Internetting 101: Don't feed the trolls, my pretties :laugh: You nerds should know better. I'm ashamed of you all!! :brokenheart:

I am totally a nerd and totally okay with it. I suppose that's what happens when you're raised watching Star Wars with your dad and have a bunch of awesome like minded people in your life who encourage your fandoms :) I love playing MMOs and played WoW from day one. I now go back at every xpac and play for a bit before I…

Those 100 calorie packs of almonds only have 2 net carbs. You can have that with some baby bel cheese rounds and berries (berries usually have much lower carb values than most fruit, but check on how many you should have for your daily amount), and if you're particularly hungry throw in some sausage or turkey bacon. Soy…

I thought about getting the "No No" until I looked at reviews. Google it yourself, look at all of the reviews on amazon, etc. People say it doesn't work. Tweezing foreverrrr.

Low carb works wonderfully for people with PCOS and insulin resistence, and we're actually the best people for a low carb diet. I lost 50 pounds in about four months on a strick low carb diet. I was able to slowly switch to counting calories, but I still do best if I"m limiting my carb intake at least somewhat. Back for…

You have a lot of medical issues and should not be asking for advice here. Most of these people aren't medically trained and don't realize what you're dealing with and how these types of issues can inhibit weight loss. If you were perfectly healthy you would be losing loads of weight doing what you're doing, but you have…

I researched and planned and studied form and technique before I set food in the gym. I brought a literal list into the gym with me of what I was going to do along with reminders that I wrote out for myself if I was a little confused about form. I also brought a notebook and a pen to write down what I did, how much I…

It mostly comes down to genetics. There are other factors that contribute, like how long you have been overweight and your age and condition of your skin, etc... but really, it's all on your dna. Some people can have loose skin problems with a 40 pound weight loss, and some people look perfect after 100 pounds loss. Just…

My pet is on the border of healthy and underweight :( My vet has me supplementing her healthy dogfood with chicken to try to help her gain a bit. (She's 9 pounds, and for her length he would like to see her around 12 to 14. That's a lot of weight at those low numbers!!)

A juice fast doesn't have to be a bad thing! That being said, if your husband wants to do it for more than a few days at a time, he needs to talk to his doctor about it.

This is awesome! I'm totally going to do this.

If I were you, I would: 1. Exercise a bit more than you normally would. Even 50 to 100 extra calories burned would help offset a bit. 2. Concentrate on eating high nutrient foods the rest of the day. Your breakfast probably didn't have much of that ;) 3. Make sure you drink a ton of water to hopefully offset any water…

I have hypothyroidism, and one of my uncle's has Addison's. Feel free to add me :)

I've been lifting for almost a year, and I like looking and feeling strong. However, it's ridiculous to say that people that don't want my type of muscle definition are stupid or misinformed. Some people (women in particular) would rather be and look a little soft, even if that means they have a little more wiggle in their…

I like PB2, and don't eat fat free mayo. POINT DISPROVEN. PB2 is actually good, yo. Light beer is not!

Do you have PB2 available where you are? It's real peanut butter but in powder form, and 85% lower in calories. You add a bit of water and it's lovely, or you can add it to a protein shake.

I also have PCOS! Was diagnosed about six years ago. I also have hypothyroidism. I've been able to lose weight so far with just diet and exercise, and my levels are all great :) Feel free to add me!

Pretty before and prettier after! Congratulations on your success, lady! I'm proud of you and I don't even know you! :D

Have you considered gastric bypass? It might be the only way.

It's like the ponzi schemes of ineffective weight loss systems! You have to keep scamming other people to sign up to get the product for free or it's ridiculously expensive! And it's really not better than any other (much cheaper) protein shake out there. I did not try it. I will not try it. You can try it. I'll judge you…

I have PCOS, and am worried about how long it will take, or if I"ll even be able to get pregnant. All of my female cousins have had major issues with fertility :( I want to get as healthy as I possibly can to make it easier when the time comes. I've been married four years, and we plan on starting to try in a year or two.…

You should get Fitocracy! It's an app but also a great website. It's great for strength training. Doesn't count calories, but tracks workouts, etc. It's really fun. Use it with MFP, great combo :)

This diet has been around for at least 20 years, because I remember my mom doing it when I was a kid. It's pretty gross. It will only work if you have 10 pounds of water weight to lose. Because that's what you're losing. You'll gain it all back when you start to eat correctly again.

My two favorite websites for developing my routines: http://www.stumptuous.com/category/training/workout_ideas and http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html The first link has lots of different basic routines for you to start out with. I study what I'm doing before I go to the gym, sometimes even writing myself reminders of…

http://physicsdiet.com/ <--- This is an excellent website that does what you're talking about for you, with lots of bonus features in addition. Great for daily weighers, obviously :)

Well I'm in a different situation than you because I've been married for four years but I'll put my two cents in. Living with someone puts you in a different place. You no longer show up looking fabulous every time you see each other, you see the process of what you have to do to get to that fabulous point. If you're an…

Awesome job! Thank you for sharing your strory, I feel motivated to keep on with my journey! :D

When I'm really pushing myself to make gains, I sweat a lot when I'm doing weight training. But I also sweat a lot during cardio, so who knows. :)
