I moved from Maryland to Southern Virginia....Oh, how I miss steamed crabs and crabcakes, sorry, have yet to find decent seafood in Virginia. I miss the custard filled eclairs, Rita's Italian Ice and Pizza John's.

I went to the hospital with chest pains in January, turned out to be anxiety. The doctor came into my room and looked at me and said, "You are fat, so with that being said, what are you going to do about it?'

"You are far too smart to be the only thing standing in your way."

I know in my heart that it has everything to do with control. I am the youngest of 4. My brother died at 32. Being the youngest, everyone always felt that they had perogative to control me. I personally think that me gaining control of my life and taking their control away, "Freaks them out." I refuse to give up on me.…

Thank you all for the response! This is my exact reason for coming here, the support. I log on without anyones knowledge because they say that MFP aides in my weightloss obsession. It is primarily my husband that is against it, with negative comments from my sister and inlaws. I have an amazing little boy that I wanna see…

I am a mom as well...2 years later and the weight is still haunting me!!

I have been ridiculed while doing cardio in my own neighborhood. I use to let it stop me, but I have learned how to try to ignore it. Hey, atleast I am out there doing something about it.

I have to agree with Beth....I did not give anything up completely. I eat it within moderation. When it come to ice cream, my nemesis, I eat 1 serving of a half of cup. Chocolate, when I want any, I will eat a miniature. As for breads, I have went over to Natures Own Whole Wheat Sugar Free and I eat flat breads with whole…

I have never had a drink!

I had the same question and asked those on my friends list their opinion. It was mixed feelings. I personally do not log it. I can admit, my first week here I did log it a time or two because I was unsure. I have a two year old toddler who is extremely active, and I am OCD when it comes to cleaning. WOW....I could only…

I would love an invite!!

I am always open for more motivation!! I will do by best in return!!

With PCOS it is advised to eliminate white carbs, such as, bread potatoes and rice. Limit your consumption of any and all sweets. I did not give it up, I just strictly limit the quantities. You definately want to increase your veggie and lean protein intake. It works....I have a 2 year old little boy as proof!!! Good…

Mine is not necessarily a number....but to feel comfortable and confident enough to have our first family picture taken.

I can completely relate to what you are saying. There is no doubt in my mind that my husband loves me, but, I think that he prefers me overweight and with low self esteem. He, as well, will bring home all of my favorites and think that he is doing a good thing. When I bring it to his attention, his response, "Just have a…

I am on everyday as well. Please, feel free to add me. The more encouragement the better!!

Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland....Moved to Southwest, Virginia 2 years ago to give my son a better life :happy:

I too suffer from PCOS....please do not give up hope!! Just like others, I was told to accept the fact that I would probably not be a Mommy, and now I am spending my days chasing my little man!!

I have to agree with a lot of the ladies here....Keep exercising!! I too took a peek at your diary as well....Your sodium intake looks as though it may be the culprit. You may notice that after minimizing your sodium intake....the water weight will be off in no time. Hang in there, it will be worth it in the end!!
