Oatmeal made with skim milk and topped with berries - YUM!

I'm in Springfield and am down 20 pounds since June 1st. :) What part of Missouri are you in?

Where in Missouri? I'm in Springfield and from St. Louis and would love some local friends! I am trying to lose half my weight and get down to about 145. I've been here a month and am down 20lbs (though I may have gained some of it back over the holiday - oops!). If you use it daily, this website will become a great…

I have an associates in Early Childhood Education and am getting a BS in Psychology and a BSEd in Early Childhood Education (with teaching certificate). I am going to be starting grad school for Educational Diagnostics (Early Intervention Specialist). I have used my current degree and training from my in progress degrees…

I would do moving/carrying boxes for while you were doing stock and then walking 2.0mph for the remaining time. See what you get for that. These activities would be closer to what you actually did than fishing would be.

Don't wait. You don't know how many other people he's been like this to. Harassment is harassment and that's exactly what he did to you.

Don't go by your stomach and go by your clock instead. I know when I cramp, I don't want to eat a bite. However, to keep your blood sugar level, you need to get your meals in. Eat something small every 2-3 hours alternating snack sized calories with meal sized calories.

Excuse my language, but that guy is an @sshole. Does your company have an HR department? I would lodge a formal complaint. That's discriminatory and no one should have to stand for that. As for you, you should be so proud of yourself! Any amount of weight loss, especially as much as you have achieved, is extraordinary. You…

I love Sambra brand. They have a lot of different flavors. The buffalo flavor has a kick without being overpowering. :)

Did you have the food sensitivities before? I was diagnosed back in 2000 and have no sensitivities other than a few allergies, mainly to fruits (I'm not the only one in my family with fruit allergies - my dad has them too). I haven't heard of PCOS causing that kind of sensitivities in the past. If you are having that many…

Lane Bryant last Winter. They're red with snowflakes and stars and penquins wearing scarves. :D

Having some fat is healthy. A lack of fat can cause a lot of health and hormonal issues. Keep living healthy and learn how to love you for who you are, inside and out!

Divorcing soda is a hard break-up! But it's totally worth it when you realize how much better off you are without it. Your energy level is going to shoot through the roof! YOU GO! *lol*

I love a good challenge. :) I'm in!

THANK YOU!!! I hate being the grammar police. :)

Put your scale in your closet and get out your measuring tape. If you are working out consistently, you are going to build muscle mass. Muscle is denser than fat so a pound of muscle takes up less space than fat (contrary to popular myth, muscle does not WEIGH more than fat because a pound is a pound no matter how you…

I had horrible side effects and had to be taken off of it. It made me so sick I couldn't function.

I have no clue whose blog this is, but it has a great picture to explain muscle density versus fat density. Muscle is more compact than fat for the same weight. It takes up a lot less space for the same weight. Additionally, the more muscles you have, the faster your metabolism will go, so BE EXCITED! Go off your inches…

All concert tickets are way overpriced so that shouldn't be a consideration. Think of it this way - maybe the fact that she couldn't sit in a normal seat will be a wake up call to her and she will start researching ways to make herself healthier. A woman like that is at risk for so many preventible diseases that it's a…

You don't go into starvation mode overnight. Don't worry about it. In fact, take that phrase out of your vocabulary and listen to your body.

I joined!

I bought a yoga mat and use that for my Wii exercises. It helps some with the impact and, if you wear socks, you're not sliding all over the floor.

One word - WOW!!!

Before you buy an elliptical, go to an exercise equipment store and get your stride length measured. If you get one with the wrong stride length, it can cause some serious impact on your joints because you would be unnaturally shortening or lengthening your natural walking stride. Once you know your stride length, you can…

Thank you so much for the suggestions and information. I am working on diet as well (my diary is open if you want to look - slowly transitioning to "real food"). I am trying to limit my calories to 1400-1500 (my doctor said to stick around 1500). The weight is coming off, slowly but surly. I tend to lose weight evenly, so…

I stopped wearing my wedding ring because it was tight (and I have to wear medical gloves at work and washing hands so often gets to be a pain with my rings). I haven't tried them on since I lost weight. I wonder if they'll fit now?

Do you know what kind of PCOS you had? I have endocrine syndrome X and am extremely insulin resistant. I've recently been having digestive issues and my doctor thinks that it's due to the increased production of insulin due to my more frequent meals. Just wondering what others have tried and what's worked for what. 1.…
