Can you see a difference? (pics)
These pictures were taken on June 28th. These were taken just a few minutes ago. I've only lost about 5 pounds in the past month, but I think I can see a difference. Can you see any difference, and if so, where?

Foods avoided/limited due to lack of self control
I do let myself enjoy these foods every now and then, as I don't think deprivation is the way to go. However, I have to strictly control the supply, because once I start eating them, I can't stop. -Nacho Cheese Doritos (put the whole bag in front of me and I will eat the entire thing without thinking twice.) -Pretty much…

Water weight w/ no period?
I've been on Depo for PCOS for about a year and a half now, so I've stopped having periods. I do still PMS, but not as much. Breast tenderness is about it, but I've noticed I do gain a few pounds at a time once every month. However, because I no longer have periods, I don't know what my TOM is now...lol. My question…

Watermelon :(
So delicious, but so high in sugar.

Foods that upset your tummy during a workout
A few years ago, at school, I had pizza for lunch. 2 small slices. BAD IDEA! I ate around 12, and had soccer practice around 3:30. The pizza didn't sit very well on my stomach and I got sick in the middle of running. I also used to drink diet coke during my practices...that was also a very bad idea. I was very young and…

What diet friendly foods have you found you love?
Yesterday I tried oatmeal for the very first time and I LOVE it! I ate the Active Lifestyle Almond & Cranberry for breakfast this morning. Delicious. Right now I'm eating the Dannon Oikos Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt. The texture is kind of weird, and it's a bit tart, so I added a packet of Splenda for some flavor! It's…

How much can you leg press?
Just wondering :) The last time I leg pressed was about 5 years ago (I was 13)...I could leg press roughly 300 lbs. Idk what I could do now.

Pants NSV!
I have a pair of dress pants I wear, which are a 10 petite. They are super comfy and were a little big on me, even when I was 26 pounds heavier.. but now they fall off and I can't wear them anymore. :( My mom used to be really small and she found an old pair of skinny jeans she can no longer fit into that are a size 4…

Favorite salad dressing?
Mine is Blue Cheese! I don't put it on salad (too rich), but I will enjoy a few tablespoons with some chicken every now and then for a flavor boost :) What is your favorite salad dressing?

Stop bashing!
I see threads on here all the time with people bashing others for looking a certain way. Please, just stop. It's disgusting. We are all here for the same reason. To lose weight and get fit, obviously. Stop bashing people for being too big/too little and focus on YOUR body and YOUR goals. Not everyone else's.

Does protein make you fat?
I've gone over on protein by 45g today, but am still under my calories and all other macros. Can too much protein make you fat? I've consumed 99g of protein today, and I weight 126 pounds.

Losing weight consistently every day...
My activity level is set to sedentary, and I eat 1,200 calories a day. I either hit that, or get VERY close to it. On days I exercise, I eat back a good chunk of my exercise calories (most of the time more than half). I've been losing small amounts of weight consistently every day (like, 2-4 ounces). I started at 128.8 and…

Question about a muscle...
When I lift my arms up, I notice HUGE pockets/dimples right above my collarbone and below my shoulder on both sides. They're really close to my neck. I started strength training not too long ago (push ups and stuff, no gym yet) and I'm wondering if this is new muscle I've either never noticed I had, or not had until now.…

Is Kale good?
I've heard Kale is very good for you, but I've never tried it. I saw some in the grocery store yesterday and it looked pretty good, but I didn't get any. How does it taste and what can you eat it with?

Grocery store NSV!
I went into Kroger today. You know how in grocery stores they put all the cakes and deli stuff in the very front, so it's the very first thing you see when you walk in? Yeah. I walked past the deli and smelled the fried chicken and I almost went nuts! lol I LOVE fried food! I walked past it and never thought about it…

Need some more calories..
I need more calories, but I only have 1g of sugar and 1g of fat left. What can I eat?

Is PCOS always insulin resistant?
I was diagnosed with PCOS about a year and a half ago. My doctor put me on Depo-Provera and Metformin (stopped taking it because of the side effects). I've lost 23 pounds with diet and exercise. My doctor never told me I was insulin resistant, but I've heard that PCOS is ALWAYS accompanied by insulin resistance, because it…

Starving after exercise = good burn?
I ate right before I worked out today, but when I got done working out and cooled off I was starving. My question is... if you are really hungry after you are done working out, is that a sign of a significant burn?
-
Is PCOS always insulin resistant?
I've heard that it is, but I don't know if that's true or not. My doctor never told me anything about me being insulin resistant, but I've been told that insulin resistance must be present for PCOS to manifest. Help??

How would you reward yourself?
I reward myself periodically by buying small things (bought a heart rate monitor yesterday). When I reach my goal weight of 120 pounds, I want to reward myself. I just don't know how I want to go about doing it. I don't want something extremely expensive or anything like that. I was thinking about getting a small tattoo in…

Anyone else get really sleepy after exercise?
I've just noticed that a few hours after I work out, I get really really sleepy. It doesn't happen all the time though. Does this happen to anyone else? and why does this happen?

Yay!!
I've been on MFP for 5 days now and I've already lost almost a pound :D I was skeptical at first about whether or not this site works, but obviously it does. Not a success story, just a success on a long journey :D

Need help. What to eat?
Take a look at my food diary and give me some suggestions of what I can eat, or whether or not I need to eat any more. I have 132 calories left, and I know I need to eat more, but I don't want to go any further over fat and sugar. Help? :/ Sorry, 187 calories. Not over on fat yet. I need ideas of what I can eat that is low…

What inspired you to lose weight?
In January, shortly after being diagnosed with PCOS, I got up to 150 pounds. I know that doesn't sound heavy at all, but I'm only 4'11. I was eating junk all the time. Wings, cheeseburgers, fries, Chinese food, drank tons of soda, and I didn't exercise. I would go to work, eat the above on my lunch break, and then go back…

Tone without weights??
Can you guys give me some good moves I can do to tone my body? I don't have weights and would have no place to put them if I did and the gyms around me are either too expensive or just not good gyms. I want some moves I can do to strengthen and tone my muscles. I do my strength training shortly after finishing my cardio,…

-22 pounds (Pics!)
So far I've lost 22 pounds. I didn't take any before pics, all I have is what I look like now. My current weight is 128 pounds, I would like to get down to 120 pounds, maybe lighter, but for right now 120 is my goal :) I've been doing cardio about 4x a week and strength training 6x a week.

What things do you go over?
I went over on my carbs for today by less than 100g and sugar by 4g. I went over my carbs because of the 7 OUNCES of whole grain spaghetti I had for dinner :( Wah! Should I be worried? & what things, if any, do you go over on?
