For those with PCOS: a question for you...
I am curious. I know that because of our PCOS, we have a weight retention problem. What medications and/or supplements do you currently take and what have you tried?

My very first NSV! YAY!
I'm a college student and most of the classrooms I am in have one-piece desks. Because of my weight, I barely fit in them. The tabletop cuts into my stomach and makes it hard to breathe. Well, I am taking summer classes and am in one of the classrooms with those desks and I fit in them! I don't have to suck in my stomach…

Need help choosing a good exercise program
I'm a little over a week into my new lifestyle and am wanting to add some kick to my exercise program. I have been walking 2 to 3 miles each day but want to add some toning and strength training to it to maximize calorie burn without going to the gym (still too self-conscious). I'm not athletic at all and need something…

I'm trying to lose this extra person I'm carrying around...
I am trying to go from 286 SW to 145. That's an entire person! I'm down 12 lbs in the first week (I have to brag!) and have been walking an hour (2 mile minimum) every day. I'm thinking about adding actual "workouts" in there and am restarting my gym membership (that I had for a year and used twice) this next payday. I…
