  • I'm about to start the paleo lifestyle...right now. I'm heading to my local farmers market in about 30 minutes. The first week or two might not be that great, as I'm learning how eat. I will, say, that last year I lost 55 lbs staying focused on eating 100g of carbs a day that weren't refined carbs. I took the winter off…

  • Doctors aren't always right. I have PCOS and have lost up to 12lbs in a month (eating lots of protein, good carbs, drinking tons of water, and walking).

  • Ms. ljbrauer! I soooooooooooooo understand your struggle, but you will overcome! I have PCOS, but it used to HAVE ME! I went into denial for years about it and got up to 294lbs (as of January 2011) but I’m down to 264 and I started the last week of January. I led a sedentary life, but 2009-2010 was the FIRST YEAR I’d never…
