I have PCOS did the internal ultrasound. The best itself wasn't all that bad. My OBGYN tested my fasting insulin levels along with fasting glucose and found out I have insulin resistance (but not diabetes) which is common with PCOS. I got put on metformin traditionally a diabetic medication would help my body not make way…

Great job, you look awesome. But please consider changing your profile photo. It feels like body shamming to me, I know it's likely a joke to you. But to me, as someone that was nearly 300 pounds at one point in my life, putting an unflattering photo of an obese women in a bathing suit as your profile photo can be hurtful.…

Hi there. 25-year-old ADHDer here with also depression and anxiety. Diagnosed at 18 when I started college. My mom also knew I was smart but off in some way but unsure what some to find out its ADHD. SW very similar to yours and I'm 5' 9" if you are wondering. Anyway somethings I do differently. I don't know if I do them…

Binge eater here too. For me, I will just feel like I can't get enough food- hungry, hungry hippo type feeling sometimes. I have foods I can eat a lot of and still be on track: carrots, broccoli, etc. If I'm feeling really "bad" I will do the 240 calories per pint ice cream (will eat the entire pint in one sitting…

Sweating that's a good one. I also don't wear shorts because I can't find a length that is right. Too short and they want to roll up too long and it's just weird. I do wear dresses sometimes though. But for me, what I hate the most physical pain especially my knees and back. I'm WAY to young to have to deal with that

tired of the pain of being obese. Ready to feel and look great for once in my life

12 hour night shift nurse here, I do my three 12 hour days in a row so I skip the gym on those days. May sound bad but I am totally worn down and going to the gym wouldn't give me energy. I used to only go down the stairs but I have been trying to go up them more as well. I also started doing "beeping rounds" where if I am…

good job :)

Hi! I have anxiety myself about things including the gym from time to time. But I just try to remember I'm there to better myself who cares if I look a little silly at time. I haven't ever noticed anyone looking at me that I can recall. I'm obese and I feel fine at the gym. The only time I get anxious is when I see the…

You sound similar to me. Like someone else said halo top ice cream is a good choice. I know they sell it at Kroger. Also go for ice cream sandwich so then you only eat one and you know the calories. I have an outside freezer so I only keep one or sometimes none in the house. It sometimes help me doing this. Also kettle…

Wow thanks so much for sharing. Such a big difference and in not the long of a time period. At least in my option. Really shows how much you can change with true dedication. Keep up the great work

I have PCOS as well. I always have had problems having the scale move downwards yet very easy for me to gain weight. I have accept that I may never feel overly full but just not hungry will do for me. It seems weird but that's how I am. I did have my fasting insulin (not glucose) tested and found out that I am insulin…

Extremely inspiring to me. Doesn't look like you even have extra skin. Your stomach looking old great. Wow! Thanks for sharing. :)

Nice job. Thanks for sharing! Keep up the great work :)

I have at least the much to get rid out. Haha. Don't judge based on profile photo. That's me when I lost weight last time. Gained almost all of it with the death of the father. Ready to start again :)

Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Good luck to you :)

Nice job!! :)

Such a big difference. You look great. That's great that you see yourself now in a positive light. Good luck to you :)

Nice job! :)

Nice job :)

Nice job lady! Keep up the GREAT work :)

This is truly inspiring to me. You look great. That doesn't seem like much time at all for how much progress you have made. Keep up the great work :)

You look great. Doesn't look like you have much extra skin if any at all. Keep up the good work. Thanks for posting :)

Wow, nice job! I have thought of trying to do that myself before. Good luck :)

Thanks for the encouragement. You look great. Nice job :)

looks like more than 24lbs to me. you must be gaining muscle too. thanks for sharing

nice job. thanks for sharing

It's not good for you. But I think trying to cut out everything is not good. A couple a week IMO is okay

You asked for favorite not healthiest right? I like sugar free chocolate pudding with sweetened shredded coconut on top. A portion of the pudding ahead of time. And put the coconut on my before I eat. I make it with 1% milk in it is a little less than 100 calories
