Congrats! What an achievement... Your before pic looks like me right now... in fact if I didn't know it was you, I would swear it IS me... I'd love to hear more about your journey, how long it took, any tips or tricks... :)

After posting this, I did a search for PCOS macronutrient ratios and came across this old article: http://www.pcosnutrition.com/links/blogs/have-pcos-and-not-losing-weight-it-could-be-your-gi..html I think there's something to it... I am going to try choosing low GI foods rather than that stressing about the carbs... which…

I haven't counted calories for weight loss in many years... done a ton of other (some controversial) methods and just can't stick with anything that restricts certain foods... The most successful I've ever been at weight loss was in high school when I counted calories. Go figure... LOL Here I am at age 38, full circle. One…

Yes, I definitely do a lot better when I plan ahead... Great tip!

Once a friend was passive aggressively trying to make menu recommendations that were "healthy" for me, so I ordered the biggest fattest poutine... A massive dinner size bowl of french fries covered in cheese curds and gravy (in case you don't know what poutine is). And savoured every bite to the very end!

I have a lot of weight to lose and I like the idea of setting mini goals instead of focusing on that massively huge number. This morning I was 283 point something... I'd like to see the 140's ultimately (I was 140 when I graduated high school and I felt healthy and strong at that weight), but that's literally HALF my…

Sure, I'll send a friend request! I'm a newb, just started logging a couple days ago... Age: 38 Height: just under 5'4" Start weight: 291.3 lbs Current weight: 282.3 Goal weight: 276.3 lbs (silly, I know, but I want to make it an even 115 lbs lost... I'll likely change this a bajillion times along the way, so it doesn't…

Yogi (that's the brand) Classic India Spice. It's soooo delicious with a little milk or cream... it's sweetened with stevia, and particularly warming on a crisp fall day...

My doctor told me I'd lose weight while on meformin... I gained 50 lbs over the year I was on it, and that was while doing low carb eating... it made me SO sick... I was constantly running to the bathroom with diarrhea (yes, I started on low dosage and worked up). Finally after a year of feeling awful I weaned off it and…

It's a myth that only overweight women have PCOS... I was a normal slim weight when I first started having PCOS symptoms in my late teens. The important thing to remember is there's a direct connection between insulin resistance and PCOS... if you can lower your insulin through diet, you're more likely to produce the…

From your pic I would say pear shaped... you're smaller up top, bigger on the bottom... You look quite proportionate and have a nice shape. :)

Interesting about the migraines... I've started having them in the past year quite frequently. Mine seem to be trigged by high pressure weather systems. I am literally my own barometer. I'll say to the hubs, weather's changing... and within a few hours it does... It's a weird thing... I hate the migraines... Upside is I…

Hey girl... we're going to lick and/or kick this thing. A lot of it is a positive attitude, and you're already setting yourself up for success by recognizing you need some positivity in your life. Nobody wants to be guilted into anything, human nature is to do the complete opposite! I remember when I was a teenager and…
