You look astounding! You should be extremely proud of yourself!! You look so happy and healthy!

So after 3+ years of TTC and 3 miscarriages I am expecting AGAIN!! We haven't been pregnant in 2 yrs. I have severe PCOS and nothing was helping. That is when I joined MFP in January. Since December I have lost 64lbs and then miraculously got pregnant! I am worried sick about EVERYTHING but we couldn't be more excited! Is…

You look amazing girl!! You should be really proud!

Let me just start by saying PCOS sucks but we cannot let it define who we are or what we look like!! I was diagnosed with PCOS about 4 years ago and listened to my doctor when he said it would be rather difficult to lose weight. I thought to myself why try when he says it will be hard! Well after having a major health…

I have a really hard time with it as well. Who would have thought?? I get really uncomfortable when people compliment me or ask me how much I have lost or how. Luckily no one has touched me or I might go off the deep end. I want to wear baggy clothes too but that will totally defeat the purpose of losing weight. I hope in…

Healthy weight loss is 2lbs per week which would be 12lbs. Give it a try and even if you don't reach 20 lbs you will have lost some!! Good luck

MFP is amazing!! Welcome to the site! A couple pieces of advice are: make sure to add friends, the support you get from them is amazing!! And be true to yourself. Log EVERYTHING that goes in your mouth! You can do this! I was at the end of my rope too and In 4 short months I have totally turned everything around! Best of…

I am really sorry you are having to endure that. This journey to a healthier life is hard enough as it is and to not have your family's full support is incomprehensible. I cannot imagine what you must feel. My family (parent's inparticular) are my biggest supporters and cheerleaders. Usually I would say remove the negative…

HHMM I have never had a problem with mine. Try calling the manufacturer and see what they say. I have the FT4 and it always stays connected. I have heard when the battery runs low it can cause those kinds of problems.. Did you leave it on overnight by chance or something that could have run the battery down??

Wow!! What a transformation!! Way to go girl!! Keep it up!

I took it a couple years ago and dropped 50 lbs in a matter of a couple months. It was not healthy weight loss though. I stopped taking it because my heart was always racing, my mind was in a fog, and it made me really anxious. Be very careful when taking this. It is in the amphetamine category and has alot of side…

Hey there!! I have been a nanny for the last 4 years. It really depends on what area you are working in, how many kids/ages, and what other duties will be in your job description. I work through a nanny agency and watch two children and make $650 a week. Without going through a nanny agency i would at least ask for $10 per…

I do not drink anything besides water.. Very rarely I will have milk but usually in cereal. Soda makes me more thirsty than I was before I drank it! Good ole h2o is the way to go!

I like the Elliptical! I use the Precor AMT 100i at the gym and it isn't a regular elliptical! It is a hard workout without the strain on my joints. The impact of treadmills do not work for me! I vote for Ellipticals!

Welcome!! MFP is amazing and the support and encouragement you get from "Complete Strangers" is phenominal! I could not do it without the support! Feel free to add me if you would like!

I am right there I can taste it!! I am pretty sure I will start bawling when I do. I haven't been under 200 lbs for a very long time. I have 12 lbs to go!!!

I am honestly lost for words. How horrible. WOW
