YOU LOOK FABULOUS!!! Keep up all that hard work!

Mais I talk like dat cajun down da by-yoo! IF ANY OF YOU HAS SEEN CAJUN JUSTICE, please we're not all dumb *kitten* down here and more than half of our community doesn't even like the show! It's not all voodoo and travel by boat everywhere. Though the further south west you go from New Orleans the more authentic the cajun…

You can use a crock pot! When you get home for dinner time it'll be cooked. I used both of mine yesterday one for beans ans one for a whole chicken. By the time we got home around 6-7pm everything was cooked. :)

I very much agree with this. Though my situation is a bit different but the values and outlook are the same. My 1st marriage was not a very good one. So I agreed to follow tradition (I did put up a little fight and argument) and went for the arranged marriage. My brothers picked out a great one for me and we have 3 little…

My Mom & Dad took me to see Kiss when I was 5, then they took me to see Bad Company 3 nights later. She has kept every concert ticket stub, photo and t-shirt I have gotten since then (33 years of concerts). In 1988 I was a groupie for the summer with a few friends. Aug 29th, 1992 was my wedding day, we changed the time of…

Ohh If you guys want a nice upscale dinner night I suggest Antoine's very old New Orleans restaurant and the wait service is WOW EXCELLENT, their baked alaska is delicious! And the Carousel Bar at Hotel Monteleone on Royal St BE WARNED THAT NOLA IS A FOOD CITY!! lol

I use the MapMyRun app it calculates as running interval training so it averages out the walking and running by speed and time. I log it in as running (jogging), training, pushing wheelchair. The calorie burn for that is usually very close to the calorie burn the mapmyrun app has.

Cafe Du Monde is a must for begniets and coffee. Crescent City Brew House is a great place too. If you like jazz music Irvin Mayfield's Jazz Playhouse is wonderful If you like metal I suggest The Dungeon (one of my favorite places in the city) BEST BLOODY MARY is at Pat O'Briens And I also suggest Palace Cafe they have…

I'm taking adipex and almost done with my 3rd month of it. I did take a 3 week break from months 2 & 3 and didn't gain any weight. So far I've lost 19 pounds but it's more cause I didn't weight in yet and my clothes are a bigger since the last weight in. I follow the 1200 calorie diet that comes in the Adipex booklet,…

I have been on 1200 calories for 5 months now and lost weight. I am not starving and my usual log at the end of the day is net below 1200 calories as I do not eat back the calories I burn. I do drink water all day roughly 3 fills of my 32oz mug.

Thanks Everyone! I hope Y'all having a great day! For those of you who asked:: I'm on phentermine (Adipex) and following their 1200 calorie diet plan. For exercising I'm doing the c2-5k running program and on the non-running days I do Insanity taking only Sundays off and every other Saturday off. I do allow myself a cheat…

I do most of the household cleaning since I'm a SAHM and I say most cause I do not clean "the boy's bathroom", but he does ALL the cooking and grocery shopping and "the boy's bathroom"! I do not mind doing the majority of housework cause he's making all the money that allows me to stay home and raise our 4 boys. He does…

Great job!!! Keep up all that hard work!

AWESOME!! Congrats and keep up all that hard work!

Thanks Everyone! Sallyann123, My Dr and I discussed my weight and I was 185 for 5 years even through pregnancy with no gain or loss. So he gave me a script for Adipex and told me I had to follow the adipex 1200 calorie diet. I was already eating healthy foods but not calorie watching, walking and exercising so he told me…

I used Serif Photo Plusx4, it's a photo editing program that came with my system.

Thanks! PCOS for me was my biggest excuse also, then one day after my bp reached 168/125 I knew I had to do something. NO MORE EXCUSES!! Aclifford510 ,GOOD LUCK WITH #2!! We talked about a #5 but decided 4 boys were enough! lol

Thanks so much!

I have noticed my PCOS symptoms have lessened a lot since I lost 22 pounds. I'm still losing and so far what I noticed was that my hair stopped falling out, the male pattern hair growth is less, and my blood pressure is much lower. I have more energy and NO sugar cravings!! My cycles started to regulate at 34 days apart…

I'll have to find a pic of my wedding dress, though it was made by my mother in 1992!

I was on week 3 for almost 4 weeks! So it doesn't matter if you repeat a week or not. I'm hitting up W4D1 today! I have been to this point before, but had to go back to W3. NOT TODAY! GOOD LUCK!

I suffered from severe migraines for years. Only to find out that ANY AND ALL artificial sugars were the cause of it. I'd drink a diet coke only to get a migraine for days, put sweet and low or equal in my tea or coffee and migraine again. They got so bad, I had to get a shot of nubain to sleep off the migraine for 2 days.…

I'm on metformin and yes it does regulate hormones even though you do not have PCOS or a diabetic. The first time I was on it I lost 25 pounds. I do have PCOS along with Insulin Resistance so this medication is helping me with the weight by keeping my hormones regulated and preventing me from developing type 2 diabetes. My…

If you come to New Orleans in Oct we have the Voodoo Festival on Halloween weekend!!!! And well this city is wonderful!!! The weather is also pretty nice that time of year!! The further southwest you go from New Orleans the more authentic the Cajun culture and food is. So come on down the bayou and pass a good time!…

I have small ears as well and buds just don't fit, stay on, and hurt my ears. I have skull candy over the ear headphones. They work great! :)

thanks! The results were normal but had another this morning :( surgery scheduled for July 24th! No more babies for me. But it's ok, Hubby promised a puppy and new running shoes! LOL

Congrats on Week 3!!! Good Luck on Week4!!! I was dreading week 4, but it wasn't as bad as I had feared!!! I think week 3 was the worst for me! When I did Week 4 day 1 I was like that's it? LOL! You only run 4 times so I think that's what helped me the most. I have to restart week 3 now cause Dr had me stop for a couple…

WONDERFUL JOB!!!! Keep up all the hard work! It gives me inspiration! :)

South Louisiana (very south) 45miles SW of New Orleans, very Cajun country where the end of the road is a boat launch seriously! Houma is where I live.

Yes diagnosed PCOS with IR
