I pre-log every week. I do meal prep on Sundays, and have all my lunches/dinners ready to go for the week, that way I don't give in to picking something up while I'm at school or work.

I agree with this, as someone else with PCOS who exhibits almost all of the symptoms. It may not be affecting you as much as you think, but as you get older it can become more severe. Maybe try eating more calorie dense foods that don't contain alot of carbs, like cheese and peanut butter?

I did 3 sets of: 16 lunges (8 each leg) w/ bicep curls 10 Pull Ups/10 Tricep Dips Sprint (6 MPH 90 secs) Hamstring exercise I can't remember the name of 6 Point Shoulder Raise Row machine (90 secs) And then I did some low impact cardio for about 30 minutes

You look so amazing! Congratulations! I am 5' 10" as well, and I started at 305 with a goal of losing down to about 150. I'm at about 210 now, and I have to admit that your pictures definitely give me some motivation! Thanks for posting them for us.

I try to do 30 minutes, 3 times a week on days that I don't lift. On lifting days, I do sprints/rowing machine between every couple of workouts, so that gives me some cardio too. I personally hate doing any kind of cardio, so I barely make it through 30 minutes. I definitely give you credit for doing 90 minutes!

I try to weigh myself on a monthly basis, simply because of weight fluctuations during the day/week I can't tell if I actually lost weight in a week's time or not.

As others have mentioned, maybe try eating more protein/fats. I personally have been feeling like I am starving lately, but I think it's because my calorie goal has lowered and I have also increased the frequency and intensity of my workouts. If you are hungry all the time, try to drink more water and maybe chew on a piece…

Advice from me is probably not going to help much, since I am a commuter student from home, but I hope I can help you a little! I'm in my second semester/first year of college, and so far I have actually lost weight. I think the key to it is to just plan ahead if you think you are going to be put in a situation that is…

I started in February at 305, and so far I am down to around 260. I'm 5' 11'' and I am trying to get down to 140-170ish. I really am just judging on the way I feel/look. Good luck to anyone who is 300+ and looking to make a change, you can definitely do it, but don't look at it as a diet, look at it as a lifestyle change.…

I was diagnosed about 4 years ago with type 2 diabetes, and after a few months of testing it turns out it is being caused by another disorder, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. My diabetes has never been aggressive, and it has got to the point where I can't take the medicine without my blood sugar dropping into the 50s and 60s.…

I have been thinking about doing the same thing. I already do about 30/40 minutes of cardio and 20/30 minutes of strength training in the morning before class, and I am thinking about stopping by and doing an extra 30 minutes of cardio in the evening. I think the best way to approach is to try a trial and error for about a…

I am okay with cheat days, as long as you don't overdo it. Otherwise, you can easily soar above your calorie intake and stall your weight loss progress. I try not to do a whole cheat day, but just a cheat meal. I eat like I usually do all day, and then at dinner I may eat at my favorite restaurant and have some dessert.…

I started dieting February 12 of this year, and slowly decreased my calorie intake over time, then added in some exercise. I was 305 back in February, and now I am about 267ish. I'm still looking to drop another 100 lbs or so, and I hope I can get it off and keep it off!

Gender: Female Age: 20 Height: 5' 11'' Starting weight: 305 (I was dieting for about 2 months prior to starting to use MFP) Current Weight: 267 Goal weight: 160-140 (Although I am really considering switching to a body fat percentage goal) Activity level: Sedentary Weight loss goal: 2 lbs per week Calorie Goal (Net): 1587…

I have to admit, I just grit my teeth and muscled through all my hunger pains. If I ever felt really hungry, I would down a big glass of water and that would help for a little bit. Eating more protein is definitely another option, as I increased my protein my hunger pains throughout the day decreased. I think someone else…

I seem to have this issue too! I went a month with no substantial fluctuation in my weight at all, and I was following my diet and exercise regimen as closely as possible. Then I went for a vacation for about a week, and my diet took a break too. Then miraculously, a few days after coming back from vacation, I dropped…
