie intake. I was eating 1200-1300 calories per day, then I read lot of forums and groups related to "eat more to weigh less" and…

My observations from a very quick look: - You seem to eat too little for breakfast and then eat a lot for dinners..do the reverse..your breakfast should be heavy and nutritious as you prepare to hit the day.. as and when you progress in the day, you can slowly reduce the calorie intake with dinner being the least (if…

It has been discovered that Yolk has a lot of good nutritious value and it is good to have yolks, but of course in moderation. So people do not throw away all the yolks ! Like a few in this post said, I suggest eating atleast 1 yolk out of 3 eggs, that way you do not get too much cholesterol but still manage to get the…

I badly need to do that !

I've been in a plateau too and am desperate to lose weight, so this thread has been very helpful..I will try the plateau method and see what happens..I already follow every other suggestion given here..

I do 30DS every alternate day instead of doing it everyday as I get extra sore.. After doing the Level 1 five times, I did both level 1 and level 2 consecutively, and I must say level 2 kills but I "saw" the level 3 too and i'm gonna be sooo sore..! If I lose weight, it is going to be worth it though ! Can't wait to get…

I want to join as well ! I have been doing 30DS alternative days but need the motivation and support to do it everyday..Please add me if you can offer support and advice !

Below are some of the snacks I have, I either have a combination of these or just one of them through a day: - Greek Yoghurt (non-fat, plain with fresh grapes) (non-fat fruit at the bottom) - Fruits: Strawberries (about 8-10), apple (1), banana (2), watermelon - Kashi oatmeal dark chocolate soft-baked cookies (about 1 or 2…

I weigh myself multiple times a day ! In fact, everytime I go to the bathroom :P LOL, it is a bit too much but its not because i'm obsessed with it.. It's more like a routine to just step on it everytime I see it. However the only one which really matters to me is the early morning one..I give myself a margin of additional…

What all did you do to lose 15 pounds in 6 weeks?

Fruits are actually good for us, they give us a lot of vitamins like vitamin A, C etc..Try to choose better fruits like blueberries, or other berries, water lemon (this is the best for weight loss!), apples, bananas are good too for our health but have them in moderation, like a banana a day, thats all..Mangoes are known…

I started 30 DS just yesterday and here is my feeling: I did elliptical in gym for 30 minutes and then did 30 DS and I was really satisified. Unless you are a total beginner to exercising, I think you can do both gym and 30 DS..
