Looking for a body twin! 5'3", 140lbs
Sorry if this is in the wrong area, I wasn't sure where to post! SO, I'm looking for a body twin so we can help eachother with goals. I enjoy having friends with different weight goals, but I'd think it'd be nice to have a few people who are about the same height and weight as I am, with around the same goal weight as…

Comforting eating for a loss/stress
I really am in the need of some support and I'm reaching out I guess. My grandmother recently passed away in June on my husband's birthday, I lived with her pretty much all my life and she was basically my mother. Ever since then, my eating habits have swirled out of control into craziness. In Sep 2012, I changed my…

Re-Introducing myself, feeling kind of down but hopeful
I've been on here for a while, but I've kinda gotten out of logging everything and signing in, thus I am re-introducing myself! I'm Amanda, I'm 22 years old and I got a little disordered with my eating and got off track. I couldn't track everything I put into my mouth because I felt like ALL I was thinking about ALL the…

Anyone else starting Keto?
Today is my first day! I'm excited as I have kind of messed up with my diet these past few months. But I've read a lot of good things about the Ketogenic diet. I'm interested in trying it and as I have PCOS it is always better for me to have low amounts of carbs anyway. Plus, bacon. Also, I was wondering if anyone else…

Does anyone else get these?
I've been getting like.. boils and such since I was about 18, and now they are much more frequent. I know this isn't a pretty topic to touch on but everything in life isn't pretty, lol. I used to be really upset by them until I stumbled across a community of PCOS'ers that had a topic on it being a result of PCOS. Just went…

I am finally in the "normal" weight category!
I just wanted to share a huge success (at least in my eyes, lol). I've finally gotten to 140.0 from 175 last year. 175 which is considered obese for my height of 5'3". However, I am finally NO longer considered "obese" or more recently even, "overweight." I am finally in the normal category and this really means a lot to…

Diet and PCOS
Anyone else here doing a low carb diet? If so, what are you eating? This has worked for me, but I was wondering if anyone else too has had success with low carbing and PCOS? :D

Arm fat question
I tend to lose weight off my midsection first (woo hoo!) when losing weight. My whole body is slimming down and I'm starting to dig my body, but my arms still kinda look... odd in comparison. They're not super huge, don't get the wrong impression. They just carry a tad more fat then I'd like to be seeing on the back of my…

Newbie lifting advice for women, please?
Hiya, as the title reads, I want to get into lifting! I am pretty weak at the moment as far as lifting weights goes and I'd like to change that. I don't really have weights more then 8lbs at my house, so I'm going to be starting up a gym membership tomorrow (hence me asking this question, since they have *actual* heavy…

What do you guys do for a living?
Right now I'm trying to get ready to go to uni and figure out what I wanna do for the rest of my life. (No pressure) I'm kinda having trouble choosing just one thing since there are a lot of things I'd like to do. I think I might try to be an animator since everyone in my family has been telling me since I was a kid I have…

Calorie confusion, help please
Hi, I'm 5'3" and trying to lose about 35 pounds. I'm stuck right now at 156. I seem to be pulled in different directions with how many calories I should be eating. I workout every day, (doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred workouts, averaging 28 minutes, occasionally doing a few dancing games before or afterwards) but…

Woo hoo! I can post here! :D
I am kinda proud so I am going to post here for the first part of the shred. Tomorrow I am starting level two, so this is my tenth day. I've been feeling pretty good about how my body is changing so I wanted to brag a little, lol. I have been doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred workout and I just wanted to show you guys…

Long distance relationship, anyone else in the same boat?
Or an "LDR" for short. I'm missing the love of my life immensely right now who's English. I'm in America. =( I've known him for almost 7 years, and it's almost our first anniversary as a couple, kinda finding it hard, but I know we'll push through the difficult times. After he goes to bed on Skype, it's still early-ish…

Help with ignoring people that aren't supportive?
I really need a few tips to try and ignore the people around me and/or not let them get to me, as I've been finding it hard lately. I am 160 pounds, 5'3" and trying really hard to lose more weight. I went down from 175 in a few weeks which was a big thing for me, my goal is 125 or 130. But my family/friends/boyfriend, all…

Should I ask to go on Metformin?
Hi guys, I have been on birth control pills for about 3 in a half years now since I was diagnosed with PCOS. Some of my issues have gotten somewhat better as far as the hair loss and hair in unwanted areas goes, but my skin issues are bad lately. I read on a few forms that Metformin has helped a few women with this issue.…

Actually have started losing! :D
It's not THAT much, but it's a lot for me. I deal with PCOS and it's a pain in the *kitten* for some of us to lose the weight. I've really have been watching what I've been eating. A few months ago I was 175 pounds-ish and right now I'm 161!! I'm so, so happy! I've finally been able to start losing weight, makes me happy…

Constantly worried about gaining it back
I'm kinda having a rough night at the moment I guess. I seem to have two relationships with food that I've recently acknowledged. One; I want to eat everything in sight, and the second is I can't even bare to look at it, let alone scarf it down. I'm currently on a pretty good route to losing some weight, I've lost 4 pounds…

Is it ok to have one cheat day?
So today was my "cheat" day, I've been seriously watching what I've been eating for the first time in forever and sometimes I just can't handle it. I'm the only person in my house watching what I eat since the two people I live with (my grandma and younger brother) are both sticks anyway. I get frustrated sometimes that I…

What are some good healthy smoothies to try?
I like smoothies and want to make them in my diet more regularly, however, I am a smoothie noob. The most popular I've heard of are Slimfast's smoothie's, are they good? Bad? Should I make my own instead? Are smoothies even that healthy at all? Any tips will be appreciated!

Looking for some support
Hi everyone, my name is Amanda and I literally just made this account like 5 minutes ago. I totally screwed up my healthy habits today by eating fast food and I'm angry at myself. Found this site through someone on Tumblr. I think I am in need of some support, it is really difficult doing this on my own without any help or…
