Charlotte, I'm on a weight loss journey and also have PCOS. I've had bariatric surgery so I'm not sure how much advice I could give on helping to lose weight and get symptoms under control, but it would be nice to have a cyster as a friend :) I've lost 79.2lbs and have 95.6 left to go.

Thank you all!

Thank you all for the wonderful messages and friendships!

Honestly depends on the guy. When my boyfriend's hair starts thinning (his hair is longer than mine), we both agreed that he is going to shave his head and go bald, because completely bald looks better than thin spots! But some guys just pull off being bald well, and from your picture, you're one of them. c:

Age: 17 Height: 5'7 SW: 291 CW: 280 GW: 150 I believe 150-160 is the high end of healthy, but I still want a bit of a belly and I want to keep my curves when I'm done. If I wanted to be lower, the lowest I'd probably go is 130, but of course a lot of it is personal preference. How you want to look, how good you feel at…

Like a lot of people have said, don't look for love. A lot of people shoot me down because of my age, but I'm 17 going on 18 and met my boyfriend at the age of 13. We've been together going on 5 years here in May, and I've never been closer to anyone in my life. I don't feel like I need to keep anything from him, and he…

I personally LOVE Almond Breeze Vanilla Almond Milk. It just tastes good. I drank 1% milk for most of my life, then switched to skim. I still like my regular milk, but I'm sticking with Almond.

I'm definitely not a newbie, but feel free to add c:

The same happens for my Turbo Jam DVD. You just have to search for the activity(ies) that you're doing and not the name of the DVD. For example, I have to put in Kickboxing for my DVD. The exact name of the exercise I input is Kickboxing (including Turbo Jam). But not all of them will have specific workouts pinned to the…

Like other people have said, seems pretty low for a guy.

Sorry, but 2 lbs per day isn't going to happen. Not only is it unrealistic, it's not healthy.

People (usually women) who walk tracks/sidewalks in groups of like 5 all beside each other so that you have to walk a mile around them.

No one should ever have to go through anything without their significant other's support. Sounds like now that you're overweight, he's not into you, and he sounds seriously controlling. No help here.

Yup. I just lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks by just watching what I ate, no exercise other than daily activities.

Hello. I have hypothyroidism, hypertension, and PCOS. It is tough, and it's so easy to lose motivation and slip backwards and gain all the weight back (it's happened to me more times than I can remember unfortunately). I'm hoping this time will be my last, but it's so hard to say. Find a "thinspiration" (a person similar…

My point exactly! Thank you!

Like I said, some people have trouble staying motivated, and some people don't have anyone around them to help motivate them.

Normally I'd agree with this. However, I personally have a lot of trouble staying motivated. While it may not be doing MUCH for them, it is doing SOMETHING, and the last thing I'd want to see is someone on here giving up because what was supposed to be an encouraging, support-filled community made them feel like crap. They…

I don't really think a lot of these replies have been helpful or on topic, so I'll try and do both. I do think you're seeing something wrong because, like others who have checked, 10 minutes of elliptical work is showing more of a burn than housework. That being said, getting a HRM might be best. I personally don't have…

I think the thing about this is, it's bad to eat before you sleep because then you aren't active for 8 hours or so and that food doesn't go anywhere but to your fatty places. But as long as you're keeping within your limits, I guess it should be fine. Still not the best, but it shouldn't hurt you much.

Nice. c:

Hello! I have PCOS but I'm shedding the pounds off like nobody's business. I was put on Metformin for a while, then was told to double my dose. After that, I went to another doctor and they said it did nothing for me, so I was taken off and put on a special birth control with an extra dose of estrogen. I lost a crazy…

VersaEmerge, hands down.

Why, are you sad?
