You look fantastic! Such a dramatic difference and it's wonderful to hear of your progress.

You look fantastic!!

Hi, Good for you for doing this for yourself this time! You can do this!

I have PCOS and insulin resistance. A year ago the Doctor wanted me to take Metformin, but I took if for 2 days and felt awful. Said the heck with that and stopped taking them (of course I immediately informed my physician). April 23/24 of this year is when I decided it is time to lose the weight and get fit and healthy. I…

I have a Fitbit one as well (love it!) If I do cardio/strength training or activities that I am expending more energy (i.e. using my arms) I will enter that in as exercise in MFP. It then seamlessly tracks with the Fitbit. For example, I use my treadmill a lot for cardio, but I play around with my incline. My norm incline…

I have the Fitbit One and have been using it for about 5 weeks, thus far. I absolutely love it and so glad I purchased it. I have not tried the flex so I cannot state anything about the flex. In terms of the One, I do wear it all day—even at night to track my sleep pattern. Sometimes I notice if I am not sleeping well that…

Hi, I have PCOS—and so glad I am not alone on that one. It can be a challenge, that is for sure, but making those small steps towards progress. My symptoms: My menstrual cycle is finally regular (definitely wasn’t always that way. I could go 6+ months with no period). I am not trying to get pregnant now, though I did go…

It is wonderful that this morning something clicked for you. I experienced the same thing. Decided one day “that’s it, I’m doing this.” Good luck to you this time (you can do it!!)

I keep my food diary private for several reasons. I am not eating unhealthy, nor hiding any type of overeating/under-eating patterns. I prefer the privacy. I am aware of what I put into my mouth, I do weigh my food, and I choose healthy food options. I would rather avoid someone looking at my diary and providing me with…

Interesting thread. Positives: Determined, intelligent, empathetic, organized, leader Negatives: I am prone to over think things. I can be hard on myself when I don’t meet my high expectations. During fall/spring semesters I work too much and don’t get enough “me” time. I don’t have as much patience as I should. I’m slow…

Thank You :smile:

Hi! Good to "meet" you. Just sent a friend request.

Hi, I am also a graduate student and can relate the stress of it. I work at a university (lots of time spent on my tush with my nose in books/on the computer) and then with graduate school work more time on my tush (with my nose in books/on the computer). I took a break from school this summer to work on my lifestyle…
