PCOS...looking for fellow Cysters....
I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome last fall. I was on Metformin for two months, but went off of it and all the other medications I was on at the time. I will be starting it again this week, and will be back full time on my journey to get healthy. I'm hoping to find other ladies that have PCOS, so we can…

Screwed up my shoulder :( ~Rant~
Warning...Ranting ahead... Okay, so several years ago I injured my shoulder. I ended up with a tiny hairline fracture of the bone, which didn't require surgery. I've re-injured it several times since then, and the newest time being yesterday. I started the 30 Day Shred yesterday. So it looks like I won't be able to do it.…

Full Body Photos...
So when I began this weight loss journey, I knew i needed to lose weight. I was, however, unsure of how much. I have lost between 20 and 30lbs now, and I'm feeling good. I have always had issues with my weight (I actually made a post the other day about it, and wanted to again thank everyone for their opinions). Now I…

Meshing Atkins and South Beach?
I've been basically winging it since I started my weight loss journey in January. I'm having issues now, losing the rest of the weight. So I get discouraged, and cheat. But then the scale doesn't move, or the measurements don't go down, so I get depressed and say screw it, I'll just eat this! So I'm interested in trying…

Different Body Types....
Okay, so I've had issues with my body my whole life. I think it comes partially from idolizing an older sister who was very petite (she passed away Oct 09). I lived a pretty secluded childhood, picked on and made fun of a lot. So I never really developed a "healthy" body image. Always struggling to achieve what I thought I…

Some progress photos.....
I haven't weighed since 4/6 and my total lost so far was 15lbs at that point. My weight loss has slowed down since March, but that's okay. I originally began my weight loss journey with a medication from my doctor. But I have been off it since St. Patty's day. I didn't like all the risks with it or the side effects I had.…

Newly vegetarian, and looking for others to befriend :)
I have no vegetarian friends, so I feel isolated sometimes. My fiance eats veg with me at home, but when we go out to eat it's no holds barred. My daughter is veg with me at home as well, but she will still eat what daddy has while we're out. He is very supportive of my choices, and never says anything negative about them.…

35 days between pictures...I'm seeing changes...
I know these pictures are HUGE, but if you right click them, and hit view image you can see them better :happy: I'm the type of person that has to stay motivated or I fall off the wagon, and I fall hard. Between the first and second picture, there is 25 days, and between the second and third pictures, there is only 10…

It's amazing what changes your body can make...
I was a big soda drinker before I started my weight loss journey. I'm talking at least two 44oz cups from the gas station up the street. :embarassed: So then I went to diet to avoid caffeine withdrawal headaches. I was drinking about 2 cans a day, which is a huge step. So then I tried incorporating more water, but didn't…

Pulled the old jeans out of the bottom of the closet...

Okay, first progress pictures. Be gentle, please...
Couldn't get pictures to cooperate on here, so I posted them to my profile :ohwell:

What to do about local restaurants???
We went to a local restaurant tonight, and I had my favorite. I'm sure not the healthiest item on the menu, but definitely not the worst. I didn't eat all of it either. Problem is, this place is a local establishment, so they don't have a nutrition fact guide for their foods. Typically with local places I will find…

The number on the scale actually went down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, so I know it wasn't much, but IT WENT DOWN! I'm so excited!!! I need to set my goals. I think meeting them will help keep me motivated. Small goals all the way up to the big goal. I'm honestly not 100% sure what I want my final goal to be. As of now it's between 135lbs and 140lbs. I will re-evaluate as I lose more to…

I want to do this so bad...
I'm so miserable. Before our daughter, I was steady at 130-135. At my heaviest during pregnancy I was 180. I delivered at 35weeks, so I probably would have gained a bit more still. I'd lost around 20 when I went in for my post-partum check-up. So I was at about 160. I'm now between 175-180 and miserable. My goal is to get…

Wii Sports Calories Burned!
After searching online I found data on calories burned from playing Wii Sports! YAY! I love playing them, so it's like I'm not even exercising! I plan to buy a Wii Fit, but until then, this will hold me over! Wii Bowling: 77 Calories per 15 minutes of play time Wii Tennis: 92 Calories per 15 minutes of play time Wii…

Hi everyone. I need some input.
I have tried numerous times to use this site to lose weight. I am very unhappy with my physical appearance figure wise, and had a shocking face slap when I saw a picture of myself in a swimsuit. I want to cry. How did I let this happen? I mean, I know I had a baby, but so did several of my friends and I'm the only one…

I'm not completely new, but I've fallen off the wagon...
I keep trying to lose weight, I just keep giving up. I am so unhappy with my body right now, I'm miserable. I just had my daughter June 1st, but I was unhappy with my weight before I even got pregnant. My biggest problem is SODA! I HATE IT! I try to drink other stuff, but I live a block and a half from the gas station and…

I need to vent....
I need to vent soooo badly, so I hope you all don't mind. I really want to do this, but no matter what I try, I fail. I make poor food choices, then feel guilty afterwards. I am sooo mad at myself for the things I eat. It's not that difficult...just don't eat the candy bar. Don't drink the soda. Don't go for the cheese on…

Fell off the wagon, or so I thought.
I've been having a really hard time with the whole weight loss thing. I really want it, but I just kept screwing up. Or so I thought. I have had problems in the past with unhealthy methods of weight loss, so I don't even keep a scale at my house. I haven't been able to weigh myself since I started. I weighed the other day,…

I can't stand plain water 80% of the time, I can't drink anything with aspartame or splenda...Help! I need a good thirst quencher low on calories! HELP!:sad:

Looking for a fellow newbie to be my fitness buddy!
I'm one of those people who do better with things if I have someone right there next to me. I think it would help me if I had a fitness buddy I could make goals with, and check in with every day. I am currently addicted to soda, and junk food. If you are in a similar boat with me, and would like to have a friend to go…

I'm new here...
I'm new to this site, and I'm just looking for some tips on starting exercise. I have a 5week old baby, so I can't go out running or anything, I need stuff I can do at home. I'm at a loss...
