Menstral Cycles and the big O(vulation)
Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone out there has been through a similar situation to mine. I was diagnosed with PCOS approximately 5 years ago. I started having heavy periods that lasted for like 6 months. By that time, I figured I either had PCOS or endometriosis. When I went to the doctor, they just wanted to put…

Weight/BMI limit for Clomid?
Hey everyone! I did some research when I last went to see my OB/GYN and I was totally expecting her to put me on Clomid in order to TTC. I was told to lose 65 pounds. I've thinking that my doctor was trying to be kind and gave me a more attainable number. I did the calculation and 185 would still put me in the "obese"…

Fat Jeans
I have a pile of clothes ranging from size 14 to size 22. That pile mostly contains clothes I grew out of. I'm not ashamed to admit that there are some brand new clothes that I bought through the years as motivation to lose weight.

My Ultimate Weight Loss Reward
I've started/stopped/revised this so many times and it's gotten nowhere so I think I'll just type until I run out of things to type. I'm kinda new to MFP but not new to struggling with my weight. I've always been heavy and I've always had an excuse for being heavy. I blamed everything from my mother to genetics to…
