Hi - I am trying to conceive as well. Currently using mfp to lose some weight and track my progress. We plan to really start trying this summer so good luck to us. I actually did get pregnant last October but sadly miscarried. I have PCOS as well so weight loss is a must. Would love some buddies as well. Feel free to add…

PCOS is so weird. Seems like its very common but everyone has a different experience with it. I was diagnosed over 10 years ago and was immediately put on birth control and metformin to control the symptoms. This is what doctors like to do. Now- I am trying to conceive so stopped bc about two years ago. I still take…

Me! I have PCOS as well and am ttc. We did get pregnant last October but sadly miscarried. We plan to really start trying again this summer but until then I am hoping that I can lose about 20-30 lbs and increase my intake of fertility boosting foods! I am using mfp to track my progress and keep me motivated. I take…

Spicy cilantro lime shrimp tacos! Yum!

Ignore it. Who knows what's going on in her life to make her show up that way- nevertheless- it is not your problem. You are at work to provide a service and earn a paycheck -not make friends or be chummy with everyone. If there is something specific that happens then address in a professional mature way. Otherwise- don't…

Cheese. I love cheese- especially the extra sharp stuff but it has a lot calories and fat and is just generally bad for you. I still eat it just in smaller, manageable portions.

You look great! So inspiring.

usually I have some combo of the following: oatmeal hard boiled egg vegetable and egg white scramble (sometimes with feta cheese) home made breakfast sandwich made with thin slice bread, one egg, turkey bacon and lowfat cheese or those thin slices of cheese Greek yogurt

When I first started working out I would get this way too and I still feel self conscious the moment I walk into the gym. I just tell myself that I am work in progress and I focus on doing the best that I can. I figure - I am going to the gym/working out for my own health and wellness so I try to stay focused on that…

I have been using PGX for about a week and I must say that I think its doing its job for me. I feel less hungry and have completely lost the urge to pig out on sugar. Which is great! Plan to continue with it for now.

I think everyone is different. I only eat about half my exercise calories and I am still losing.

Sounds good. I would be worried about eating too many of these. But defintely a better alternative to candy.

I currently live in Seattle, WA and contrary to what everyone says- It does not always rain here. It can be really beautiful when the sun is out. Lots of water all around, hills and moutains very close to here. In the spring and summer it is wonderfully scenic here. Now- to be honest- in the winter time- not so great here…

I feel relieved knowing that I'm not the only one that does this though!

I snack in the middle of the night as well! Not all the time but sometimes. I don't usually eat a lot but I do wake up in the middle of the night and go straight to the kitchen and get snacks. Its so weird. I usually get a piece of cheese (?) or a handful of cereal or something weird like that. I don't think I'm sleep…

HUGE problem for me. I always have trouble sleeping at night and then I want to eat to comfort myself. I try to save some cals for a healthy snack before bed. I sometimes fantasize about the great breakfast I'm gonna have the next morning. I wish I had better advice but this is one of my crutches too. I do notice that when…

So much... I don't even like to think about it. Just look at the ticker.

Yep yep- you said it yourself and it's in your profile pic- dont give up. I have finally realized that I usually get down when I eat lots of sugar or crap. I think it's somewhat physical in that all that sugar and wierd ingrediants makes me feel ill and depressed. So maybe you need a few days detox from the Halloween candy…

I know right. I have some mornings where I spend my first hour at work on here. Shame on me. Its kinda of boring on the weekend too.

I only accept them if folks include a message and on that same note when I send friend reguests I always include a short message.

I can definitely tell the difference! You look great and are kicking some butt. Way to go! :)

I use light vanilla soy milk.

Great advice! I totally agree with this!

Congrats on your weight loss! That is absolutely awesome. My goal is not really to be "skinny". Being skinny doesn't even sound good to me. When I think of skinny I think of boney girls that eat salad all the time! Not my goal! I want to be healthy, fit and strong! Which in my mind, has nothing really to do with being…

I'll probably never really be "skinny" so it will probably just be business as usual. I am looking forward to being able to do some sort of marathon or 5k or some sort of physical challenge like that in the future.

Hey! Welcome to MFP. Nice to meet you too! Good luck on your goals. I find that following this program has been the first real thing that has stuck for me. Thank god- because- if not I would probably still be sitting on my couch all the time. Wishing you the best :) -Rhashida

I use the Greek yogurt trick as well. I also eat salads with tuna or chicken. Tofu can make for a decent protein source as well. I make stir fry with either tofu, chicken or beef and veggies. eggs in the morning give me a good protein boost as well.

I am reading Eat, Pray, Love. Its better than the movie and interesting. Gives me hope for what the future holds for me.

I think there should be a MFP convention. I can just picture it with exercise/motivational breakout sessions and some crazy parties in the night time.

Good job! Great goals! Sounds like you are on a path to success! Way to go.
