Great job! :) You look amazing!

Agreed. I have PCOS and because of that, I have insulin resistance and guess what? Carbs hate me. I love bread and pasta and wish you all the best of luck eating those things but they are not for certain people. Please be open-minded about this because we're all working toward similar goals, but certain people can only…

I have this same issue. Too much testosterone = extra muscle on me too (my legs are so toned right now but I'm gonna start getting bulky if I don't slow it down) I am going next week for a spiro RX to see if maybe taking it helps. Anyway, I'll send AmandaTWaH and you a friend request now lol. Amanda, keep it up! You can do…

30 Day Shred is great. I also have been following this blog: http://www.blogilates.com/ and using some of their printable workouts. I usually walk/jog/run for 20 minutes before I do them though.

This sounds incredible! How much pumpkin do you add?

You look so great! Keep it up!

Done! I managed to do a set while making dinner, too! Anything is possible.

I'm in. Going to break it up into five sets of 20. Yes!

I actually do it but I remove 75 percent of the fiber from the value since I do drink it with pulp (no straining, that's for sissies!) I'm contemplating spending a day making entries for each juice (individually) to the database. It's a bit tedious and almost always, it's mixed with something (I think orange juice is the…

I third that notion. Do what you want, just don't stress about getting one or not. If it happens, it happens.

I'm in. (side note: I didn't even know that's what those were called, I do them all the time. Yes!)

Thank you. Oh, also... You should try a dating site, not a fitness site (no offense people, we have other goals here).

Welcome to MFP, Becky! It's a huge support system, here (the only thing we're working on getting smaller is our waistlines, really). I sent you a request. I'll help you as much as I can! Like you, I have PCOS and it's caused an immense amount of problems for me. It's a pain in the rear (uterus?). Anyway! Good luck with…

My dad makes homemade Italian dressing by using olive oil, vinegar, Italian seasoning, basil, parsley and pepper. It's all "to taste" in his mind, so really it's a matter of how vinegar-y or spicy you want it to be.

Awesome!!! Great job! :)

Agreed. It's actually a proven genetic condition in my family. Nearly everyone on my mom's side has dense bones. No one in that family has ever had osteoporosis (we're kind of lucky in that sense). We're not quite sure why it's like that, it just is. I mean, I know I'm fat, too. I look at the scale and I don't do that…

Gala, Fuji, and Granny Smith are my favorites. Granny Smith is a really great one to juice, it brings out such a strong apple flavor (I like it mixed with cucumber juice and a tiny bit of lemon).

Hehehe. Now "Red Solo Cup" is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. I had a manager who had a styrofoam cup from sonic and would fill it with vodka and sprite. Essentially the same process, I suppose.

Friday: I'm stuck at work in an office all day but luckily I have a standing desk so I am ditching the barstool I have at it. Going to stand/walk around all day. For food options this weekend, I'm going to make healthy grilled shrimp kabobs with a small side of rice and a salad for dinner tonight.

Just starting today but my Thursday Truth is: Today hasn't been fantastic but not terrible. There is no chocolate in my apartment and I don't know if I can cope with that. It's a comfort food. I've been trying to not eat past 9 p.m. and it's 9:30 already and I've got a snack craving.

I'm a transplant from Chicago but since age 9, I'm from west Texas (just south of Lubbock). Currently in Denton for school.

Squash sauteed with olive oil, oregano, paprika and chopped garlic with a side of brown rice is one of my favorite veggie dishes. Also, spinach and tomato (pr mushrooms) with a little bit of mozzarella cheese melted in a tortilla (low fat, or a flat bread) makes an interesting quesadilla.
