My doctor told me I have polycystic ovaries but not the syndrome whatever that means I just assume I have less severe PCOS but I most definitely have the menstrual symptoms and more testosterone than I need. I had trouble losing weight after having my twins and was 5'3" and 155-160 for a year afterwards (pre-pregnancy…

Unless they ask you point blank am I obese/overweight, they are a close loved one that you couldn't live without, or you are their physician it's not something you should say. As for that guy in Wisconsin, he probably should have kept his mouth shut but I don't think he was being a bully. He seemed to actually be concerned…

I suffered through a terrible eating disorder that almost killed me and I think had I had this site when it started I would be dead. It's a great tool for adults to get into shape but it's a dangerous tool for girls at 12. Maybe try talking to her about what's going on in her life see what is really behind this desire to…

Because running lets me clear my head and relax while I get some time to myself which is a rarity when you are a stay at home mom to 2 year old twins! They way I feel after a good run is indescribably amazing!

Anything about dieting is stupid. You should be changing your eating habits/lifestyle or else you'll gain it all back when you're done dieting. I think diets are stupid period.

I've been running off and on for 10 years and I have been averaging 10-15 miles a week lately depending on how much time the twins let me have.

You can rent work out DVD's from the Library and do them in your living room! Totally free and in the comfort of your own home. Or a lot of cable companies now have ON Demand exercise video/routines. If you have cable check out the ON Demand section. Some of the comcast ON Demand videos are as short as 10 minutes or as…

The running sounds about right. I burn about 300-330 calories running at a 3% incline at a speed of 5.3-5.5 for 30 minutes with a 1 minute warm up and about 2-3 minutes walking at 3.9 on the treadmill. I'm about the same weight. I don't do videos I hate them so I'm not sure what the deal is there maybe your heart rate was…

He gets checked out physically pretty regularly from what he said. I was on the show in Chicago and talked to him afterward. He said he doesn't eat all day before the challenge. I still think its pretty dangerous. He was in good health that first season but I bet it's not so great now. I haven't really watched it since…

I would eat black salt. Yes just plain black salt I still crave it but I don't eat it. I also would eat cheese on EVERYTHING. I gave up cheese for Lent this year and joined MFP it's helping a lot. I also ate out a lot now I eat the stuff I make for my kids (I make all of their baby food from scratch always have) and unless…

I'm a single mom so it's tricky to find time but I cut my lunch to 20 minutes and leave 40 minutes early to work out. It forces me to bring my lunch and eat healthy and I'm not missing any time I would have normally been with the twins. I work accross the alley from my office so the commute is quick but if you have a gym…

Thanks everyone. I don't eat out and I eat organic like my kids so I need to just chill out. I do work out everyday so I guess my body could use a short break. I just hope it's that SHORT. It's not only about the weight it's about my health for the kids, Since I started this healthy lifestyle (I won't call it a diet it…
