  • I completely relate to this sentiment. It definitely scares me and I have often self-sabotaged. But like other people have said, it really is about our health. I know that if I continue on this self-destructive path, I will become more and more sick. It's not worth it. However, at the heart of this issue, is really the…
  • I don't know about the isn't easy to get part? It's not prescribed, you can just order it online. Maybe that just means it's a pain because you have to order it online, I don't think they have that one particularly in stores. You get discounts on that d-chiro website for certain things, like a first time order discount, a…
  • BUMP back ;) I've looked into this a lot and I know people who have had great success while taking inositol (and some who really didn't notice much of a change). Follow the link I'm going to post, there is a video that explains the role of inositol and the product I'm linking is supposedly the best/one of the best. There…
  • Thanks for the feedback! How quickly did you lose the weight before your plateau? Would you mind clarifying if any grains are allowed? Any other tips? THANK YOU :smile:
  • Thank you, ladies. From what I understand, it's the "caveman" diet. (To be honest, I don't really care about it's historical roots lol) It's eating whatever could be hunted for and gathered, no dairy, no processed foods, no grains (maybe some grains, still not sure on this)...so mostly, veggies, meat, nuts/seeds, fruit.…
  • My story is pretty similiar to yours. I think my shift in thinking was a combination of things...firstly because all of my yo-yo and extreme dieting just wasn't working. I mean, some of them literally didn't make me lose anything...so suffering for no reason wasn't a party! :) The second thing was my PCOS symptoms which…
  • Thanks for the responses and friend requests, girls. I'm in an incredibly high stress season of life right now and I've been so discouraged lately...I've had chronic insomnia so that def. hasn't helped! I think I know of a good structure to get into with my eating but I'm severly lacking in motivation right now. Hope you…
  • Great job!!! Keep it up!
  • You look AMAZING! Great job! So inspiring. And (not to be blunt) but you kept your chest, which is really encouraging. I really don't want to lose mine :( Thanks for the encouragement!
  • I'm in the same boat with the Barbie best friend's wedding...except she just pushed hers up from April 2013 to this November! Lol. I'm nearly at my biggest weight wise right now and the last time she saw me was about 30 pounds ago...I would def. like to lose some by then. We can do it! I'm tired of not taking photos or not…
  • Hey girl :) I know how frustrating it can be, I was having a frustrating day today! I've just started to watch my carbs and it can be so irritating and overwhelming. I maintained a weight I could get away with for a long time (while I played sports) but now I have to lose quite a bit. I hope you're getting encouraged on…
  • I have definitely dealt with the same thing, it's very frustrating! One thing to keep in mind is to maybe not think so conventionally about breakfast, i.e. typical breakfast foods. Maybe there are other things you can eat like meat/beans, etc. Two things that have helped me are too add vegetables to everything (and if you…
  • Hi Bill, I have PCOS which involves insulin resistance, similar to Diabetes. What is a good amount of carbs for me daily?
