  • I just added myself to the spreadsheet. May 1: May 6: May 13: May 20: May 27: May 31:
  • WOW!!!! Good for you!!! That is great self control!!!
  • Name: Gayle Weight: 250 Height: 5' 10" Goal Weight: 175-160 pounds OMAD time: 12-4 pm Start Date: October 13, 2014 I feel like I have tried every diet program out there....but I haven't. And some may work, but I can't stick to any program long enough to see results. This idea appeals to me because once I start eating, it…
  • I had mine checked back in June. It was really low and Dr gave me a prescription. I haven't noticed any improvements from taking the supplement.
  • I just started with the shake. I love the Choose to Lose program but have always struggled with breakfast. I am just doing the shakes for breakfast to see if that helps me stay on track.

  • Welcome Back. I am in the same pair of shoes as you are.......Please feel free to add me is you want to.
  • I have looked into Les Mills but the closest certified gym is 45+ miles away. :(
  • I am in my first week. It is hard but today is day 4 and I am feeling good. I turned to this because I have PCOS and have tried just counting calories with not results. The only time I have dropped a good amount of weigh was when I did low carb but then started having side effects that I didn't know how to deal with. I…
  • Hello. I am a 36 mother of 3 (18,10,4) Leave the house by 6AM and return at 6PM. I suffer from PCOS. I am currently following the Chris Powell Carb Cycling plan and LOVE it! No specific exercise plan....Jillian video, Zumba, treadmill, elliptical. Last summer I was within 6 pounds of my goal but things got crazy and old…
  • I am not trying to saying you are being selfish. What I was tying to say is you need to find what works for your entire family. It is clear the current set-up isn't work. I was simply offering some things I do to make it work in my family, with 3 kids, a husband of 14 years, a full time job, two hour a day commute, and an…
  • You have to find a way to make it work with your life. I have people around me that think it is so easy to just go after work..but if I did that I would only see my kids for an hour a day. I don't think that is acceptable. How can I be a parent 1 hour a day? So I either do it at 4AM or once the kids are in bed. My health…
  • Super low carb and lots of cardio worked for me....but due to how low I went on carbs I started getting horrible leg cramps and muscle spasms. So I quit everything and gained a bunch back. I am back at it with low carbs. If I have the same issues I am going to contact my dr. As far as fertility, I was on Clomid for years.…
  • I have had two clomid babies. Many years of clomid and very hard but super easy pregnancies. Worth every second. Check out ovwatch. Worked great for me getting pregnant second time. Pm me if you want to know more.
  • Not everyone can understand your excitement but I sooooooo can! Way to go. Keep up the great work!!!!
  • Great job! Isn't it funny how good that feels!! Keep it up!
  • I totally understand how you feel. I did that for years. The signs of pregnancy and PMS are way too similar!! I am not TTC at the moment, but I wanted to share something that worked for me. Do some research on the OVWatch. I am one of the lucky ones and have 3 awesome kids. My first was unplanned at 18 so I didn't have a…
  • I am not currently TTC...but have been thru it twice. 2 years the first time and 5 years the second time. BBT drove me nuts (or it was related to the Clomid) I found this great tool called the OVwatch. I would highly suggest looking into it. It basically tracking your ovulation with your sweat while you sleep. You only…
  • You look great! Well done!
  • Lettuce Chicken Breast Ground Beef Bacon Bits Eggs Cheese Laughing Cow Cheese spread Sour Cream String Cheese Mushrooms Green Beans Zuchinni Squash Salsa Melon I am not much of a breakfast person myself either. I am up at 4:30 and breakfast happens around 8-9 depending on the day. I can normally do eggs at this time or a…
  • Carbs were a HUGE thing for me too. But I have PCOS so it might now work for you. MFP has my calories at 1200. Some days I go way over and some days a bit under. For me exercise is not that important in losing weight but it makes me feel so much better! I feel that everyone has to find what works for them. I can do and eat…
  • I am at 1200 calories and try to stay under 100g of carbs. So far it has been working well for me. I have been off track for a few weeks but trying to start back full force this week. You just need to find what works for you!
  • Hello! Feel free to add me if you would like to. I too have PCOS and have struggled with infertility for years. Thankfully I have been blessed with 3 wonderful children. I have struggled with my weight for years also and I am finally winning that battle. Life is good! I am located in Eastern Iowa! You have the right…
  • I have the same issue...I am not hungry until 10 or 11 and I get up at 4. I don't eat breakfast most days and I am losing weight the right way still. EveryBODY works differently. Find what works for you (as long as it is reasonable) and do it!!!
  • You can add me. I have lost 68 with about 12 to go with a 17 year old, 10 year old, and 4 year old. :)
  • Hi. First, yes you will burn more the more you weigh. But a heart rate monitor might be good if you don't already have one. I personally do not eat back my exercise calories mainly because I am sure I miss logging some things thru the day. For me the secert was low carbs. Not only has it helped me loss weight, but I also…

  • My experience is the exact opposite. I used to have horrible headaches 6-7 days a week. Since going low Carb I haven't had a headache in months.
  • This has been a large part of my frustrations over the years. I truly believe that it is possible to find opposite research for EVERYTHING! I also believe that two people can do the same exact things diet and exercise wise and one can loss weight and the other can gain. For me I had to find what works for me. After much…
  • My brother (LOVE HIM TO DEATH) used to tell me that you were related to people based on your first name not last name. I never knew anyone else named Gayle so I thought I had no family.
  • Woo Hoo!!! I will never forget the day my Wii Fit went from Obese to Overweight. I didn't think it was normal to be as excited as I was about being overweight!!! I totally get it! Way to go! Now...the day I am in healthy range.......what a dream! I am within 10 pounds!
  • I do hope your Doctor is able to help you. The number one thing I can tell you is you have to trust your Doctor. My OB-GYN helped me have my two youngest children and I am thankful every day for that! As for my weight issue....I have not taken any medication just went low carbs and that finally worked for me. Still do not…
