women with PCOS/IR: post your macro ratio
Hi all, I'm playing around with my ratios, just curious how others with the same issues are doing with their goals. Could you post your carb-protein-fat ratio and how much success you've had on that ratio? Thanks!

PCOS resolving with age?
I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 19 and I've dealt with just about every symptom in the book. In 2005 I went on Yasmin to control symptoms and that helped tremendously so I stayed on it until about 4 months ago. Since coming off Yasmin, my periods have been every 28 days like clockwork, I'm showing signs of ovulation, and…

Windows 8?
Anyone LIKE it? And has anyone tried Windows 8.1? I'm buying a new laptop, I'm wondering if I should pay more to get Windows 7 or just accept the changes. I haven't tried out a laptop with 8 yet, I've only read reviews. PS: I don't care for Apple.

friend requests from strange men
I am getting a lot of friend requests from strange MEN lately. Like, what about my appearance makes me seem approachable to men? lol.. I don't see anything wrong with Muslim women adding NICE men for harmless conversation, fitness motivation and support, but the men who send me requests aren't looking for any of that. If I…

it's ok to not be superwoman all the time
This post made me smile. It's absolutely a great thing to see gifs and pics of strong women lifting heavy, but it's also refreshing to see that even super strong women get in a tight spot sometimes and it's nice that people come together to help out. This just warmed my heart and I wanted to share:…

naturally thin women who lift heavy
Sorry, I wasn't sure which category to put this in. I have an ectomorph frame, but with age (late 30s), my metabolism is no longer super-fast, it's just normal now, and I SUSPECT that because I have PCOS (meaning I have higher than normal levels of testosterone) I SHOULD be able to build muscle better than I used to. Even…

show me your guns!
No, not your biceps, haha. I mean, your actual personal weapons. Last night around 9pm, there was an attempted break-in at the apartment next door, but the would-be burglar was met with a large angry man with a gun, and ran off. First of all, who breaks into someone's home that early in the night and tries to kick in the…

how important is target heart rate?
My heart naturally beats fast all the time (like anywhere from 100-120 at rest), so I'm not sure how I'd adjust it to whatever my goal should be during cardio. Would my target stay the same except that I will reach it faster than most people, or does it even matter in terms of burning calories? Sorry if this is a dumb…

how many calories in this?
When I look up "chicken kebab skewer," I get anything from 60 calories to 600 calories. I put the dollar bill there for perspective. It's just grilled chicken breast, I don't taste any spices or oils. I've BEEN counting one skewer as 60 calories according to the "homemade" entry, but then I looked up other entries and now…
