I put my scale away! I have it on a high shelf in my bedroom closet. So to weigh myself I have to get the chair from the office to reach it then take it to the bathroom. It is a task to get it down so I am not as tempted to use it daily. I weigh myself every week. Hope this helps you.

I want my Husband back. :cry:

I always get the extra lean meats. If you mix finely chopped onion into the hamburger mix before cooking the moister in the onion keeps the burger patty from getting dry and it adds flavor too. I also do this with my meat loaf + I grate in some zucchini and it is never dry either.

Great job with the self control. I myself am planning on allowing myself to indulge on "Fat Tuesday" !!! I will have one piece of King Cake and one Strawberry Paczki. These foods are only available for one week A year, ( at least here in Northern Indiana) so I will use that as my "treat" for the week. I may even have a…

Not too bad. So lets say he used one pound of beef (90% lean?) and one pound of venison. then how many strips of bacon? Google each ingredient and add them all together, and divide by how many patties it makes. (I looked them up and the beef and venison would be 1,600 calories for about 2 pounds, one of each.) I don't know…

Since you are already in the healthy weight range maybe all you need is to work out and tone up? You aren't over weight so you probably already eat well. If not eat more healthy foods.

I am here everyday. Anyone can add me if you like. I am here to lose some weight and get my health back.

It has only been 6 days give your body time. You didn't gain your weight in one week. If I were you I would check your settings 1,800 to 2,000 calories is what is recommended to maintain an averaged woman's weight. You may have forgotten to set your goal. Also if you don't know how much food you are consuming you are not…

Hello. I live in South Bend! Nice to see another Hoosier. I am recovering from 2 major surgeries last year. I had spinal fusion and 3 months ago I had a hysterectomy. My husband left my 4 months ago after 19 years. My goals are to regain my strength, my health and my figure. (since I guess at some point I will start dating…

Salut. Mon nom est Kerri Curtis. Pardon mon français. Mon grand-père était du Canada français. (Sutton Québec) J'ai lutté avec les problèmes de poids toute ma vie aussi. J'ai subi une chirurgie dos et acquise plus 40 lbs 20 kilos en 6 mois. Je suis à me battre pour perdre du poids avec mes limites physiques. Ami moi si…

I weigh myself every day, but my Official weigh in is Monday. I tend to eat more on the weekend so it is my highest weight for the week. The Monday weight I log.

One thing you can try is working out in a pool! It is so much easier on your joints. Most YMCAs offer water aerobics cheep. It is a gentle way to start. It also gets you out and being social. :happy:

This site is good for support! Lots of active users with encouragement and advice. Feel free to add me I am here several times a day and have my diary open to help keep my honest!

It appears the starter of this thread has deleted her profile. So any PCO folks feel free to add me as a friend!

I feel your pain. It will be a constant battle. Limiting refined grains and sugars will help. What PCOS does is makes our body's "Insulin resistant" Also called Pre-Diabetic. Don't be depressed about this let it make you determined to be healthy. This is a wonderful book to help you understand how your body works. The…

[ quote] I am struggling today too. Not real sure why, but I've binged myself down to only having 300 calories left for dinner. I've binged on healthy things like baby carrots and fruit (I did allow myself one Fiber One brownie) but it's still not enough. I am wondering if it has anything to do with today being my rest…

Ya but I am on day 7. Not really the time to give in! I think I am getting past it....I hope. I had a shot of vodka in a soda and am working on dinner. I know this will suck at first and I will have cravings but I am glad there people here to talk me down. I was so close to eating a whole bag of Oreo's!

I am a binge eater! There I said it. I hate that it is true but it is. It is mainly emotional. I can eat amounts that make my husband sick just to think about. For me food = comfort, food = love, food is a temporary solution. When I binge I think of and feel nothing but food. It is a symptom of bigger emotional problems. I…

Is anyone else having problems like this?

I love working out on the elliptical! I was a gym rat until my back gave out. I was a year in pain slowly gaining weight and being less and less active as the pain got worse. Than I had spinal fusion and was unable to move for 2 months. Now I am way over weight and trying to get my strength back. On average the human body…

Thank you ladies. I believe I will get good support here!

I have had PCOS for 25 years. Loosing and maintaining weight is a struggle. I have been battling it most of my life. Feel free to friend me. I wish you success on your journey.

I am 5'4" I hope I am not too short! :wink: I had spinal fusion L-3 to L-5. I had 4 ruptures and 7 fractures. They took a chunk of bone from my hip so there was enough to fuse. I had my surgery Oct. 31st. 5 days in the Hospital and 6 weeks unable to move all the time on steroids packed the pounds on fast! I have similar…
