I would love to join. I have been so motivated to change my diet but I can't seem to get motivated to exercise everyday. It is actually great timing. I go back to work (teacher) and I can walk during my lunch and after school!!! Tina

Ok... So I heard back from my doctor and eveything is starting to make more sense. I have been diagnosed with PCOS which has a huge effect on my insulin... which is I think keeping me from losing the weight. She is going to put me on medicine to control it. I hate taking pills but I know I have to do what I have to do.…

That is SO EXCITING!!! Keep it up.

Hey Kristen I was wondering the same thing so I looked it up. I found this website that provided some very informational material. http://www.womentowomen.com (type in probiotic if it doesn't tell you right away). Tina

Thanks so much ... I will give it a try.

Thank you so much. I think that I will try that. Your description couldn't have described any better (more so at night than during the day). You all are so great on this site. Truely an inspiration. Have a great day. Tina

Not the TOM and now that you mention it my BM have been off. I wonder if it is because I was on a liquid diet for a couple of days after my surgery.

Ok twenty somethings... I have a question for ya. I have been so bloated it hurts. I have been looking at what I am eating and my sodium intake is not high so I am not sure what is causing it. Any suggestions? Breakfast: one egg with whole wheat toast plain. Snack: gala apple Lunch. 1 cup of dirty rice and 1 cup of mixed…

I am reading everyone's entries and all I have to say is WAY TO GO TEAM!!!! I know that I need to do a little better with what I eat. I am will have to say that I made homemade fried chicken tenders Monday Night .... Well... I paid for it last night. :sick: Never doing that again :ohwell: I will think twice. I weighed this…

I have found a solution to my part but my husbands ... well like you said it's around for six years. I wish you all the luck and patience. Keep yourself…
