WOW :drinker: AWESOME!!! You should be so proud!!!!! I am inspired!!:happy:

I know how frustrating it can be I have gained and lost the same five pounds for 9 weeks now. All you can do is do your very best. Make sure you are staying within your calories and you are eating them smart. Make sure you are getting enough exercise and most importantly make sure you are happy. If all these are in line…

Some good warm and fuzzy's to start the day, thank you!

I would suggest eating more often during the day try and eat every couple of hours even just something quick and small like some fruit or nuts. I would also say that it was a good idea to hide your scale. I had to do the same. I was too focussed on the number as opposed to how I was feeling which is GREAT :happy: Stay…

I do have an obsession with the scal e as well. I have to stop because it ruins my day since it is often up instead of down. This morning....(OK UGLY TRUTH) I got up at 5am to do my run and weighed myslef and I was so discouraged I ahd gained two pounds that I went back to bed....I know, AWFUL :blushing: I think I need a…

You have to make time for you! Consider your food logging as YOU time. Thats what I have to do. You have done so well dont give up now!

I used to go out alot but not so much anymore....I enjoy being home with my bf and my kids and plus after two kdis and two jobs and cookign and cleaning most nights I am too tired for anything else lol

Well said!! In the past i have always given up at this point since weight loss is so very difficult for me with PCOS. I am not giving up. I am staying focussed as hard as it is and I use the support of this site everyday!! Congrats on your success and good luck in the future

Maybe try giving your met a boost, try having an over calorie day...just one and not necessarliy bad food just alot of food just for one day. I have heard shaking it up like that sometimes works well. I am no expert just my two cents.

CONGRATS!! :happy:

I am on Metformin three times a day and it sucks lol No I have not had my dose adjusted since I lost the weight I have been on three day for years I know I dont eat amazing....I look at other diaries who eat all this fruit and protein powder and oatmeal concoctions for lunch and stuff and I am not at that place lol but I…

Thank you to everyone that has replied. I do eat spread over the day I eat at 545am after my run, 9am, noon, 2pm and 6pm. I do have a heart monitor so I know my calories burned are right. I do eat back my exercise calories. I do have PCOS but take my medication faithfully for it. I do eat whole grains (try to limit carbs)…

Dear PCOS, GET LOST!! Since I was young you have made me fat and made it close to impossible to lose any weight no matter how hard I work. You make it impossible for me to feel comfortabl ein my own skin. You caused facial hair which couldnt make me feel less attractive, stretch marks which I will never get rid of, mood…

Love Almonds!!:happy: I laos cant be without Salsa, the fresh kind from the Deli with no preservatives I use it on and in everything!! :flowerforyou:

A new fav of mine, cut up cucumbers mixed with salsa (I buy the fresh stuff from the deli) and feta cheese, so good!!!

Great positive attitude!! Keep up the good work. I agree I feel so much better. I havent seen the scal move in a while but feeling pretty darn good and starting to notice big changes. The random compliments are nice too!

Well I am a female but I am 6ft tall and I currently weight 233 (started at 289) the program gives me a daily intake goal of 1950 but I reduced it to 1600 but I would say he should hit at least 1900 net ....hope this helps.

My wost habbit was rewarding myslef with food and comforting myself with food so if I had a bad day I would give my self a free pass to eat junk or if I had a great day and acheived something I would reward myself with junk. So now I try and find other rewards/comfort so when I have a bad day I de-stress with a good hard…

Good for you!!! Im jelous. I also started my jouney (before mfp) at 289lbs. I am now down to 233 but have been at this weight now for three weeks, cant seem to push through. I am going on a trip in January and my goal is to be under 200lbs when I go which I have not been since I was a kid. My final Goal is to be 189lbs but…

Little things that make you smile that much dont count as long as you arent baking a cake every day lol

More people should have your attitude....Im going to take your advice. Making people feel good makes you feel good! You are a nice person. enjoy your day and be proud of who you are.

Im overweight because I was eating very bad choices of food, I want to lose weight because I want to be healthy and be around for my kids and be a role model for them but most importantly I feel GOOD in my skin. I have not been successful in the past because it was never about me and now it is.

I always try and pick which meal I know I really want or have no choice about (like eating out or going to a party or something) and then I add that in right away so that I can plan the rest of my day around it. For example I promised my kids we could have chicken fajitas tonight so this morning I put in my dinner so I…

I was also diagnosed with PCOS as a teen. I am now 30 and I have always had trouble with weight loss. I am also on Metformin. It helps a little. I find each pound is a struggle. Feel free to add me if you want someone who will totally understand the frustrations!

Feel free to add me, Im big on support and motivation!

The Hellmans' half the fat is actually pretty good. I have also tried it with low fat calorie wise ranch dressing also good.

I have no idea where they get it but I am a 30 year old female and started at 238lbs and i am six feet tall and they gave me 1950 before exercise and I thought that was way too high so I only eat 1600 a day but I am not losing very fast at all. I have been on here almost two months and I have only lost 5lbs so maybe I am…

I was 289lbs when I got pregnant for baby #1 and I lost 35lbs during pregnancy just by eating healthy and taking care of myself.

I would say dont give up until you talk to your doctor. There may be something else that is going on and once you have it figured out the weight will come off. Plus just being healthier is worth it. I understan dyour frustration I have been on here for about six weeks now and I have only lost 5lbs. I have at least 40lbs…

I hear ya. I have been on hear for a month and I have only lost 5lbs. I went from eating AWFUL and probably 2500 calories a day and no real exercise to NOW eating under 1600 calories a day, all....ok mostly healthy food LOL and running on my eliptical trainer every morning (5kms in 20 mins) and lifting weights every night.…
