Hi, I am in the same boat! I am not looking to get preggers this year, but perhaps next year. I too have PCOS and I need to drop about 50lbs before I would be at a more ideal weight to have a successful pregnancy. At once time I was 260, and I'm now 210, so I'm 1/2 way three. Anyone on this thread feel free to friend me. I…

congrats! You look amazing and so happy :)

wonderful! What an awesome change!

You can really tell the difference in your tummy and face. Awesome work, keep it up!

Of course! Add me! Always happy to help motivate a new friend :)

I am going through this myself right now. My boyfriend of 2 years ended our relationship on Monday. I am struggling to get to the gym and even eat anything at all. I just have no motivation, so i'm totally in the same boat. I am noticing that I have to "force" myself to go out and do things, talk to friends, but after I…

I appreciate you sharing your story with us--I know it was hard to do. You look wonderful and I can tell you have worked hard! Take some time to congratulate yourself for all you've done and overcome. Seriously, way to go.

Always happy to help support someone in this transition. Feel free to add me!

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. I know that is very difficult. I've got 60lbs to lose, feel free to add me

Hi Becky, I too am aiming to lose about 60lbs. Feel free to add me!

we have the same goal weight--feel free to add me!

Welcome, feel free to add me!

Feel free to add me, I've got 60lbs to go!

I started today as well, but honestly I only made it through 16 min before feeling like I was going to pass out. I'll do it again tomorrow, and I hope I can get through more. I'm not always the best at pushing myself when things get hard, so I need to work on that.

Thank you all so much for your insight. I see now that I was too rigid in my view point here, and that mostly stems from being afraid of losing momentum, but it's nice to indulge once and a while too. We are making Thanksgiving dinner together and we've come up with some healthy recipes to make and we're both looking…

OMG, I think bald is sexy. The BF shaves his head and it's turned me on since day 1.

thanks all, I appreciate your help! I think you all are right. I need to know that I can relax occasionally and I will (a bit) over Thanksgiving

Hi, I've had this exact same problem for years. I would literally get so hungry at night that I would have to eat....I would feel like I was going to pass out if I didn't. My nutritionist suggested really focusing on high fiber items and lots of veggies during the day and saving 200 calories or so for a 9-10pm snack. I've…

Hi! I'm Kari and I've only been here for a little over a week, so I'm new too. My advice is to create healthier versions of your favorite meals at home. I've got my favorite meal from Chipotle (at 1190 Calories) down to 435 calories and I've eaten it twice this week! I find that I am just as satisfied as if I went out to…

Awww that made me tear up this morning. Congrats to you and all of your hard work. Keep in up and know that all your pals at MFP are rooting for you!

Good luck on your Dr. appt! Believe me, I can sympathize....I've had it all done to my left knee--ACL/MCL tear, minicus damage, various injections, and now 3 surgeries. The one thing that I've learned from this 10 year relationship with a bum knee is that things are so much worse when you carry extra weight. My Dr. told me…
