Hey, we're practically neighbors! Congrats on the loss! My friend (who is also on here) has told me great things about Fat Head.. I only watched the first 30 minutes (I tried to watch it on my iPod, while bored and not able to watch tv in a hotel room.. watching anything on that small of a device doesn't really work out…

That's awesome! Very inspirational before and afters! I too, loved your colorful hair (and the hot pink cast.. I've never had a broke bone, but I always fantasized that would be the exact color I'd get my cast.. that, or neon orange).

I'd love some more friends. I'm in this for the long-run, so definitely committed!

I know that the low-carb Slim Fast shakes only have 1 sugar each (and 190 calories), so that might be another option if you're finding the regular shakes have too much sugar for you.

I am! I'm doing the low-carb version. I've been doing it for a little over a month now and have lost 22lbs. I love them! I thought I'd get sick of them pretty quickly and I've actually tried to taper off from using them and going onto a more strict low-carb way of eating (still in induction mode, as I have a lot to lose).…

I play (see weight meter :tongue:).... probably a little too much. Am working on my 7th 85 now! :embarassed: Now if you'll excuse me, I have some Molten Front dailies to tend to. :drinker: ETA: I am mostly playing on Silvermoon right now. But also have toons on Silver Hand, Moon Guard, Steamwheedle Cartel, Greymane, Shadow…

Fish! It's terrible, because I know it's so good for you and I sure could use some more of it in my diet (I try to choke down tuna every now and then, but it has to be mixed with all kinds of things).

I love make-up! I usually stick to the cheap drugstore stuff (Revlon, Covergirl, Rimmel, Maybelline), but it works for me. You know, for as much make-up I wear, you'd think I'd have the names/colors/#s of certain products memorized, but I have no idea. I just go by eye and buy whatever shades appeals to me most. :P

Murfreesboro, Tennessee :)

I'm doing my own modified version of Atkins (pretty sure drinking low-carb shakes and eating nuts during induction is a no-no, but I'm doing it anyway :P). I've done low-carb off and on for almost 10 years now and have yet to have any "health problems" because of it. If anything, it improves my blood pressure and…

I have a doctor's appointment next week and am going to bring up upping my dosage (and hopefully getting on some spironoloctane also) and if she doesn't cooperate, I'll be looking for a new doctor that specializes in endocrinology. I looked up a couple on the link that someone posted up above and only found 2 in the…

I like the title of this post (Radiohead fan?)! :D You can do this! 200lbs may seem overwhelming now, but a few months into this and seeing how much you've lost and how far you come, 200 isn't bad at all. You'll get there in no time. Each day I'm here, it gets easier. Especially with all of the support here. You have a lot…

Yep, you can adjust your carbs to your liking. I did the same! I've allotted myself 20 carbs a day (still in half-assed, doing it my own way induction phase), but plan to up those carbs soon. I am also keeping track of my calories, sodium, potassium and fiber so while this is mostly a calorie friendly website, I've found…

I only take 500mg and I don't think it's doing much for me at all. I need a new doctor.. one that understands PCOS!

I've been a gamer since I was old enough to handle a joystick. Currently, the only game I am playing is World of Warcraft.

Nathan Fillion! :heart:

I LOVE mashed cauliflower, dare I say, more than mashed potatoes! Had some with dinner last night.

I'm doing my own version of low-carb, but pretty much Atkins. I've been trying to stay under 20 net carbs a day (not necessarily induction, since I'm drinking the slim-fast shakes daily and other Atkins "no-nos" during their induction, but I do plan a more strict induction next week since I've been stalling). I have PCOS…

probably about 20. I average about 10-12 on any given day, but probably have a little more than that.

Nice! Thank you! I just recently started watching my sodium.

ack, double post.

I am trying to stay under 1500 (I have high blood pressure) a day lately. I went a little over yesterday, but for the most part, I've been able to keep it below.

probably playing World of Warcraft for 3 days straight. :embarassed:

Hey, I have PCOS.. I'll friend you!

I record gum because I am counting carbs, each piece of gum (sugarfree Orbit, anyway) has 1 carb in it (I usually chew 2 pieces at a time), so that is 2 less carbs that I can have that day. Restricting my carbs to 20 a day, 2 carbs is a lot for just gum.

I've been unemployed for about 10 years now and have been living the sedentary life of staying on the computer and playing video games all day. Which is why I'm at where I am now. I hope to find a job (one that keeps me moving) soon!

I have some tattoos on my left arm that are going to look horrid once I get to my goal weight, so I plan on getting them covered up (and then many more). I'd like a full sleeve, but unless a bunch of money falls into my lap, I don't see that happening.

I prefer them all! Fake or natural can both look nice, depending on the person. For myself, I will be getting a reduction and a lift if the time ever comes that we can afford it.

Awesome! This is my plan too. :D
