Taking a fiber supplement and some other questions.
Let me preface by saying I have PCOS and have a hard time losing weight, despite staying within my calorie range and working out 3 to 4 times a week. I have been working with a trainer twice a week for about 6 to 7 weeks now and haven't lost a pound (the last time I weighed about 2 weeks ago). My legs are much firmer now…

Back fat
Out of all of my fat, I hate my back fat the most. In fact, I had it lipo'd several years ago but it has reappeared with weight gain. I want to lose about 35 pounds although this isn't a set number. I basically just want to look good naked. How much did you have to lose to get rid of the back fat? Feel free to share…

Starving after working out
I do my workout of the evening (elliptical and some weight lifting) and I am so hungry afterward. I had already eaten dinner this evening and was still hungry after working out. I had a little bit more dinner, which was roast beef and carrot with onions. Then a handful of fresh blueberries and one strawberry with a little…

Losing weight without cardio
Is it possible to lose weight by keeping calories low (1300 to 1500) and lifting weights, without cardio? I have been doing about 10 to 15 minutes on the elliptical to warm up, then lifting weights and doing squats and lunges for about 15 minutes or so. I have only been doing this a little over a week and I don't have a…

Anybody doing low carb
I need to have a low carb diet (due to PCOS) and around 1500 calories. I just bought protein powder so I can replace a meal or even just use it for extra protein. I am having a hard time getting started and have been eating more carbs that I realize at the time. (Today was a bad, bad day.) Can any low carb people show me…

Lack of energy
Does anybody else have this problem? And how do I solve it? I am doing decent with eating better, laying off the sweets, etc. However, I have very little energy. I want to get back into the routine of working out 4 to 5 days a week but I am usually too tired. And it gets much worse around PMS time. It's like just my daily…

Cooking when you have a family
Not sure I'm posting this in the right forum, but how do you deal with cooking healthy when your family doesn't like what you make? My husband and kids will only eat baked chicken for so long. Fish (unless it's in the form of a stick or breaded fillet) never goes over well. They will eat whole wheat spaghetti and a few…

Need a total life overhaul
Where do I even begin? I have dieted and exercised on and off over the years but never really lost a significant amount of weight (23 pounds at the most when I was breastfeeding and doing Weight Watchers 9 years ago). I probably weigh around 181 right now and have been at this weight for a year or so. I am only 5'. I'm not…

Dealing with PMS and PCOS
How do other people deal with their PMS cravings? I do great with eating and staying close to 1200 to 1400 calories (I'm new to MFP but have been tracking my food for the past month or so) until I get to the week of PMS. Yesterday, I had 3 slices of veggie lovers Pizza Hut pizza, not all at one time, but throughout the…
