Wanting to drop half my *kitten*.
Hey guys. So, like you, I'm here to transform my already fabulous self into a thinner version of fab. I'd like to think I'm a thin chick trapped in a fatty's body. I'm over it. The more friends the merrier, so please! Feel free to add me :)

Understanding (PCOS?) and diet structure - Grr!
Hi there! I'm in sort of an interesting situation. I've battled weight issues my whole life, and I remember when I was 16, my periods and hormones seemed to get really out of whack. I never had any testing done, but my periods went from being fairly regular, to pretty much nonexistent. I had a bit of hersutism (excessive…

Zumba!
I've seen a lot of people posting that they've burned X amount of calories doing Zumba for X timeframe. How are you folks coming up with this? I don't see Zumba in the list of exercises, so I was just trying to figure out how this was figured. :) I've never done Zumba, but see it offered as a class at my gym and was…

Incredibly delicious low cal salad
Hey guys, Ran across this recipe on Ellie Krieger's site, and I gotta say, I make this at least once a week: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/chopped-nicoise-salad-recipe/index.html You can have two cups for under 300 calories, and it's *delicious*.

Suggestions for a person with PCOS?
Hey guys, Just kind of getting back into the diet thing more seriously. Had a bit of a plateau/lazy period, but I'm ready to tackle it again!

When was your 'rock bottom'?
I'm always curious to hear people's stories about when they decided to turn things around and stick to it. The similarities between food addiction and, say, a drug addiction, is sort of fascinating to me. You'd think rock bottom for me would have been when the doctor told me at sixteen I wouldn't live to see thirty if I…

Using your full calorie allotment?
Hey guys, For example's sake, I am allotted 1600 calories per day. Let's say I have 700 left and then I go walk somewhere for 30 minutes, gaining me 300. So now I have 1,000 remaining. Do you use the full 1,000? Or do you generally try to be under? Just wasn't sure what the train of thought on this was/how successful…

Cycle-o-fatassedry.
So here's the thing. I was looking through my report to see my "progress," and well. There really hasn't been any. I mean, I started this thing back in mid-April and I've lost a whopping thirteen pounds. I've only lost a whopping thirteen pounds because I get lazy. I know, I know. That's everyone, right? But I'm trying to…

Hi there! :) My name's Jenn, and I'm new to the site. I've tried dieting and losing weight numerous times, but I don't feel like I was ever really ready, until now. Yesterday was my one month anniversary and I'm pleased to say I've lost 9.1 lbs so far! :) I struggle with PCOS, which makes losing weight more difficult, so…
