you gave us your weight, but not your height. DONT go by lbs necessarily without looking at your height. the other thing is, look at your BMI. If it is within the healthy range than to heck with the lbs. Your family? i get it. but hon parents are going to worry about their daughters no matter what. You will never stop it…

lol i think most of us do that. I eat relatively healthy but about a week before ToM lol i get cravings for everything NOT healthy lol
-
i dont know. in the mornings i like to snack on carrot sticks, fruits, kraft 100 calorie packs of cheese etc. During the afternoon, i LOVE bumble bee's tuna or chicken salad with wheat crackers, or a few wheat thin crackers wtih some bumble bee flavored tuna like lemon/herb or their their sundried tomato/basil. I may have…

At night during your sleep your body is working hard to repair and rejuvinate lost/dead cells and all the stuff you put it through during the day. After your body goes into over time like that, you need a breakfast to give it nutrients.

dont EVER give up. Hon i have PCOS and low thyroid. Both condition that not only make it nearly impossible to lose weight, but PCOS makes you gain. I worked out 75 min a day at Golds, for 5 days a week for a year and lost 2 lbs in that year. I KNOW how frustrating it can be. and i DID give up. Every dr always told me watch…

lol ok so this is gospel according to me LOL not that its worth much :) . When i first started on here i was keeping close to exactly what my goal was on here. i was working out 60 min a day, plus i walk around alot at work. I was losing about a lb a day *thanks to some medications* i was doing GREAT. But then my personal…

im with you you on this. have 2 things going against me. i have PCOS and extremely low, almst non existant thyroid. Both conditions that make it impossible to lose weight! Once i got on medication, i was amazed at my energy level.i cant i imagine how i functioned without it now that i have the energy. So i work out more…
-
no you should never work out if you are sick, even just a cold is questionable. Because its easy to become dehydratd when you're sick. So you need to rest, get your fluids and take care of yourself.

I am seeing a nurse practicioner for mine. I worked out 70 min a day 5 days a week for a year and lost 2 lbs. it started when i was married and trying to get pregnant and couldnt. the dr told me i MAY have it but never checked me for it or tested me. that was when i was 23. i just recently turned 40. Years of going to dr's…

i am the same way. I have always tried to eat relatively healthy. I almost never eat sweets. but about 1 1/2 weeks before ToM i will eat anything NOT nailed down. particulary potatos/pastas/starches, and chocolate, chocolate chocolate lol. I am of the belief that if you are eating healthy and in moderation the rest of the…
-
a few things i have learned. Because i just never have had a big appetite, and im on medication that decreases appetite even more :( . I am usually waaaay below my calories, like less than 1100, and when i go through periods like that? i lose NOTHING! I have found when i eat very close to what my allowance is on here? i do…

-
feel free to add me, i'm new and would loe to get a bit of support group of my own started lol :)
-
i think it was too much heat, good work out and then the sauna.....definately need to hydrate. Also could be low blood sugar. I would recommend a small bit of protein about 45 min before you work out and then something, rather it be a small bit of cheese, sliced turkey, anything like that after you work out
-
lol congrats its those little things. I remember when i started on my medications for my PCOS and i started losing weight. i looked in the mirror one day and got all excited i could see space between my arms and my waist lol there was light at the end of that tunnel LOL. its those little things that make every day of…
-
just endurance.....keep going at it and you'll increase your endurance. when i have had pt's who have had pneumonia and CPOD, i have them take a big balloon and see how much air they can get into the balloon at once, so take as deep of a breath as you absolutely can then inhale into the balloon until you have no air left.…

I am a physical therapist assistant and work in an ortho rehab clinic :) i am new to this thing so dont know how to add a friend but friend me if you'd like. I have PCOS, it doesnt matter how much knowledge and skill you have, we tend to be our own worst patients. But as you know.....this is do-able. This is a great…
-
it really does sound like you arent eating enough. Plus remember when you start working out you're going to get more cravings. LOL i fell into that trap and so i wouldnt eat then realized my work out wasnt as effective. The more you work out the more your body needs to use to burn....lol like running your car on an empty…

To be honest, one of the things i tell myself and all my friends, a little mint of wisdom (thanks to WW's) and just from my career training. Once in a while having those little treats, a small piece of chocolate, or that little bit of ice cream etc. is good for you. If you starve yourself of those treats on a regular basis…
