It's not just a blanket 500 cals per day. Its a restricted diet where you can only have certain foods. You don't count the calories, you are just supposed to stick to the eating plan that comes with it. I am currently trying it and I have lost 6 lbs in 6 days. I am doing this diet in conjunction with a trainer who is very…

So true! love it! :)

My Chiropractor called me "fluffy".

I was once a scale addict too. I haven't stepped on it in two weeks! My trick is I hid the scale in the closet behind my clothes hamper! Out of sight, out of mind!
-
I like to make stuffed green peppers and instead of use ground beef, use ground turkey.
-
I also have lost 20lbs. I started a (tight) size 14 now I am a loose size 12. I am not small enough to move into a 10 yet, but I am still actively working on my weight loss. Like everyone has said, every body is built differently and every clothes manufacturer sizes their clothes slightly different. I hope this helps! Good…

Thanks for the input. I will continue to research it. I appreciate that people have tried it and have had success. I'm no necessarily looking for a quick fix (although that would be great) but it is interesting to learn about other methods of losing weight.
-
Yes thanks for the info. I wasn't seriously considering it, I was more interested in what people thought and if anyone had tried it. I have heard a lot of stories of ppl losing weight quickly, but then being miserable with how their body's looked. I definitely believe that the old fashioned way of diet and daily exercise…

Ok just to let you know...I wasn't thinking of doing it. I just wanted thoughts! lol No worries people! I love MFP and have been succesfully using it! :)
-
Yeah all great points! Thanks everyone. I have been losing weight the old fashioned way with good diet and exerise. I just wanted feedback on thoughts about this new "fad".
-
RIght!? My scale isn't moving either and this ad just sounded tempting...but I wanted some opinions. :)
-
Love it! Thanks for the giggles!!!
-
You look fantastic! Congrats on your success!!
-
You look amazing! Congrats!

Hi Kelley, Welcome to MFP. I am not familiar with Couch to 5k. Could you tell me more about it?
-
I have failed too! Chick-fil-A and Taco Bell have won this past week!
-
I often use baby powder w/cornstarch to help absorb the moisture.

Thanks! :)

My first thought as I am reading your post, is maybe you need to change your workout regime. It sounds like perhaps your body has hit a plateau. My second thought is, are you drinking enough fluids and keeping your body hydrated as your workout. Congrats on your wedding by the way!!! I hope your body reacts like the way…

I am just learning more about Gluten free diet, and my doc suggested I try it. Any suggestions for websites or books where i can research so I make sure I am eating the right stuff?
-
I wish I could offer you more motivation. I joined the Y about 4 weeks ago and have never went. I have started walking/jogging in the evenings though. Let me know what you discover, so I can be motivated too!
-
Wow what an awesome challenge! I need to do this too! Lunchtime is my biggest issue! I agree that Subway should be an option if necessary. Great idea!
-
Oh you are definitely not alone! I have lost 25lbs, and I would like to lose about 40 more. I have not lost any weight in about two weeks. And like you said, I know the reasons why, but I just want to reach my goal. And to answer your questions about what I do to snap myself out of it....well sometimes it takes a good…

My GYN is the one that diagnosed and manages my PCOS. She also prescribes and monitors my Metformin. Have you consulted your GYN, or even PCP?
-
Hey I have had PCOS for quite some time now (since I was 17) so for about 10 years. I have been managing it with Metformin 100mg 2xday and Yaz Birth control pills. I try to watch my carb and sugar intake only because I can feel the difference when I eat too much. Since I restarted taking the BC pills and Metformin I have…
