  • I pretty much agree with everyone else. I don't low carb but 95% of the time I don't eat refined carbs (I say 95% because no one is perfect!). I don't tend to track my calories etc too closely because I find if you watch refined carbs and fat it is quite hard to eat too much. It makes me feel so much better because my…

  • Yes!! I never thought about it being a symptom of high testosterone but my calves are like rocks. In fact, a physio I was seeing for an achilles problem described them as like granite! My legs have always been quite muscular and at least now I have lost some weight that is starting to emerge from the flab. They'll never be…

  • I do Pilates regularly, after being told to by a sports physician who is a great advocate of it for all sorts of athletes. I have lumbar hyperlordosis (an over pronounced arch in my back) which has caused me all sorts of problems but pilates helps no end. It has improved my core strength tremendously. I would recommend…

  • I echo the low GI advice, my Dr suggested cutting out white carbs (e.g. eat sweet potato instead of ordinary, wholegrain or rye bread instead of white) and doing at least half an hour - an hour of moderate exercise every day. It is working, but slowly. I have also started to find that, now I have it under better control,…

    in Are there any TALL non-stick girls out there? Comment by elldeeldn February 2012
  • Can you add me too? Came off of depo and went from around 180 (still around 25lb heavier than my lowest weight) to 237 in just over a year. Thankfully my doctor agreed with me that that wasn't right and sent me for tests. My (lovely) gynae told me to watch the carbs and exercise lots and that would work, which it is...but…
    in PCOS Comment by elldeeldn February 2012
  • Hey, I'm 5'9.5'' and come in at 227 currently, was an 18/20 now more like an 18 (UK sizes). Back before I piled on the weight I was about 160lb and came in at a 10/12 bottom and 12/14 top (top heavy - could be worse!!) I was pretty fit and what size I was depended on whether I could get my muscley legs in, rather than my…

  • Hey, I'm 5'10'' and weight 228 at the moment. I have even had members of the medical profession tell me "well you don't look very overweight". I'm not overweight I'm obese! and my mother-in-law, god love her, who is a tiny woman with a massive appetite (a feeder if I ever met one) has begged me not to loose to much weight,…
