Thanks so much! :D

I know it sounds difficult, but you should plan your meals ahead of time. Buy yourself a really cute lunch bag with matching thermoses (this is the one I bought: http://www.target.com/p/Thermos-9-Can-Lunch-Duffle-with-Flower/-/A-13026816), so that it gives you a little encouragement to bring your meals everyday. If I were…

I'm PCOSer, too! You should DEFINITELY be taking all of your Metformin. It will work WONDERS for your weight loss. I've been reading so many books on PCOS, and they all say the same. Watch your sugar and carbohydrates. I limit myself to 100/110 carbs everyday. I eat as clean and organic as possible, and I ALWAYS ALWAYS…

I'm totally in! Hope you're still open!!! :D

I have PCOS and insulin resistance, so I too am very addicted to sugar. I have been cutting back significantly and using Stevia instead of all other sugars, real and artificial alike. I have been reading a lot of books and articles on PCOS and sugar, and the tip I keep reading over and over again is to eat protein with any…

bump bump bump! love cucumber boats!!!!

I LOVE it! I try to drink 2 cups (the size of my travel mug) every morning! I buy the regular Lipton brand, but I've heard great things about other brands too! I like to sweeten it with just a bit of Stevia, and it's perfect! It's really great for cleaning toxins out of your system and it helps boost your metabolism. I…

There is actually something called "The Golden Hour" and for an hour after a really good workout your body burns calories and carbs much more quickly than usual. If you want that carb-y burger or high cal protein shake, that's the best time to have it! You can look up tons of info about it! Good luck!

If you have Pandora, the BEST station ever for cardio is using Mariah Carey's song "It's Like That" to make your own station. Every song on there is cardio genius! And I've been listening to LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem and Selena Gomez & The Scene - Who Says over and over again!

I feel your pain!!!! :sad:

I am a HUGE chocolate junkie! Anything and everything should just be chocolate flavored zero calorie everything. LOL Since it's not, I usually buy the bars of Ghirardelli Intense Dark Midnight Reverie 86% Cacao. They are DEELISH! The serving size is 4 squares at 250 calories, but I usually only eat two squares and pair it…

I actually take OxyElite Pro from GNC and I think it works great. I have tons of energy without feeling jittery and I feel like a whole new person. It also helps to curb the hunger pains if you're reducing your calorie intake. I work out everyday and eat healthy, so I'm just supplementing. I also take a multi-vitamin, so…

ugh. I feel like such a bum! I have all of her DVDs (including 30DS) and I want to do this so bad with you guys! I've been trying to get over a severe sinus infection and I am like completely drained. I don't care what happens, I'm doing this with you guys, I just might be a few days behind! Keep up the excellent work you…

I would LOVE to do this! I'm mildly obsessed with Jillian, so this would be GREAT! Plus, it's much more fun to work out with friends!

I totally agree with you! I would just rather not eat out and avoid having to make the tough decisions and feeling like crap afterwards. I just need to keep my fridge stocked and all my veggies and fruit cut up and portioned. (I bought a food scale at a dollar store and stand by my words when I say it's the best dollar I…

Feel free to add me! And good luck on your journey!

OOO! LOVE these. They are KILLER, but I love them. I like using 3lb weights to work bi/triceps too! Great idea!

It's the worst to stop eating something that used to bring you so much comfort. You're doing so great though, and that definitely counts for something! If you MUST go out for fast food, get the salads (no dressing, just use your own at home!). Subway is my go-to fast food, but when a drive thru is a must, I stick with…

Count me in! I'm 5'0'' with 60-70lbs to lose! Short and stout for sure! This sounds like fun :) Feel free to friend me ladies!

You guys have given me such good ideas! So many songs I forgot about! Some I have on my list are: Benny Benassi - Cinema (Skrillex Remix) (Anything by Skrillex really...lol) Beyonce - Crazy In Love/Single Ladies Jennifer Lopez - Get Right Mariah Carey - It's Like That Fergie - Fergalicious Danity Kane - Damaged/Show…

This is a really great idea! And if you are still looking I am totally volunteering! If you've already found someone and know of anyone else who needs a partner, send them my way!

Hey! I'm Renee and I'm 24. I too am TTC soon and it depends almost solely on me losing weight. I have PCOS, so getting my weight under control is what's going to ensure healthy ovulation and pregnancies! Welcome to MFP and feel free to add me! Good luck with everything!

I would love love love to! I need a little competition to keep me on track!!!! I'd love to be at 180 by then!

Thanks for the tips! I measure and portion my food religiously and that really helps me to recognize appropriate portions. I just need ideas to increase my calorie intake. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you all so much for the tips!! As for the starvation concerns...I'm never starving! I feel like I'm eating constantly. lol maybe I'm just eating the wrong things, so I'm definitely going to start adding more to each meal. The reason I am adamant about carbs is because I am insulin resistant and EXTREMELY sensitive to…

So glad you guys like them! It's super pivotal to my success that I don't feel deprived of anything, so sometimes I have to get creative!!! lol

I was having the same problem once I started eating right (which seems backwards to me lol)! I add a scoop of Benefiber everyday to my cereal or yogurt or any drink. It's completely tasteless and it seems to help a lot. For instant relief...as silly as it sounds, a nice big cup of coffee will usually do the trick! :)

lol I know, I feel like these suckers are with me until the very end! I have them on my chest, arms, and lower abdomen (I got these when I started gaining weight rapidly in my teens after diagnosed with PCOS). I'm grateful they're not red or bright pink and tanning DOES help to blend them, I guess I'm just picky! lol One…

White bread is made using wheat at its least nutritional state (removing the bran and germ). Then they spray nutrition back into it with manmade chemicals. Afterwards, it's bleached using chemicals that are/can be used as pesticides. It has nothing to do with diabetes. I think it's more to do with feeling GOOD after you…

I would start by cutting portion sizes of them and eventually replacing them altogether. Dreamfields pasta brand is really good and low carb! I limit myself to 100 carbs a day, so when I do eat them, I make sure they're good ones that are worth it. Uncle Ben's has whole grain brown ready rice that's delicious and SO EASY!…
