Thoughts on recent diagnosis
This week I was diagnosed with PCOS based on lab tests. Specifically LH:FSH ratio on day 3 of my cycle. After looking online, it doesn't look like this meets diagnostic criteria. I am normal weight (but have worked hard my whole life to be so). I have had three children. I do have cysts, but at my last ultrasound, they are…

One app to rule them all
What are the apps that have helped the most with weight loss? For me, the #1 most important and helpful app is hands down MFP. #2 is mealboard. I can use it to plans meals months in advance and make sure I always get what I need when I go grocery shopping. It has saved me tons on money too because I am way less likely to…

Loss...and not a good one.
Is anyone else sad/frustrated that some of the most helpful members have been banned from the forums? I get that some of the posts were little straightforward, but it seems like the baby was thrown out with the bath water.

What's your eating pattern?
Thought this might be of interest: http://www.mandolean.com/upl/files/7074.pdf Full disclosure: I went to a clinic run by the same group for eating disorder treatment in 2006. I think I was taught a linear eating pattern. I still have the device, but haven't used it in years. At this point, I'm not sure if my eating…

Anyone else doing the cabbage & espresso cleanse?
I may have made some less than smart food choices today... :/

I must be a special snowflake...
I lose 1-2 lbs during TOM. Every time. Then, if I maintain my deficit, I stay there and don't see a scale change until the next month. Rinse and repeat. Most other women I've seen on MFP have bloating and whatnot during TOM. Anyone else have weightloss?

Time for a new scale?
My scale (digital), gives me a bunch of numbers, generally within a 5 lbs range every time I step on. When I weigh in, I usually step on the first time and get a number that's too low, step on again and get a number that's too high, and then the third time it'll settle on a number that makes sense and if I try again, it…

Recipe builder on the fritz!!
A friend pointed out that when she put a food in on the recipe builder a day or two ago, it told her it was xx calories per serving; when she logged it, it was logged as much less per serving. Same thing happened to me today. I made chicken pot pies at 90 kcal each. When I go to log it, it becomes 65 kcal each, and nearly…

I wish this was easier
Started January 1, with a goal of 0.5lb per week. Just did the math, and I've lost closer to 1.5lbs per week. Obviously this is a CICO issue. I'm having a hard time figuring out what my calorie goal should be. I'm 5'0, and on Jan1, I was 137lbs. Today, I'm 115lbs. I have a feeling I was maintaining prior to January on…

Loosing weight but getting bigger?
MFP has been awesome for making the number on the scale go down and giving me insight into my eating habits. CICO has been the easiest thing in the world to understand and it works like freaking magic. Since January, I've gone from about 137-121lbs. (It says 12 pounds because I tried a year ago when I was at 130 and didn't…
