I burn an extra 50 calories more per 5 minute walking when i wear my very lazy 45lbs toddler, i used my HRM to work it out the other day out of curiosity.

Thanks for the replies. I have found if i eat back all my excercise calories i do not loose anything but i gain, attributing this to the PCOS as i know we have to work harder to loose weight with it. I have however just discovered that i can reset my excercise in goals to more accuratly reflect the amount of excercise i do…

I love eggs, as a veggie they are one one of my big sources of protein. In fact i love them so much thats what my 6 year old insisted on cooking me for lunch as it is mothers day here in the UK :smile:

How about the Nakd bar i just raved about on my page. Cocoa orange flavour, made with just natural dried fruits and nuts and cocoa, really chocolaty and satisfying 131 calories. It is in my food diary so macro breakdown showing there. Now i just need to find more of their products. This one was in Tesco and 75p but given…

My son who is almost 6 rarely says anything embarassing in public about others however if i have to take him into a changing room, quite a lot at the moment as non of my clothes fit he is a horror. He ha a vairiety of things he says nice and loud which always result in chuckles from neighbouring cubicles. He likes to…

In 2004 i lost 3 stone (taking me from just over 15 stone to about 12stone 3lbs) approx 1/5th of my weight in order to try and get pregnant, i had been put on the IVF list and told i had to be a certain BMI in order to get the treatment. I got pregnant naturally within a couple of months of reaching the new weight. If it…

Hi I have PCOS, not really doing a low GI diet but still getting results. Feel free to add me :smile: Rachel

Oh yummy, this sounds great nice and healthy and not too expensive to make. Will have to wait until the hubby is away though because he cant eat lentils :grumble:

I have to buy more carrots this week because my kids have eaten them all...not long ago carrots were certainly not something they demanded all the time :smile:

Congratulations on your fantastic weightloss, i was goign to search today to see some PCOS success stories and here you are. I also have PCOS so it is really great seeing that it can be done. Great to hear your symptoms are gettting less as well.

Pretty much the same answer as dinosnopro i am afraid, i cook 1 meal the familly (4y old, 6 year old and hubby) eat what is in front of them or go hungry. If they wont at least try it no alternaitve other than a piece of fruit is offered as they are obviously not that hungry. If hubby doenst like it he eats it and his…

I am 5'5.5" and started at 198lbs. Slowly loosing, about 1lbs every 10 day and now at 174lbs, but aiming for 140-147. There is a picture in my profile where i have put several pictures together for comparison. I think you should be able to see the photos but feel free to add me if you would like, my diary is open and i eat…

Bottom line is you are scared by him and his behaviour is very odd. You have a right to feel safe in your own appartment, you need to speak with your landlord so they have a record of what has been going on. Hopefully they will do something about it, and maybe there is absolutely nothing to worry about but it is always…

I have used it before, about 7 1/2 years ago, and i lost 44lbs. I then got pregnant so i am not sure how well i would have kept it off! I was hungry all the time and could happily have eaten my left arm by 7pm every night. I am never hungry logging my food in MFP, some days i have alot of calories left and am very full so…

I am pescatarian (a fish eating veggie) and it is rare for my fibre to be anything other than over the amount set by MFP. I dont specifically set out to eat fibre high foods it is just that my diet is naturally full of them, oats, veggies, beans and pulses. I have done the F plan diet before which was a high fibre one, and…

Sky TV and then one for Acai berries

Both times i have lost weight my cycle has started naturally. The first time i went from 210lbs to about 190lbs before it started and it wasnt very regular but the more i lost the more regular it became. This time i started at 198lbs and after the first 6 weeks on MFP my cycle returned and is now between 28-31 days i have…

My weight loss here has been very slow and steady, 240 days logging and 24lbs lost with a lot of inches. When i started (and i am really sorry that i didnt take any pictures) my pouch was very noticable and hung down quite a long way, like someone else said i could have held a pencil under it! In the last few weeks i have…

Just had to share this with you PCOS ladies as i am sure it will make you chuckle! I do suffer with the excess facial hair, which i obviously need to address at the moment as according to my 4 year old "mummy you have an eyebrow under your nose!" Got to love childish wisdom!

Can i just ask what the lemon juice is for as i eat a banana most mornings. And i also agree excercise does seem to be the key :smile:

I have PCOS, am not on any medication and apart from when TTC never have been. I am not IR and low carb does not really work for me unfortunately. The 24lbs i have lost so far on MFP are down to calorie control and Powerwalking on an almost daily basis, it does take time but it is do-able, i have been logging on MFP for…

I never thought of putting milk in green tea, always thought it was like fruit tea and you shouldnt add any. But i dont much like the taste of green tea so might give it a try i have a large box to finish!

I often comment on my own diary when i am under calories but with not very good choices something like could have made better choices today! Having said that people rarely comment on my diary anyway

I know it is tough sometimes on the weight loss journey but you are already letting food get in the way of you having a good time by feeling the need to take your own pancake mix to a party, eat in moderation and allow yourself to enjoy the food and the company.

For some reason i really like this :smile:

Since i have lost the weight i have noticed that ToM has been exactly that, once a month. I have never actually been regular since i started at age 10 so this was quite a shock, also the pains i get are a lot les uncomfortable. When i lost weight last time (3 stone) I was able to get pregnant without medication which was…

I have lost 24lbs and 3 UK sizes on the bottom half and 2 on the top. And half a shoe size which is a pain!

Hi Another PCOS cyster here, although i am no longer getting many pf the symptoms since i started my MFP journey. I am hoping that this is due to my weight loss. Not doing any low carb or GI type diets, just normal healthy eating and proper portion control are working for me.

I have 1 belvita biscuit (from a sachet of 4) and an activia yoghurt before my excercise in the mornings about 120 -130 calories and then i have breakfast after. I am not sure that the full packet would be very filling to be honest, but it is just enough to stop my stomach grumbling and seems to be a good pre workout combo…
