this!!^^ that's why i rarely participate on the forums anymore :-(

this! ^^

welcome to the club! i say this on every PCOS post: i think it takes us PCOS girls twice as long and we have to work twice as hard to lose weight compared to a 'normal' person! in the past i know that losing even a little weight significantly improves desired outcomes. i was diagnosed almost 10 years ago when my first…

i also have PCOS! i'm about to leave work so i'm sorry i don't have more time to post something more meaningful. but please feel free to add me as a friend! (anyone can too!). it IS hard losing weight with PCOS. i say it takes us twice as long and we have to work twice as hard as a 'normal' person does! but we'll get…

i also am finding my taste buds changing. can definitely taste the sugars in things....most things are sickly sweet now. when i do have to get fast food, it just doesn't taste good. healthier stuff appeals to me more now too. i've always liked veggies (certain ones) but now i REALLY like them! also, portion sizes are…

this^^ totally happened to me today! a yogurt came with breakfast this morning and figured, eh ok whatever.....GROSS!!!!!

awwwww i love this one!!

first husband: in 1999 in yahoo chat....i was 15 and it was the first time i had used the internet like that! he is english and i'm american. we dated for a few years before i moved there in 2002 and got married! we split up 2005 and i moved back to america in 2006. 2nd husband: i came across his picture on myspace after i…

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 10 yrs ago when I lived in england when my first husband and I couldn’t get preggo. We broke up (not because of that), I lost about 40-50 lbs and moved back home to america. When I was first diagnosed they put me on metformin…I stopped after a couple weeks because it made me soooo sick. Then…

pretty much ditto for me too ^^ i've had it in both my feet for nearly as long as this person. my diet has nothing to do with it (other than eating too much and being overweight as the problem!) inserts in shoes is the key for me! the only time it ever went away for me is in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. but as soon as…

both these ^^ i'd definitely address it as concern for being depressed. good luck!

both of these .... exactly^^^

thank you! edited to fix quotes

ditto^^ (I have started stronglifts 5x5 app (did day 2 yesterday), but it seems too easy/not enough....only 3 moves?! i feel like i'm doing something wrong)

i was taking: bladderwrack (seaweed (full of iodine)) Vitex (angus cactus/chasteberry) saw palmetto maca root vitamin d iron (just a couple days during TOM otherwise i'm narcoleptic) now: vitamin D iron (just a couple days during TOM otherwise i'm narcoleptic) the others did nothing for me and i was on them for a few…

i agree with everything that everyone has said so far. i will also say this, i have never been faithful to anyone in my life except ONE.....my now husband, and we've been together for 8 years this oct. people CAN change, they just have to WANT to!!

totally needed to see this today!!^^ and i'm in for other answers too!!

i like coconut oil in my coffee i use it as a face moisturizer (w/ tea tree oil - i have bad acne) i use it as a deodorant (with arrow root, and baking soda and lavender oil- there's recipes on the web) i use it to fry sometimes, although olive oil is a habit

i thought i understood my fitbit and the cals in/cals out , now i'm more confused than ever!!

we did something very similar to this! we had a co-ed 'shower' but it was a wine tasting and had food. some people brought gifts. and we opened them. i think we did a COUPLE of games. it was a lot of fun. and neither of us had a bachelor/bachelorette party

must be time to go home for the day since i cant stop laughing from reading this! ^^

i'm down to one cup a day and it's with 2 packets of truvia and 2 oz of 1/2&1/2but i absolutely LOVE it with heavy cream, just can't afford the cals of that most days!

if you read the OP, she is doing low carb because she has an issue similar to PCOS which does tend to fair better with low carb! i totally agree with this!!^^ i tried VERY low carb (like 20-50g or less) and found my body/mind could NOT handle it! i became RAGEFULL (that is how i show depression) and since i upped my carbs…

currently re-reading The Crimson Petal and the White by Michael Faber (last read over 10 yrs ago)

i took 4 hrs to respond as my BF is 39%

totally this. ^^ instead of taking things away, set up rewards.

i haven't had a chance to read all the answers others have given yet, but this is what we've done: at the end of the week, they get a reward if they've stayed in their rooms all night, for the whole week. so far we've gone camping, went to a science center, a day of swimming. it can be anything you or they/she chooses and…

lately i've been spending $200 a week for a family of 5, and that includes diapers and hygiene products too. this does not include eating out though. my kids eat like adults and the baby goes through 4 gallons of milk a week (i get her organic and that's pricey at $6 a gallon, but that's what i was spending on raw milk…

this ^^ for me too!
