PCOS Friends
Hey there! So I was recently diagnosed with PCOS. Due to a blood clot a couple years ago, I am unable to take birth control to attempt to correct the issue, so diet and weightloss it is! I have started to eat mostly organic/unprocessed foods and set up a mini challenge for myself over the next year to lose 70+ pounds. I am…

NSV: My first Spartan Race
So I completed my first ever Spartan Race yesterday. All my MFPals are probably like "she is never going to stop talking about this" but ya know....I am very proud of myself. So I'm going to scream it from the rooftops while I can. This is my NSV. I got so consumed in how happy I've been lately with my new amazing…

The Scale Don't Know Sh**
So I started on MFP 11 months ago. At the time I was starting a Biggest Loser competition at work. I got my body fat percentage tested and it was 43.2% and I weighed 201 lbs. Over the year I have done really good (got down to 188 lbs) then went through a rough divorce and gained it all back. I've slowly started to lose it…

NSV - Ran my first 5K!
I just had to share with everyone! I ran my first 5K last night! It was amazing and a huge accomplishment for me. It really proved to me that I can do anything I set my mind to. I had been "training" off and on for a couple months but over the past few weeks I let myself fall off course and didn't do much in the way of…

Anyone else doing the Glow Run in Omaha tonight? I think it'd be cool to get some MFP people together and get a picture taken or something. :drinker:

Runners! Diagnose me!
I recently started to mix jogging into my 30-60 minute walks after not running since July. I went and bought brand new running shoes that I wore for about a week for walking to help break them in. I was told I was a little flat footed so they had me buy a pair of shoes that offered arch support. They are super comfortable…

Fitness after illness
So I suppose I'm looking for people who can share their success story with me who have overcome an illness of some type. A little about me: I am 23...last summer I took a long flight (about 32 hours worth of flying in 1 month) while on NuvaRing. About 3 weeks after I returned I started to get short of breath. At this time…
