  • SW-298 CW-289 (yeah, I'm sure a lot of that's water, but I'll take what I can get) My goal to make things easier is to actually meal plan. I tend to grab a lot on the fly, and I've been doing okay calorie-wise but it's definitely harder trying to sort things out every meal.

  • My weight is totally not a success story right now since apparently when I'm breastfeeding I want to eat all the things, but I did want to hop in here and provide some hope. I had been diagnosed with PCOS when I was 18 and had pretty non existent cycles, so I knew that conceiving would be a challenge. When DH and I were…

  • Official weight: 298 Motivation: My kids, being able to keep up with them and getting healthy to be around and watch them grow up.

  • I'm not a success yet as I have a loooong way to go. But I have lost over 40lbs since January. This time I am simply sounding my callories and trying to meet my macros. I don't specifically avoid anything but do make sure it fits into my goals for the day. I did have success losing about 30lbs on a low carb (south beach)…

  • I was 18 when I was diagnosed. I gave birth to my son just after I turned 28 we did get pregnant using Femara for ovulation stimulation.

  • I too have PCOS, while trying to conceive my son both my family doctor and endocrinologist encouraged exercise and weight loss. Lower fat percentages can help improve some of the hormone issues that ladies with PCOS encounter.

  • I've had this soup sitting on my desk at work for ages. It's one of those "single serv" microwavewable ones with a lid. Serving size 250 ml, size of container 398ml First of all, 398? Couldn't fit the extra 2?

  • You WILL lose weight eating at 900 calories a day. But you won't be nourishing your body or giving it the nutrients it needs. It's also not sustainable long term. I would especially worry since you mention you have trouble staying within higher calorie goals. In that situation you're very likely to end up in a place to…
    in so my low cal diet won't work to lose 50 pounds? Comment by middyfire May 2013
  • When we go camping our protein does consist of a decent amount of chicken and we'll splurge on a couple of relatively lean steaks one night. I've never been a ground beef fan so I would lean towards a healthier variety of sausage (turkey, chicken, tofu) on a bun anyway. You can also grill a number of veggies for the…

  • Count me in too, I completed W1D1 yesterday and was pleasantly surprised that I didn't want to die before it was over.

  • I have PCOS and I still have a long way to go, but in the past I did find a low GI diet did help, but it was restrictive enough that I had trouble sticking to it and felt like I was on a diet all the time. This time around I'm counting my calories and sticking to whole grains and similar carbs. I've also been on a meal…
