From Obese to a size 4- 61 lbs down with PCOS!
From the time I was young, I have always been overweight, noticeably from I would say the age of 8. I remember being noticeably bigger than all of the other girls that I played sports with, having to buy XL uniforms, when I was just as active as any of my other friends. Sure, I did not eat a super "clean" diet as a child,…

From a 16 to a 6 in less than a year! With Pics!
I have been heavy my whole life since I was a little kid. It wasn't until high school that I found out that I had PCOS and only until college that I started to understand how difficult it was for me to truly lose weight and keep it off. Having been a yo-yo dieter who was sick of seeing hardly any returns for all of the…

30+ lbs down, pics of difference in face
Looked at pictures from my college graduation about 7 months ago and compared them to a picture that was taken of me this last weekend. About half way to my goal weight! Today was also the first day that male coworkers made comments about my weight loss! Funny, they seemed nervous :)

Carbs/sugar in the morning - PCOS
Hello everyone! I definitely run late in the morning and feel like if my breakfast isn't easy to grab or I can't make it at work, then I'm just not going to eat it. I have a Chobani greek yogurt (fruit flavored) and either some granola or a piece of fruit with it. Maybe a latte. Is it bad to eat this many carbs/much sugar…

PICS! 43 lbs down with PCOS & Broken Foot!
When I started my weight loss journey July 1st of last year to get in shape for my sister's wedding, I never truly believed in myself or that I could ever be "skinny" <-- whatever that really means. Almost 11 months later, I am smaller than I have ever been in my life since I can remember growing up. I have struggled with…

Spring time NSV!!!
Went to Target during my lunch break and decided to try on some of the new spring clothes that they have out. Of course there were shorts, and while I have told myself my whole life "You can't wear shorts" I put on a pair and they actually looked pretty good!! No cellulite in my legs either anymore :) Definitely made for a…

feeling disconnected from weight loss
Needing some serious mental motivation. I feel like i'm getting down on myself because recently I haven't had fitness goals that I've been working towards since getting a stress fracture in my right foot and per doctors orders I have to rest it. It's making eating the same foods everyday mundane, and I feel more hungry.…

What do you reward yourself with?
Hey Everyone! I'd like to get some ideas for what other people have rewarded themselves with after hitting certain milestones. I feel like I've been doing this for quite some time now (7 months), but without having any real goals to hit besides being in my sister's wedding in July. I'm wondering what people do to reward…

HELP! Stress fracture in right foot, need suggestions!
Hello everyone! I am 90-95% sure that I have another stress fracture on my 4th/5th metatarsals in my right foot where I got one a few years ago. For the last 6-7 months I have been working out religiously (at least 5-6 days a week if not twice a day). I know that the best thing for stress fractures is to let it rest, not…

Ladies with PCOS
Hi, I'm 22 years old and was diagnosed with PCOS back in 2008/2009 and have not tried to make true lifestyle changes in terms of diet and exercise until now. I have been overweight my entire life (since around age 8). Now that I understand the basis of PCOS (hormonal imbalances coupled with insulin resistance), I attribute…

Comments at work
Every Tuesday, the company I work for pays for the staff to get a meal each week brought in from take out. Ironically, I am in charge of this program and choose where we get to eat. There have been several occasions where I continued to bring my own lunch from home just because I didn't want the high calorie take out…

Self confidence cycles
I have lost approx. 25 lbs now, and I have a hard time seeing myself as being smaller ( I have been overweight/obese for the majority of my life). Sometimes I feel like the only way that I physically see a difference is when I try on older jeans that are too loose for me now. I feel that now that I'm down 25 lbs down, I'm…
