Thanks so much for sharing your story and success, I think I will give the gluten free thing a shot. I mostly eat low glycemic anyways, but maybe going the whole way will actually get me regular because I don't like to be on the pill either. :)

Just wanted to say congratulations on the amazing goals you have reached! You are looking so much healthier and there is a big difference. Thank you so much for sharing and giving the rest of us encouragement to pursue our health. :)

Congratulations on reaching such an amazing goal!

I really do understand, I basically went on a 9 month, eat everything and anything I wanted and really did not want to live anymore. Most of this behavior was hid from my family, so I was extremely ashamed about my weight gain and my secretive behavior. And I have been on a constant overeat and then diet cycle for almost…

I have been there, I think many of us have. But you are taking a step in the right direction by logging your food and being honest. Good for you! You can do this and each day that you log your food is a day that you are accountable to yourself. Keep going!

I think it is a great start, for you just to be here and saying how you feel and being honest. Just wanted to say that I have been there before. I went into a deep depression this past year and and gained back 60 of the 80 lbs that I had lost. It was so hard to start over again, but I am here and so are you. :) It has been…

From all of the information I have perceived it really is for both issues. Kathryn herself really wasn't a purger, but obsessively exercised. Many of the women that have been helped by her book are binge/over-eaters and not bulimic. It is more about stopping these behaviors that we have conditioned ourselves to and seem to…

This is one of favorites for clean recipes and clean treats for my family. http://detoxinista.com/ She is a holistic health counselor and an amazing chef. I love her recipes because she explains everything and gives great alternatives, like a "flax egg" instead of a real egg, if you don't want to use one. She also gives…

Just wanted to tell you that you are not alone and so many of us struggle with this. Have you heard of the book "Brain Over Binge?" Someone one in this group forum suggested it to me. Go and look at the book on Amazon and read all of the reviews, she also has an amazing blog/website. It is written by a women named Kathryn…

Such interesting stuff. I looked at her book on Amazon and all the amazing reviews, then went to her website/blog and spent about 3 hours reading. I have always thought to myself that my binge/overeating was just this really bad habit I had gotten myself into because I did not have this problem until I became an adult and…

I'm so happy to hear you are making a change for yourself and found some relief. Thank you so much for sharing this information, I am looking forward to finding this information.

This has definitely happened to me before. It was the reason I went to the doctor and finally got a PCOS diagnosis. I use to get my period it seemed like at least twice a month and bleeding all the time and sometimes it would be extremely heavy. They did an ultrasound and took a biopsy and the lining of my uterine walls…

I was just thinking about this same thing today. I run a small Boutique Hotel part of the year and thank goodness it is not all of the year. :) I am constantly surrounded by delicious food, baked goods, snacks and treats and all for my taking because nobody is around to stop me. I always gain weight every time I'm here,…

40 lbs is a huge victory, even if you have more to go. Celebrate one year of having a more healthy, balanced life! And you look some much more vibrant!

Whaa?? Where have I been that I have never heard of this yet! Just found a fab link that looks like a good recipe for the crust. http://detoxinista.com/recipes/most-popular/

Way to go on your healthy, balanced victory! I am loving this thread and all of the small success stories. Soon, all of these small victories will turn in to one giant one! One of my small victories in the last 2 1/2 weeks has been to not eat the baked goods I make for the guests who stay at our Inn. Let me tell you, it…

Wonderful, you look great! Keep up the incredible work!

Just wanted to say that I have been there one too many times and you are not alone. I have been on a twenty year yo-yo and I have decided I want to get off and you can too! I have to remind myself that each day is a new day. It can be such a hard challenge not to get too depressed about the mistakes I have made with my…

Ooh yum! Made something similiar, but used nutritional yeast instead of cheese, for my vegan daughter and they really turned out super delish. Will be making many times this fall/winter for a side dish or just a great warm snack!

Well done you! You are an inspiration...it can be done and I can't wait to get there!

Amen Cyster! :)

Your welcome! Totally understand getting discouraged. My sister, who doesn't have PCOS, can lose weight so much easier then me and I put weight back so quickly. I can just have a bad weekend and whoosh...I've put some pounds back on. Not fair! But there have been many successful PCOS'ers that conquered their health issues…

When I was diagnosed with PCOS, at the time I also had pre-diabetes. So I always try and watch my blood sugar levels. Many women with PCOS, also have these insulin resistance problems, it seems to go hand in hand. So, I have been trying just to eat as clean as possible, whole grains, fruits, veggies, healthy fats and lean…

Well, I had wish I had the money to get it professionally removed, but I don't. So, what I do is bleach the hair that is soft and not really dark and I wax the rest, like my upper lip. I use a microwaveable beeswax kind that I get a Sally Beauty Supply, it is my favorite, because it works and doesn't hurt too much. The…
