Try to stick to low glycemic index foods, set reasonable weight loss goals, drink plenty of water, but most of all don't be too hard on yourself. I am in the same boat as you and have lost 30lbs on this site. Lots of support here. Good luck to you :)

I'm with you on the BMI thing. I don't agree with it at all and I'm gonna go with an ideal with that I feel is healthy for me. It says I should be 140, but i'm going for 160 as that seems more comfortable for me. Do you girl :) Best to you

When I was taking it, I was as high as 2000 mgs a day and when I stopped it at I was at 1000 mgs a day. I stopped it on my own just a few weeks ago. I talked with my OBGYN who was fine with that.

I've pretty much been over on my sugar everyday since I started MFP in October or 2010. I don't worry about it too much because most EVERYTHING has sugar in it. I just figure now that i'm tracking my sugar, i'm not eatting as much of it as I was before I started tracking it. This is a tough area to get under control, but…

I injured my L-knee cap after my first half marathon in April of this year. I haven't been able to work-out like I want to since. Walking and low impact treadmil is all i've pretty much been able to do. The knee is gettin better, but it's a slow heal and it sucks!

I have PCOS. I have been to hell and back trying to have kids. I have been successful getting pregnant, but not carrying to full term. I came close to carrying full term this last time, but it was only because I had lost weight. My OBGYN is convinced that the more weight I lose the better chance I have of carry this next…

I have been working hard at trying to lose weight for the longest. I have tried a lot of different things. Dieting doesn't work for me at all and i'm just now getting the exercise thing down. This site is the only program that I have been able to be consistent with and I don't feel deprived of food. I am about to hit my 2…

I'm reading "The Final Years of Michael Jackson Unmasked" by Ian H. I'm also reading "Nickel and Dimed" by Barbara E. Both are interesting books that I can hardly put down when I'm reading them.
