http://paleopot.com/2013/02/one-pot-chorizo-and-kale-soup/ ---- seriously good!

I have PCOS and have had acne for years!!!!! The best thing i have ever done is go on Spironolactone which addresses the hormones associated with it. It takes a few months but very worth it! For me, it gets better the less acne specific stuff I use. I switched to a gentle cleanser and moisturizer instead of ones for acne…

I just heard an article on NPR about how there are only a few brands that sell real Greek yogurt. Fage and Chobani are the only ones I know of. If the protein is really low and it has some sort of starch or thickener it is not real Greek yogurt.

i get them constantly. The biggest help for me is to fill a hard plastic water bottle with hot water and lay it under your calf. You can roll it under your calf to massage the muscle and the hot water helps to relax it.

I rell the same way. I have noticed it goes it chunks, 4 or 5 pounds in a week and nothing for a month. I would suggest watching season 2 episode 1 of Extreme makeover: Weight Loss Edition. She has PCOS and has done the best of any of people on that show. They have the shows on Hulu.

Angry Bird guy- plays angry birds on the machines, sometimes it is the arc trainer and he goes very slow, sometimes it is the crunch machine and blocks it for hours! white belly- a women who works out every day on the elliptical in spandex shorts and a sports bra. She is very pasty weight and looks like she is a couple…

I was an over weight child and still am. My mom was a nurse and tried everything she could to help me. I refused to play sports becasue of my weight and I would sneek food. I also have PCOS and have had it since I was 13. What I am getting at is it is not her fault! She tried very hard to help me and i was not able to lose…

Three on each lobe, tragus, conch, orbital, and two cartilage piercings I don't wear anything in. I am considering stretching my ears. P.S. it is not called gauges, a gauge is a size!

I do not have insulin resistance and have PCOS. I think I did at one time, but right now when I rest the results are great!

Beagle- Pit Bull corss, she has a great personality, doesn't need a leash, and is very spoiled. My BF works nights and I work days, she is hardly alone and gets a full rein of the house. We have tried several times to get another dog and she will not have it.

these are great

When I first met my BF his dog was named Deaf Dog, her real name was Questa but it never stuck. His moms current dog is named Fly. She is a boarder collie and very quick! I also have a friend whos cats are Honey Child and Beans. She really likes refried beans. Honey was a orange color and always though she should have been…

I am lucky enough to not have very bad hair on my face, but my arms are another story! I use bleach for that and have an epilator for my legs, arm pitts, and body. It basically 36 tweezer heads spinning and pulling out hair. If you can get over the pain it is worth it! My goal is to slow down the growth over the next few…

My boyfriend and friends tells me this all the time, I don't think it is back handed either. Fat people are portrayed as stuffing their faces constantly with fast food, when we don't do that people are confused.

i would go for apple as well. Do you feel bigger on your top then bottom? I am the opposite so I am a pear. I think hourglass come is at the waiste and rectangle doesn't change. That is all i know thouhg...

I have a 2010 Subaru Impreza, handels amazingly, good MPG, and a surprising amount of room. My BF says it is like driving a race car.

hummus peanut butter soda!!! ugg it burns my throat most Chinese food is just way to greasy

Are you going to the bathroom regularly? This may be gross to some people but I had a friend IRL that was constipated and it got into her stomach. This resulted in her never feeling hungry.

I am not a huge meat eater either. I have made steps to cut out carbs and dairy where possible. Start there and see where it takes you.

mine were very high a year ago, they went down when I cut my carbs down

i weigh 15 punds more then my BF and he picks me up. It freaks me out every time but he can still do it. He is not crazy strong or anything. I think yours will be fine!

Bagels with cream cheese!

have you though about getting rid of the crystal light and Atkins bars? The chemicals in both of these items could be giving you headaches. Maybe try a protein shake with almond/coconut milk and some fresh brewed iced tea with lemon as substitutes. You could also add some cheese or bacon to your eggs in the morning to give…

I have PCOS, so lowering carbs is a must for me, reguardless I feel a lot better since reducing them. I reasonable goal is 100g, it can be hard at first, but once you cut it out it is just second nature. At this point, eating a hunk of French bread is gross, it is so heavy and just not good tasting. On that note, I still…

Thai food!!!!! the flavors are awesome and there is always veggies!

Some people find milk can cause acne and flem build up. I stopped drinking it for ethical reasons and it went bad before I could finish a half gallon. Coconut is the best tasting to me. It is creamier and doesn't have the nut taste almond milk does.

tofu with peanut sauce edamame beans- lots of fiber, low carbs, and lots of protein chia pudding ( take chia seeds and soak in almond milk, lots of recipes online, super good dessert for low calories and high fiber and protein boiled eggs greek yogurt-use in protein shakes and fruit smoothies one I haven’t tried, but want…

French Press all the way! You get such a better flavor and it is not bitter at all. I use to use soooo much sugar with drip and now and I don't have to use any!

What island are you going to? My paretns are in Kauai. What about doing the C25k program and lift weights on your off days. I have also heard the New Rules of Lifting for Women is really good.

My BF works nights, so we don't get to spend a lot of time together so we joke how we are really just roommates. When we run in to people he hasn't seen in a while from high school or something, he will introduce me as his roommate. The reactions are mixed but always funny. The one that always gets me embarrassed is when…
