I started MFP in February 2010, I was 240 @ 5'4". I have always been overweight. I cut out all sodas and began logging my foods and trying to stay within my goals. I sit at a desk all day and have very little time for exercise afterwards. Once the weight started coming off from eating properly, I find I have a lot more…

My mother-in-law makes the best ham. Its HORRIBLE for the waist line, but oh so good!! She pours a can of coca cola onto the ham, then pours a small box of brown sugar onto the ham. She presses the brown sugar onto the ham so that it sticks and makes the skin have a little "crunch" to it. Then she puts pineapple rings held…

I would definitely talk to a dr about the possibility of you having PCOS. You may want to do some research and see if you have any other symptoms. PCOS's symptoms vary from person to person, but with the excess facial hair and irregular cycles, I'd think you probably have it..... :frown: its no fun. If you don't have…

His brother met my brother online and they became good friends. One day he tagged along with his brother and came over to my parents house. I was there dropping off my ex bf's things for him to come get so I wouldn't have to deal with him. I never knew he existed until he walked through the door. He immediately caught my…

Do you have regular cycles?

It was my OBGYN that tried the Spirolactilone and a few others I cant remember the names of. I moved to a different state about a year ago, and now I see a Family Dr and she had me try the metformin for a while. Nothing at all has helped. Its the most embarrassing thing in the world. =(

I have PCOS and have fought this issue for years. I tried Spirolactilone, it didn't work for me. I also tried Metformin, and a few other meds, nothing even slowed it down..... =( I hope you get better results!! Good luck to you on your journey!

YES!!!! OMG, I thought I was going crazy!! I actually had my Dr give me meds for anxiety. I get soooo moody, and every once and a while start to feel like I'm having a panic attack. I felt normal before the weight loss, and now, I'm super moody...all the time.... SO glad to see i'm not alone!

I'd like to join, but have never joined a group before. I've always been curious as to how this works. Please message me in case I cant find this thread again!!

Same thing here! My wedding set is a 9 3/4, and we went two weeks ago and bought me an "upgrade" for our 10th anniversary coming up in February. My new set is an 8 because its such a thick band, but I can fit a 7 1/2 easily now. I was stunned to see that I could fit those sizes!! I've NEVER been smaller than a 9 since jr…

I made this and it was AMAZING!! I am not a fan of spinach, but this was super yummy!! I don't remember the calories, but I added all the calories together for all the ingredients, then divided it by how many shells it made. I think it was right around 100 cals/shell. I bought "light" ingredients when making this dish, and…

Maybe tell her you are looking for a "walking/exercising friend" and see if she would be open to the idea of working out with you. Make it about you not wanting to do it alone, and would love for her company to help you get through it. Be very careful not to make it seem like she needs to loose weight, if she's overweight,…

I gave it up for lent, cold turkey. I didn't suffer with the headaches, but did get a few bouts of anxiety. Now every once and a while I will take a sip of my husband's soda, and its so gross! I only drink water now, and when I go to a restaurant, I'll squeeze some lemon in my water. For me, it worked, and now I don't even…

Seems like your body is in starvation mode, and it will cling to everything you eat until you can get in the routine of regularly eating. I would consult a doctor asap. Even if you are overweight, you may be extremely malnourished and can be doing damage to your organs. Good luck on your journey!

I am 100% with you on this one!!! I started in February at 240, I am now 190. I've lost 50lbs, and I really don't see it. People tell me they see it, and I'm down from a 22/24 jean to a loose size 16, but I just don't see it. I've got another 25-50 to go to get to my goal, so I'm hoping I see more of a change then!! I did…

I started this journey in February at 240lbs. I have lost 50lbs with very little exercise. I have changed my eating habits into eating many small meals throughout the day. I've really made an honest effort to try to make healthier choices. I read labels, limit my sugar and drink plenty of water. I have 8oz of Silk Almond…

I'm in a similar situation...kind of... lol My husband and I married VERY young ( I was 20 and he had just turned 18) and in February 2012 we will celebrate our 10th anniversary. We have decided to renew our vows on the beach in Gulf Shores, AL next upcoming March. I found my dream dress for the ceremony and purchased it a…

I personally don't. I've read tons on this, some people swear by it, some say don't do it. I don't stress if I go over my goal if I have extra exercise calories, but I don't "try" to eat them all back.

I too am looking for low sugar alternatives without it having Sorbitol or Aspartame. I cannot stand the aftertaste of those!! I suffer from PCOS and one of the things I need to limit is my sugar intake. Unfortunately most of the "healthy" bars, cereals, yogurts, etc are LOADED with sugar, or sorbitol, or aspartame. So it's…

He was totally trying to check you out!! That was VERY inappropriate and you need to report him! The shorter your shorts, the farther he can see up them while you are working out! You should be able to work out without having Creepy Old Man trying to sneak a peak!! On a side note: way to go!! Keep up the good work!! =D

Being from south Louisiana, I've eaten seafood all of my life. Fast forward to 20 yrs old, I meet my boyfriend's family (husband now) and have a crawfish boil. I go into full blown allergic reaction. =( It's happened again a few times and each time its gotten worse. I now can no longer have any type of shellfish! =( Sucks,…

You need to print that, and put it somewhere and read it daily. Keeping your mind on the words you just wrote, there's no way you'll fail at this! That's inspiration at its best!! =D

I've been captain of a Relay for Life team since around 2004 in Thibodaux, La and served on the committee in 2008, 2009 & 2010 I believe. I've moved to Orange, Tx, in 2010 but still am on a team for Thibodaux's Relay. I plan on attending the Orange, Tx one in May! =D I <3 Relay!

I have a pretty Fleur De Lis with a blue crown across the small middle part representing my home state (LA) and my 5 year old son. I have it on top of my foot so that when I want to show it off I can, and when it's appropriate to cover it up, all I have to do is put on a closed in shoe. It's my only tattoo, and other than…

I'm sort of the opposite. As of today, I've lost 42lbs and gone from a size 22-24 pants to a very comfortable size 16!! =D BUT I only went from a 2-3XL shirt to a XL/XXL. So, I've lost 3-4 pants sizes, but only 1 shirt size. But I've got to say....I'll take the 1 shirt size loss happily, at least its a loss!! Good luck to…

Def live together first!! Would you buy a car without test driving it??? Some people, no matter how much they love each other, just may not be compatible to live together.

Sounds to me like you are not eating enough. You are loosing weight way too fast. MFP reccomends 1-2 lbs a week, 9lbs in less than two weeks can be dangerous.

Google "Exercise ball routines" and go from there. I printed up quite a few different exercises and they show you step by step with pictures exactly how to do them. Make a small binder and pick a few to do each day! Good Luck!!
