I'm looking for friends too! I was diagnosed when I was 17 after I had to have my left ovary taken out because it was swallowed by a large cyst (clearly I'm being medically accurate :smile: ) now I'm 25 and getting married next fall... Trying to lose some weight for the wedding- but also would like to be as fit and healthy…

Ahh I needed to find this thread today. So motivating to read through the posts! I'm PCOS, had an ovary removed because of a benign tumor, and have insulin resistance. Metformin made me sick and BC gave me high blood pressure, so my doctor put me on inositol powder, which basically does the same thing, and also berberine…

I was gaining weight too on 1200 cals/ day... I was trying to do no carb, until my nutritionist/ RD said that the brain needs 120g of carbs a day to function at full speed... which makes sense because I've been feeling off for a week... so I upped the cals and the carbs, and started losing weight and studying for finals…

I swim at the gym... I'm not aerodynamic because of my body shape, I am a terrible swimmer, and I'm always paranoid that I missed a spot shaving my legs so I don't want to be in a swimsuit... but I convinced a friend of mine to join, and we go together. If you have a friend who goes to your gym, or you have a guest pass, I…

I wasn't diagnosed with PCOS until after I had to have an ovary removed, so I don't know if my situation is different, but I was on met for about 3 months, switched the dosage around for a few more months to see if it would help, but, made me sick as a dog even on the lowest dose. They also put me on birth control which…

I buy my produce from a co-op... bountifulbaskets.org It's $15 dollars a week (add 10 for certified organic) for 1 basket of veggies, and 1 basket of fruit... I get WAY more for the price than I would from the grocery store...They also have weekly extras you can purchase. I just bought 8lbs of strawberries for 11…

My best friend's motto is "Modest is hottest!" This post made me think of that... but I also try to dress modestly, but sometimes clothes in my size seem to accentuate my seemingly only good quality... sad.

I'm the baby of 5... When I was little we had a drooly bassett hound... and I absolutely LOVED him but I HATED when he would get his slobber on me... so sometimes my oldest siblings would pin me down and put slurpee on my face and have him come and lick my face... I would cry and cry...and then he tried to make me feel…

I know it said you're not a big fan of chicken... but I just got the Chipotle Chicken Wrap bistro box from Starbucks... 380 calories 26g protein... and it comes with a piece of chocolate!! It was really good and really filling..and had about 100 calories less than the drink I ordered along with it (from this day on, I am…

What I think many Christians are missing in this gay marriage issue is love. If you love someone, you don't call them an abomination. If you love someone, you build them up, without condoning nor condemning their behavior. The Bible does tell us to speak the truth, but to do so IN LOVE. I bet no one ever witnessed to you…

Timmy Tebow... but I'd probably have to wait a while for it!!

I went from 3 or 4 cans a day to 0... and I've actually gained weight... I drink water...like 100oz per day... and am still gaining... very annoyed by this... because I would understand if I went from drinking a 0 cal drink to like juice or milk that has like 100 cals per serving...but I went to water... Maybe my body is…

My unwillingness to change my habits... After injuring my ankle in volleyball, I had 4 years of surgeries...but ate the same as when I was playing volleyball 6 hours a day... then I found out that I had PCOS, had to have an ovary removed because of a tumor...stayed inactive, kept eating... and now I'm 22 with high…

As a Christian, I firmly believe that where there is light, darkness must flee. Whenever I feel like there is evil lurking, I start to sing worship songs... I really John Waller's song Our God Reigns Here... here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5SXhfANJv4

attractive to me is like "well...you're not ugly..." but it's way better than "you have a lot of other things going for you..."

My mom and dad said I couldn't date until I'm 30 or have my doctorate.... whichever comes sooner... haha but I've never been on a "date"...so maybe I'm following their rule afterall...

Old Navy has a 20% off sale going on until tomorrow. I just got 2 pairs of workout pants for $27. I shopped online and entered in the coupon code. :D
-
I think this is something I would like to try. I've had ankle surgeries in the past.. but it looks like it starts off slow enough for me to lose weight with diet while also adding in some exercise. Count me in!! I'll be starting week 1 tomorrow. :D

I always get encouraged through the word of God...especially when I'm first starting out... I always think of Zech 4:10 where it says do not despise the days of small beginnings... so encouraging because I'm putting in so much work and not seeing the results! :\ Walking by faith and not by sight!! be blessed everyone!

My relay team would set up tables in front of grocery stores and get donations. People were often times very giving, and ACS would give us things to give to people, like bracelets or stickers or key chains... I don't know if they still do it, I haven't done R4L in about 3 years...

I'll fast that with you!! I was thinking carbs, but there are carbs in fruits and veggies so I will do white food as well! Good luck!!

I have about 145lbs to lose. I'm new to this site. I could also use friends! I wish I could just split into two people and be done with weightloss, but alas, I have to do it pound by pound... :|
