You came a long way in two weeks! Even your back looks noticeably thinner! I have PCOS too. I've lost nearly 60 pounds so far, and the protein shakes have really helped me as well. Definitely stick with those. Also try cinnamon... it helps with insulin resistance, and I find I can get away with adding it to all sorts of…

Hey, so thanks again for all the help. I've eaten as directed (with some minor cheating, I confess!) for the last two weeks. I haven't seen any net loss. BUT, my period is going on at the moment. Maybe when it's done, I'll see some progress. I'll get back to you in a couple days with more details. One thing that worries me…

Okay, thanks! Can you give me any rudimentary guidelines for cardio? Is there any danger of me over-cardioing, or is that more main forum hype? I'm running and walking 5x a week, but my stamina is still super low so it's not like I'm running for 2 hours solid or anything. I'm still doing baby-Stronglifts but unable to add…

Thank you very much! I'm excited to start eating these macros and see what happens. Should 1450 be my goal every day, regardless of if I work out or not? In other words, should I be eating back workout calories so that MFP lists my net as 1450 on workout days? (Apologies if I missed a thread somewhere that already answers…

Thank you! I really want to break this plateau, but this week I didn't have it in me to try eating even less. So (partially inspired by this article http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/3047-700-calories-a-day-and-not-losing ) I went in the opposite direction, and I've been eating more -- and experimenting with adding…

Yup! I weigh everything. For snacks like nuts or cheese, I even pre-weigh and put it into baggies with the weight written on them, to keep me from snitching extra out of the original container.

I realize my posts tend to be a little tldr (sorry), so I want to summarize everything in one shot so you won't have to wade through my verbal effluent in order to get the info you need for your calculations: - 24 yr female - 145 lbs, 24% bf - low carbing -- usually 20-30 grams a day - ate 1200-1300 average net calories…

Absolutely not a problem! Update on my situation: on the 15th, I had a cheat day :| It was a birthday and I was frustrated so I just said screw it. NOT normal for me -- last time this happened was July 4th. Next day, I did cardio and was surprised at how easy it felt. I went for an hour and could have gone longer.…

Thank you for looking into my case! I almost always build my recipes from scratch. I don't eat a lot of "recipes" though. If I do, they're low carb and generally from http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/ . The exception to this (and this may be what you are referring to) is the homemade cake I had recently. I just pulled that out…

:0 That is really incredible!
