This might explain your headaches too. And being on 1,000mg of metformin (for PCOS) while only eating 1200 calories is NOT SAFE.

Jo...are you kidding me? There is NO WAY 1200 calories is appropriate for you per day. You are absolutely ridiculous and not eating and then splurging is going to just cause up and down weight. How about you do it in a more healthy manner? And before anyone yells at me, I am her wife and this is the first I've heard of a…

Wow! That is quite a story...I am so sorry you have been through this, but thank god it was caught and you are still alive! 27% is a terrible ejection fracture, I imagine you get tired SO easily. I actually had a cardiac catheterization in late April and that said my EF was actually 60% instead of 40-48% that the Echo…

I found out I had PCOS when I also was TTC way back in 1997! I ultimately had to use injectible fertility meds to get pregnant as losing weight didn't help. I was creating eggs but didn't have enough LH to kick them out! I got pregnant in May 1998 but lost the baby and my left fallopian tube due to an ectopic…

Thank you both for the idea of figuring out what is making me gag and just chugging that on its own....I made a juice that had broccoli in it and quite frankly it smelled like vomit no matter how many apples I added. So that one is going down the drain! Carrots are REALLY hard for me, I had to add a bunch of apples last…

Thank you so much! I never thought of stevia, but that is a great idea...and thank you for that website, I am heading there now to find something I can actually enjoy!

So I am on day 2 of my first attempt at a juice fast. Silly me forgot I had a fundraiser dinner last night and I ate solid food after only juice all day. I started on the mean green and I am sorry but it makes me GAG and I just have to chug and then chug water right after. I have always HATED veggies, except spinach, and…

I am 38yrs old, 299lbs and in the last 3 months I have found out that I have heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and left ventricle systolic function. This is on top of Asthma, psoriasis, peripheral neuropathy, chronic pain, severe migraines and other stuff I can't remember right now. My father juices (I am in NY, he is…

Well its been over a year and I am at my heaviest. Sadly, I am 192lbs today. I was just diagnosed with mild congestive heart failure and if I DONT lose the weight and start exercising I will die. I am 38, I have 2 13yr old kids and just married my wife in Oct 2012. BUT I am back here, for the third time and I am trying...

Hi Everyone....thanks for posting, I hope that we can all support each other, because I for one am scared to death about my diagnosis. Med2017...that dx sounds scary...what exactly does it mean and were you just recently diagnosed? Kristine...thanks for the prayers, I know that we really need it. Sounds like you went…

Hello my soon to be Bride...I have 80 to lose after dropping 50 last year and gaining it ALL back and then some. YOU, however, don't have 50 to lose...30 at most!!!

You forgot to mention that your partner (me) is genderqueer/trans-ish...I dont want hormones but I had top surgery. I also gave birth to a child. I am confusing and so to most people I am just a freak. Of course I am still figuring this all out within myself and I am 37! To be honest, the weight I have carried has been a…

Hi everyone! My name is Rebecca and I am 37yrs old. I am the biological mom of a 12 1/2 year old daughter and non-biological mom to a 12 1/2 year old son...they are 4 days apart! My partner Jo is also on here as we are trying to get more fit as a family in general. I have always been fat. There was a time when I was 19…

CONGRATS on your upcoming wedding!!!! Jo and I are planning to get married in the next year now that NY finally passed the law... I think you just have to laugh sometimes....it is just funny. I dont understand why people feel a need to inform me that I'm in the wrong bathroom...even if I was, who cares??? Both sexes use…

Okay..I am learning how to quote! xo That is my life. I had an old woman actually block my entry to the bathroom with her body! Her daughter was so embarrassed...but I was amused. I get dirty looks at the locker rooms, the bathrooms...anywhere I guess my gender identity isn't supposed to be! But I dont really mind…

Where in NY are you? We are in Albany and girl we would love to talk in person... My wife did the bisexual thing to be normal (although her parents were not as mean) and has a son with her ex husband (I'm the reason he's an ex) and can relate a LOT. I half-heartedly gave boys a try in HS but it never worked so I have…

This is such a difficult topic to navigate because it is so damn PERSONAL! Speaking for myself, a 37yr old, very masculine butch (I dont mind that title at all) genderqueer, mother of 2 (one of which *I* birthed!), and married to a very femme woman....I have to say that because of my own gender identity I like the dynamic…

I am a very male identified *kitten*. I had a breast reduction in 2003 that went terribly wrong and left me with breasts and a completely destroyed right pectoral muscle. I am curvy and hate it. However, I do not want to actually transition with hormones, but I love passing as a man and I want to get rid of my curves and…

I've had a bad week too...started a new med that is making me feel famished ALL THE TIME and ugh, I am up 2.5lbs in a week :( It is so hard when you are exhausted and just need to grab anything, I struggle with that alot...especially after work when I am tired but my kids have a softball game and we have a 45 min window to…

bump?:flowerforyou:

First of all, thank you all for your responses, it really means the world to me that you took the time to give your advice. Yesterday was my first day using the food diary for this site and it really shocked me to see how much sodium I ate...it came from sliced turkey (hillshire farms) that I thought was healthy! I have…
