Nothing helped my thinning hair. My testosterone levels were on the high end of normal, but not abnormal. I just shaved my head and started wearing a bonded hair piece. I got tired of looking in the mirror and feeling disgusting. I know that isn't the answer for most, but there are also hair fibers and sprays that can…

Yeah, screw her. I had a boot camp instructor like that once. They have issues, you don't. I hope you find a better class with a more compassionate instructor!

I don't know if it's really good for me or not, but I'm kind of in the same situation. I have a really long commute and need to be able to either eat on the way or something quick when I get to work. I eat an Adkins Advantage Protein Meal Bar. It keeps me satisfied for a few hours, it tastes good and it's low carb (net…

Good question!

Nashville, TN - Feel free to add me. I can always use more PCOS friendly friends!

Hi, I'll add you. I have PCOS as well. I HATE it, but I'm not trying to conceive. I gave it a "natural" go for about 6 months and quit.

Feel free to add me as well.

I'm currently struggling with this as well. I hate it. The good days are good, but the bad days are really bad. I'm currently having a bad day, so I don't have any advice, but feel free to ad me if you'd like.

I'm 30 and have already lost a bit, but trying to lose 20lbs more, but these last 20 have been very stubborn! Anyone feel free to add me so we can keep each other motivated!

Okay, the fit test was hard. I'm definitely not looking forward to the rest of it. I'm also horribly uncoordinated, which makes many of these things quite difficult for me, lol. My results are sad! Switch kicks-- 48 Power jacks--33 Power knee--75 Power jumps--26 Globe jumps-- 6 Suicide jumps-- 10 Push-up jacks-- 12 Low…

Congrats! You look so good, and SO much younger!

Are you eating at least a little protein before your workout? Try a small meal and let it settle before working out. I hate working out in the morning, but I'm trying to switch to mornings only. I find too many excuses in the evening and when I work out in the evening I find it difficult to sleep.

I'm starting it next week! I'm always a quitter when it gets tough, so it will be interesting to see if I stick to it. I'll add you!

I'm starting insanity next week. I'm TERRIFIED! Everything you listed just sounds painful and torturous. It looks like you started out strong, though! Keep up the good work!

I can't help because I have a similar problem. I've lost weight everywhere except my mid-section. It's SO frustrating.

I'm single and I have a hard time with this, too. I HATE going to the grocery store. I can't cook to save my life. I don't even know how to buy meat or vegetables. This is my biggest problem in losing weight. I've still managed to lose, but I admit, I eat a lot of fast food, I just try to make good choices when I do. I…

I try to stick to low carb and low GI foods. Feel free to add me!

Congratulations! You look amazing!

Congrats! What a transformation. You look amazing!

I'm the same way. It's not even really the taste of the food, it's the convenience. I work long hours and by the time I get on my way home, I'm exhausted and the last thing I want to do is cook. So, to the drive-thru I go. Sometimes I can control myself and order something reasonable, but the temptation is there and I do…

It can definitely make you irritated. I started taking it in April for about a month and I lost 10 lbs. I didn't really have any of the side effects except moderate thirst and irritability. It definitely makes you never want to eat again. I NEVER had the "high" everyone talks about. It actually had the opposite effect on…

You look great! Congratulations!

Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to seeing how you're doing in August.

Congratulations! You look amazing! Keep up the good work.

I, too, am in the same boat. I'm used to be 5'2 and 125/130 and now I'm 170. My goal is to be back to 125! Being short really makes every single pound show.

Wow, thanks everyone! You're all definitely very motivating. I'm going to take it one meal at a time and make small changes and not try to change everything overnight. I just hope I can stick with it!
