I lost 95 lbs and conquered my PCOS!
I have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) and I left it untreated for several years and just ignored my poor health. This lead to me having multiple miscarries, due to my hormones being out of whack and my body would automatically reject the potential baby. I also had prediabetes, but no longer due to my change in…

A year of winning through losing!
This weekend was Valentines Day, so I decided to wear the same dress (I wore it as a shirt) that I bought to wear last year for Valentines Day. Only this year was much colder so I put long sleeves on underneath. I could not believe the huge difference! I think it looks so much better on me this year! :happy:

2 years Before and Current! pics
I have been at this for 2 years. I am 5'5 and have lost 68 lbs so far. I struggle with PCOS, which makes it harder for me to drop the weight, but I just keep at it. I have dropped way more inches than lbs, so I get very frustrated with the scale, but very happy with my current size. I still find myself walking to the plus…

Bruises from exercise?
Can you get bruises from working out? Today I noticed 8 bruises (5 on the front of my right leg + 3 on the front of my left leg) My husband suggested it might be from exercise, but I had never heard of that happening? So now I'm assuming they are from starting back up my Zumba classes, because I honestly don't know where…

Couple lost 500lbs. together!
I just read this, and I teared up a little seeing the after picture. Just floored at the difference. Goes to show any-one if they put their mind to it can lose weight. I was never over 300 lbs, so my 59 pounds lost so far feels like nothing in comparison. This is just an amazing story! I had to share it.…

looking into buying a juicer
I've talked about buying a juicer for a while now and I'm finally planning on doing so. I'm just totally clueless on what to look for. My simple question is what do you use or recommend? If you bought a bad one tell so I don't get it either. Please and Thank you in advance.

This is what 40 lbs lost looks like!
This is my before and current pictures. I still need to lose 45 lbs to hit my GW of 140 lbs. I want to celebrate hitting the 40 lbs mark. It has taken me 11 months just to drop these 40 lbs. I have also gone from a size 20 to a size 12 and I'm loving every minute of it! It's so awesome not having to shop in the plus size…

Amazingly yummy wheat pancakes!
I used this recipe for my pancakes this morning. My changes were I added 1/2 cup regular white flour, cause it was too runny. I used 3 tsp Stevia in the Raw instead of 2 tsp sugar, and I used sea salt instead of plain salt. Anyways, they were delicious, and my husband (who is not a healthy eater by any means) liked them…

Down 35 lbs!
I'm not done yet, I started trying to lose eight about a month before finding MFP, so my ticker says different than the picture does. My GW is 140, so I have 50 left to shed, I can't believe how many inches I've lost just from trying to be healthy. I drink nothing but water, unsweetened tea, and milk now. I take vitamins,…

Had this weird dream....
Had this weird dream....I had just got off work, and I was riding a bike home (don't own one in real life) and about 2 or 3 block into my bike ride, I see this chocolate/candy shop. I go to park my bike, the kick stand doesn't work and I end up just leaning it against a wall. I go inside, only a few people there. The guy…

Obomacare....
So basically, if we don't pay for health insurance by 2014, we will be fined a penalty. The fine goes up each year after. Maybe if it was a little bit cheaper, people like us who are just barely above poverty level can afford it! I've done my research can't touch it for less than $200+ a month, that we just don't have.…

Being brave....swimsuit pictures
Well it's summer, and I'm going to the lake, with some friends this weekend. I have not worn a swimsuit in 2 years. Even though I have lost 24 lbs total this year, I'm not ready for a bikini. I'm going to wear a tankini, what do you think? Can I pull it off okay? I'm kinda nervous about it. Edited: took me forever to get…

Missing my baby
I know it was bound to happen eventually, but my cat Midnight just died a few days ago. She died of old age at 17. I miss her, and I know she's a cat, but she was also my child, especially since I can't have kids. I just can't get used to not seeing her everyday, I'm not sure if I can ever replace her. I'm just so…

My small NSP
I went window shopping at Kohls today with I friend I haven't seen in almost a year. Just for curiosity sake, I tried on a regular, not stretch, pair of size 14 jeans and they fit perfectly! I was so excited, I have not been less than a size 16/18 in years. I know I still have a long way to go, but since January I've…

I still have 60 lbs to loose, but I'm so proud of my progress so far. I'm already seeing inches gone off my body and that makes me feel more comfortable and confident. Can't wait to see what I look like when I'm at a healthy BMI range. :happy:

Jumping jacks?
I read that jumping jacks are great for the whole body and makes you more flexible and you can burn 100 calories just doing 10 minutes straight. So I try it and I can't do more that a minutes worth without feeling like I'm going to pee myself. So of course I run to the bathroom, and nothing. What the heck?! Does anyone…

My 1st NSP
I've been at this for about 2 months, I've lost 12.5 pounds and 1 pants size, so far. Yay! Anyways, I had dinner at the in-laws and my mother-in-law noticed I had lost some weight.

Jealous friend?
Sadly in my group of friends I'm the "skinny" one @ 210 lbs. and a size 16. My best friend (since preschool), who wanted me to get healthy with her, has been getting angry with me, and is on the verge of just giving up, because in the past two months, she's only lost 2 pounds and I've lost 12 pounds. I encourage her to…
