Have you thought about getting a Polar fit watch? This is what I use to calculate calories on my runs. It has a heart rate monitor and works really well.

I still eat fast food but I order a kids meal.

Hooters chicken wings!

I noticed a tone in my legs at 10lbs but I didn't start getting compliments from other until I reached 20lbs. With 20lb loss I treated myself to some new clothes and I think that has caused people to notice more. Hang in there and good luck.

I would think it is muscle but to be sure I would take my measurements.

Welcome to MFP! I have pcos and my most important recommendation is to not let it mentally tear you away from what you can and will do physically.

Not losing pounds could depend be from several different reasons. Are you eating enough to not take your body into starvation mode? What does your workout consist of? Could it be you are building muscle which weighs more than fat? I would try taking your body measurements and see if you have had any change in that. Being…

I weigh everyday as well but I only record my Friday morning weight. Friday is official day that I track my weight.

Good way to think positive! I had an aunt recently tell me I was getting fat and when I explained to her that was was down 11lbs at that time. She preceded to say "well good because you better not get any bigger". Now I'm down a total of 18lbs with only 17 left to go. Who knows even at my goal of a size 9 she will still…

Soreness is not always a sign of a good workout. I would workout a different area the next time and give the sore area a break. Listen to what your body is telling you. Do you feel you are sore or in pain....

I would consult with your doctor about the correct amount of protein that you need to consume daily. Having too much protein in your system can cause health conditions like Kidney Stones and other liver conditions. My son was born with a liver condition at birth and we had to watch the amount of protein he takes in because…

I will say this! I am 5'3 and the smallest that I need to be is around 140-143. There was a time that I dropped to 135 and I didn't like the way I looked. I felt like my face was sunk in and that my bones were starting to stick out. I say this to say that you have to be comfortable where it makes you feel good. Everyone…

I would skip logging the vacation meals unless you have them wrote down.

First thing is CONGRATS! Second, I totally understand your predicament. I have PCOS and at 184lbs (7years ago) my doctor explained my options of fertility to me due to the complications. Taking matters into my own hands I lost 43lbs and finally for the first time in my life had a regular cycle. Within two month of that I…

Good luck to you!

I've tried detoxing with fruits/veggies before and actually completed it for two weeks. I would eat more veggies than fruit in my opinion they kept me full longer. Make sure you have a variety of vegetables including a lot of green veggies! I also drank plenty of water! Good luck!

When using the product did you take any other vitamins or supplements?

How long have you been using the product?

Azdak - why do you not like GNC? Also could someone tell me what the BUMP means when people post it?

When I don't feel like eating breakfast in the morning I have a protein shake to supplement.

I use one banana and a few blueberries to flavor my natural oatmeal.

I totally agree w/ alleyag! I have done the same thing before and I used an all natural peanut butter to help me with calorie intake.

Awesome job! Keep it up!

I have PCOS and when diagnosed I decided against the medicine and tried a more natural outlook. The first time I tried losing weight I did Weight Watchers and plenty of cardio (lost 43lbs). Now that I am using MFP I've looked more into measurements than the scale. I have taken fried foods out of my diet, I no longer cook…

I'm in!

I have PCOS! I was diagnosed with the condition in 2004. I was 22 years old, newly engaged, and told my chance to get pregnant was going to be very slim due to all the complications I had began to have. Within four months I was down 43lbs. Now almost 7 years and one child later the weight has crept back on. I have realized…

I weigh myself in the mornings right after I wake up.
