  • There's a great burrito restaurant by my office that gave me an awesome idea for my ground turkey. I brown the turkey, add some black beans, season with sea salt and pepper. Spoon onto a spinach or tomato tortilla, add a few dried cranberries, spinach and raspberry poppyseed dressing (I make my own). It's fabulous!

  • Mine was regular until I hit age 20 then it went down hill. I was well under 200 lbs at that time and by age 22 I was diagnosed with PCOS and infertility as a result of PCOS at age 27. I'm not sure what my BMI was when it first started going AWOL on me. The weight is a result of the PCOS, you don't get PCOS because you're…

  • If your gym offers personal training I suggest making an appointment with them to go over what you're wanting so you can have one custom tailored to what you need. My trainer at Plant Fitness (which they offer for free with the black card membership) has me on 3 days of strength training in a 30 minute circuit and 3 days…

  • Absolutely! I read an article not long ago that was talking about married couples choosing to not have children and a lot of the comments on the article were fussing about them being "selfish". Some people aren't meant to have children or have never had a desire to have them. I for one, can't due to PCOS, but I never…

  • I've read all three and found that I struggled to get through them, they were poorly written in my opinion. I got so sick of them going to bed every few pages and the encounter lasting for what felt like 20 pages. I have, however, read the Sylvia Day Crossfire Series and they are much better written. I do not plan to see…

  • Mine put me on Metformin, typically given to diabetic patients, but it really worked for me. It slowed down and nearly stopped a lot of the crappy side parts of PCOS. I was on the edge of IR, but adopted an IR diet anyway. I pay very close attention to the foods on the glycemic index, those little bad boys on there can do…

  • Hi :) I'm 37 and enjoy being child free. Some think it's selfish, but I see it otherwise. I think it's nice that there are some of us bucking the system regarding having children. We shouldn't have to "get married and have kids" to feel like we've done something with our lives. I adore my niece and nephew, but am really…

  • I was diagnosed with it 12 years ago...hello cysters! This mess sucks...just plain sucks. And part of me is led to believe that all of this junk in our food now days is a major contributor to a lot of bad health effects and not just a contributor to obesity. But, we can do this! Feel free to add me ladies!

  • Mine should arrive within the next couple of days. I'm excited to start it as I've already done a couple of them that were posted on YouTube. Hope it goes well for you! I've heard several people had good results with it so hopefully you and I will as well :)

  • I have a desk job myself and the monotony really works on me some days. Before, I kept a pot of coffee going and that's how I made it through the day. Now, I take GNC Womens Ultra Mega Energy & Metabolism vitamins. I stay alert but not anxious and found that I'm not even wanting any coffee or caffeine after that first…

    in 50 lbs or more to lose? Comment by DenaC3 July 2014
  • I found that I didn't like what I was trying to do...and that made me really dislike the whole exercise thing. Despise it actually. But, I love to dance and found a great workout DVD set that really keeps me moving and sweating, Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs. The music is great, it's fun and I don't feel loathing toward it after…

  • I listen to all kinds of music, but what I find that keeps me motivated the most is hip hop. Not the general, fun club type stuff but the angry push yourself music. A typical workout playlist contains a lot of DMX and Eminem, artists like that. I believe, Till I Collapse by Eminem has to be the one that really kicks me…
