Hi Ladies! I have PCOS, was diagnosed in my early 20's. I found MFP a couple years ago, and by learning proper portions and trying to stay in my calorie goal I managed to loose 65lbs in about a year and a half I believe. My goal weight was 175. I wasn't "trying" to conceive as the Drs had told me for years that it was…

I started this program two years ago, and after a year of logging and a 65 pound loss, I was finally able to conceive. My baby is now 7 months old! It can happen! Now I'm trying to tone back up and get back on track to loosing again. 15 more pounds to pre baby weight!

I have no idea the calorie or sodium content, but the A-1 New Orleans Marinade is to die for! SOO good!

I have PCOS and had trouble conceiving. We had our first when I was 24, and then our second at 31 (he's 4 months old now). We tried for number two, since our oldest (now 7) was 10 months old. My Dr's pretty much told me that it wasn't possible. I was 240lbs, and very unhealthy. I found MFP, and within a year I had dropped…

HI! I am here to tell you all DON'T GIVE UP!!! I started MFP at 29yrs old, and at my heaviest 240lbs. I also also have PCOS. I've been overweight since childhood. My husband and I married in 2002 and it took us until 2006 before we finally were able to have a child. Years of trying with no luck, and Six months of fertility…

Take a cute picture of the kids, print out a copy and put it in a decent frame. Let the kids give him that. You could even make it an annual tradition. Make it fun for the kids by letting them choose a theme, location, etc. Shouldn't cost too much, its from the heart, and from the kids. You should not have to spend a ton…

My husband and I both have Iphones, we downloaded educational games, books and such on our phones to occupy our son when on long trips, Dr visits, grocery shopping etc. He loved the games and we considered buying him an ipod touch so that he can play with his own and not use ours anymore. Needless to say they were VERY…

Started MFP February of 2011 @ 240 (highest weight). I'm only 5'4 so i was very heavy. I'm 30 years old going on 31 in less than a month. I'm now 178 but my weight loss is on hold for about 9 months as I'm now pregnant. My original goal was 175 and I hit that number the day after I found out we were expecting. My new goal…

Don't stress about your weight for your wedding. It didn't happen for you. Doesn't mean you can't loose weight for your future. Your wedding day is about so much happiness and joy. It's a day to celebrate your love for one another. Don't let your weight ruin such a special time in your life. My husband and I just…

Congrats!!!! I know how excited you are because I just found out that we are expecting also! I'm due Jan. 9th! Yay for babies!!

Y'all need to have a conversation about it. He may not realize that it bothers you so much. He may assume that this is what it is like to live with someone. The household duties should be shared. He shouldn't just expect you to take care of everything. If a civil conversation about this topic cannot be had, I would…

Silk Almond Unsweetened Milk. VERY low in calories, more calcium than regular milk! Its awesome!

Maybe if you can squeeze it in, take the baby for a stroller ride and get a 20-30 min walk in. Then when you get back, the husband can give the baby her bath while you take care of finishing up homework, dishes, etc. Its super hard, but you've got to make some time for yourself. On the days my husband works late, I take my…

Got the Life-Korn always gets me pumped! (not sure if that would be considered hard rock tho!)

Congrats!! My husband and I just renewed our vows to celebrate our 10th anniversary a few weeks ago! Such a special time in your life! Take time on your wedding day to enjoy it! It FLYS by!!!

I've never had panic attacks until I started MFP. My doctor thinks it could be a sugar issue. I've drastically reduced my sugar intake to help out with my PCOS and stay in line with what MFP suggests, and most of my attacks come late at night. She thinks that my body is just low on fuel/sugar at that point and it flares up…

For better or worse, in sickness and in health. If she's not ready to make that vow to you, then it's best that you give her the space she wants. If she doesn't feel it whole heartedly then you may be the broken hearted one at the end of it all. Sounds like you both need to work through some issues, and make yourselves…

Please send me an invite as well, I have not gotten to the 100lb lost yet, but I will. I am determined to no longer be overweight! And I'm even more determined to prove that it can be done without any pills, drinks, starvation or other crazy tricks!

I LOVED THIS!!!! I would get SO mad when I couldn't find a piece!! I had forgotten all about it! Thanks for the reminder!! =D

I've done something similar to this..... at 10lbs, I went to the store and picked up a bag of potatoes, at 30lbs I picked up a medium size of dog food. At 42lbs I picked up my 6 year old and carried him around. At 50lbs I tried to pick up a large bag of dog food, but it was too bulky for me to get a good grip. I'm now at…

Peanut butter on wheat, eggs, cereal and milk, shrimp, crawfish, crabs..... in the south Lent is just an excuse for us to eat all the boiled seafood we can!

I sit down at a desk all day Mon-Fri 7am-4pm. Most of the time I get no exercise at all in. So on weekends when I spend the day busting butt and cleaning house, I do log that as calories burned. I feel that the amount of calories burned that MFP shows on the site is a little excessive, so I usually log half the time I…

Got the Life - Korn...... LOVE this song for running!!

If he came up behind you and put his hands on you, and made a comment like that to you, it is UNACCEPTABLE! To me, that's borderline sexual harassment. I would report him, ASAP! If he can't control himself in a work environment, then he should NOT be working near children! This makes me sick just thinking about what he…

Personally, I would rather trips (any place) over gifts any day. The memories made there will last forever, while most times you can't remember the gift your significant other gave you the last birthday. The place looks amazing. Be sure to plan something special (massage (given to each other), candle lit dinner, or…
