I'm a bit of a geek too and could use a buddy. I did really well on here last year but life happened and my health priorities fell to the bottom as I sat at my desk and my tv just trying to get through each day. But I'm back and ready to try again. :) I love fantasy, sci fi, books, and so much more. Good luck!

He was there in the delivery room. I've embraced my body this way: I worked hard for this body. Every lump, bump, scar, stretch mark, sag and more tells it's own story. I'm working on getting healthier and in the process feeling better about me and maybe fitting into smaller clothes. But this is who I am.

My girlfriend and I call this sludge. It's happened to me multiple times and often at the end or beginning of a regular cycle too. I'd say just watch it and speak with your OB/GYN if it happens again. Try to keep track of your periods, any pain you have, and any other concerns over the month in regards to your…

Sometimes it sucks having to be the Mom. You want to make your kids happy, but you can't always give them what they want. As a parent, we have to "model the behavior" to set a good example for our kids. So if you want to do Mc'd, go and let them order their meals. If they cannot finish, then toss it or save it for later…

Sorry to hear you're dealing with this. Anxiety can really suck, but thankfully there are ways to cope. Hopefully the Fluoxetine will deal with both your depression and anxiety. Docs are less inclined to prescribe benzos (xanax, valium, etc) because they are addictive and can get out of hand, so they use the…

Thank you so much for starting this group. I've been diagnosed for years and most of what I read is discouraging. But I'm heartened to know we're not alone and that with consistent effort we can see positive changes. I'm happy to report slow but steady weight loss by staying mindful about what I eat and remembering to log…

Aloha, Yep, count me in! I've had PCOS for a long time, though it took quite a while to get diagnosed. Thankfully, I was able to get pregnant, but unfortunately, I have sugar sensitivity, s-l-o-w metabolism, and hair loss. I'm trying a new combination of medication for the hair loss, but the weight battle is ongoing. I'd…

Believe it or not Match.Com about 7 years ago. But I kissed a lot of toads first.

Awesome! I've been dealing and not dealing with PCOS for most of my life, though no one figured it out until I showed an article to my OBGYN who realized that's what was going on and ran the necessary tests to rule it in. I'm at the beginning of the journey, again, to lose the weight. I've lost my pregnancy weight but…

Usually after unless I'm eating out. I love that the mobile app tells me how many calories something is going to be so I can figure out what to order and how much of it I can eat and still stay within my target zone.

Hi. Yes, you can do this. You will do it one step at a time, one day at a time so as not to get overwhelmed. If you've been treated for anxiety in the past, hopefully you've used some of the Cognitive Behavioral Tools. Not only does it help keep you more aware of what you're thinking, but also of what you're doing so that…

Welcome to the journey. Lots of folks on here to help you and support you if you're willing to do the work. I find logging as I eat and checking calorie counts before I order helps me make better choices than if I log at the end of the day. Like you, I have a hard time staying motivated and I have quite a bit to lose.…

You lost 100lbs in the past? Amazing! That means that you can do it again. It may seem overwhelming, but just take it one step at a time and set small goals of 5lbs or so. Celebrate each achievement with a non-food reward such as a mani or pedi, bubble bath, time to read a book, or other fun activity. You can do it.…
