Finally sharing (our) success!
A bit over a year ago, my husband and I were in the ER. He was feeling 'weird' and his BP was 195/90. They were quickly able to get it down to normal, be he decided that day to make changes. He was quite overweight - we both were. He had been all his life, me only since having a child years before. I was also starting to…

Lost 75lbs, Well into healthy weight, NOW symptoms show up?!
This will be a very long post. Sorry XD Hi! First post in this group. I was just diagnosed this past week and I've been researching around and decided to join this group to maybe get some insight! I'm pretty sure I've had PCOS my whole life. From my very first my TOM has been horribly, debilitatingly painful, irregular,…

Taco Bell!!!
Call it bad. Call it gross. But I loves me some Taco Bell. It's pretty much the only fast food I eat anymore, mostly cause I find they're the only place that doesn't taste like salted grease. They've had a pretty extensive nutrition menu, but I was always annoyed that they didn't include the condiments/toppings, as there…

Some of your weirder creations :D
I don't follow IIFYM really, but do try to get a good portion of my targets for the day. However, I no longer cook in fat, and eat a lot more lean meats and such, so often find myself needing more fats at the end of the day. If I realize in time I'll throw a buttery sauce into dinner, but otherwise I just look around the…

Tapioca Noodles?
So I went out with friends to my favorite Pho place last night for boba tea, but couldn't pass up getting my favorite soup to go, for lunch or something today. It comes with everything separate so I figured I'd take the time to weigh everything. This particular soup uses tapioca noodles... of course, already cooked.…

Reached goal size, still over healthy BMI.... what now?
I've lost ~60 lbs in the last ~7.5 months and am now juuuuust shy of the 'top' end of a healthy BMI. As in, within 2lbs. However, I am now at my goal size of 6, which is where I was prior to getting pregnant (and also 30 lbs lighter than my current weight though WAY more muscular and toned than I am now). I really have no…

Went to Golden Coral last night...
... and was pleasantly surprised! Kiddo's birthday and he picked that (of all places, urrgh!) for dinner. I figured I'd just pick at stuff as I wasn't all that hungry and had been eating as normal all day. Then walked in and got a whiff of the butter yeast rolls and just went 'nope, gunna just enjoy this!'. It turned out I…

'Korean' puffed cereal cookies?
There is an absolutely amazing Asian food market walking distance from my home, and after finally trying (and loving!) shirataki noodles I went yesterday to buy a bunch. Spotted these dinner-plate-sized 'cookies' on my way to pay, boggled, looked at the nutrition info to see just how horrible they were... only to find…

Super cheesy lasagna for two!
I actually save my calories and eat this by myself when I'm craving melted cheesy goodness, as no one else in my family likes tomato sauce, but split in half it's still a gigantic portion and goes great with a side salad! Note this is not intended to be any kind of 'alternative' -- just a way to make a real lasagna with a…
