Bump!

I love making a "pizza chicken." Pound the chicken pretty thin and then cook it in the pan just long enough to brown it, put it on a cookie sheet and top it with pizza stuff, onions, mushrooms, turkey pepperoni, low fat white or red sauce, all that kind of stuff and a little bit of cheese and cook it until the cheese is…

I have been put on a specifically low carb diet for PCOS and my doctor told me to aim for three fourty-five carb meals and two to three fifteen carb snacks in between. She told me that if I go much lower than that, it's like having too few calories, and will have an opposite reaction. I think that if you start having a few…

Thanks for so much great advice. The problem with the low gluten diets is that I am supposed to be focusing on carbs, and I have found that low gluten usually means just as many carbs as regular food. I have been told to have fourty-five carb meals with two to three fifteen carb snacks, and I work really hard to make sure…

Hey! Good for you for getting your life under control, you've definitely come to the right place to do it. Feel free to add me, I'm not a professional, but I'm working hard with the help of some great people on here making it less difficult.

Hey! I've been doing low carb for about six months and I'm not going to lie, its not easy, but it has been the most success I've ever had with a diet. My first tip would probobaly be to not be afraid of vegetables. They are high in carbs, after a while, it becomes pretty easy to work them in. You just have to realize that…

I would eat organic if I had the money and patience for it, but as it stands its just too big of a hassle. I try to buy organic or non-processed as much as I can, but I'm not one of those people who sees it as the only healthy option. Its hard enough to find food that goes with other dietary restrictions, and would go…

Meat and cheese are reasonable for low carb. I ask this question and, as usual, the wonderful people on here answered. check out this website (http://genaw.com/lowcarb/recipes.html) It seriously made my life so much easier. Its really extreme, but it gives some great ideas about what to do and where to start when counting…

I'm on low carbs! I have PCOS, so its really tho only thing that works or has ever worked for me. I tried (unsuccessfully) to lose weight for so long and then when I found out about the PCOS, it all just clicked. I've been doing it for almost five months, and although I hate it, I love the results I'm getting from it. You…

Oh my gosh I can't even imagine :noway: ! I'm on a carb focused diet too, but I can have fourty-five each meal and fifteen for two snacks a day and its plenty hard! I hope your roommate is doing something that was suggested by a doctor, because that sounds SO unhealthy to be something to just decide to do on your own.

I do that all the time! My tv is almost constantly on the Food Network since I started dieting. I don't know what it is. Maybe its like a therapy, you can see the food, but you cannot have it. I'm glad someone else out there does that, because my mom thinks I'm nuts :laugh:

Its really easy and a great place to come and get support. Whether you are feeling like you need some extra motivation or just want some people who will encourage you everyday, this is the place.

I love this! I really believe that if we can accept that things will happen, its a lot easer to be honest with one another. :flowerforyou:

I have over a hundred pounds to lose, and I would love to be your friend :smile: Feel free to add me.

I decided when I started that I was going to take one day off a month, like holidays, birthdays, etc. I don't know, but I think that it keeps me sane and honestly makes this more realistic. If you just say, "Okay here is my diet, and I'm never going to stray" you will never stick to it. I would say just don't stress about…

First of all, very cool idea. Second, I would try to start with just some little arm workouts. Invest in some little weights and just start doing reps of stuff. Up and down over your head, arms straight out, stuff like that. Also you could do pushups, sit ups, crunches, really anything that you dictate the amount of would…

Done!

Support and friend really are key to long-term success on here. Add me if you like, I'm pretty sure I'm not a creep...:tongue:

I totally suck at making friends too. When I first joined this site I was so worried that I would be that sad girl with no friends who just posts on her own status :tongue: but I found out that there are a ton of people on here that will add you and give you great support. Add me if you want me in your support system!

Check 123, this is a test

Okay I know this is going to sound really weird, but I found a recipe for a chicken pizza that is low carb and low calories. so it's not really pizza, but I swear it tastes so good and it can really take away the craving for pizza. You just pound a chicken thigh as flat and as thin as you can (until your hands are…

As a person with very low self-esteem, I totally understand this. You are lucky that it’s just a phase thing for you, and because you said it’s normally very high, I think you just have to focus even harder on what you want, and hopefully you will eventually be out of your slump. Sometimes you have to take things in…

Oh that's just not nice! :grumble:

I love your enthusiasm! You can’t be successful in changing your life if you don’t find what works for you, and if that means celebrating the little stuff, more power to you. Congratulations on your victory! :flowerforyou:

I'm the kind of person who says "oh I messed up, I'll just start tomorrow" so I understand this problem. It can be hard to convince yourself that one day doesn't make your whole week. I think the only thing you can do is just accept when you slip up, and not use it as an excuse to give up. That's the best advice I can give…

This is a great place to be. Welcome to the site!

When I went to my doctor, she said "You have PCOS, limit your carbs, have a nice day." I got very little information and since I was a little shocked by the words polycystic, I was stupid and didn't ask enough questions. As I said, I don't have insurance so I don't really have another resource. Plus, when I've had trouble…

If support is what you need this is definately the right place for you. I need CONSTANT positive comments, so having people on here that are so willing to provide that is truely a great thing. I just joined a few days ago and already I feel so welcomed. The food diary is like my new favorite thing ever =). Its so easy to…

Hey I just started a few days ago. Welcome! I am already so addicted to this site. Averyone is SO supportive and its really a great thing to be a part of. Send me a friend request and we can be newbies together =)
