PCOS and High Fat Diet

TRX Suspension Training

I had injured my knee in high school so that's great for me but the price it higher than I want to pay right now. If I'm going to pay that much for a "workout…

Jillian Michaels DVD
I recently bought the beginners DVD and the 30DS DVD. I was wondering if it would be best to just do one or the other? Or combine both for an insane workout? I haven't tried either one yet so I don't know how hard they are. I quit my gym membership so I now workout at home. I was hoping to find something to take up the…

Thanksgiving Office Party
Ok... So, my office is having a Thanksgiving lunch today!!! I didn't know about it. So, here's what's on the menu: Turkey, Ham, Cornbread Dressing, Green Beans, Corn, Gravy, and Rolls. I love green beans and corn, so no problem with the veggies. Which is better: Turkey or Ham? and Cornbread Dressing or Rolls?

What to eat when going out?
Hey... I eat a TON of salads and soups. I'm kinda getting tired of it. I still love them but I need some more variety. I also need ideas from fast food places that's healthy, a good amount of food with low calories/fat. My office is always ordering food from local places and I need healthy choices!!!!

Phentermine
Ok... so my dr. put me on Phentermine to help control my appetite (I don't eat much anyway) because he said I need to lose weight because I'm fatigued, etc (Really, all symptoms of hypothyroidism but he doesn't want to test). I ate twice today and maybe two or three bites. No real meal. I've been really excited (not…

New Workout?
Hey guys. Does anyone have a new excercise routine that works? I need to switch up my routines in order to start losing more. I found out that your body starts to get used to a workout after about 2 weeks. So in order to keep losing the weight, changing a routine makes the difference. Any suggestions?

Newbie
Hey. I'm new here. I've had a profile for a while but never got into this until my Dr. told me to lose 40 lbs. That's lovely. I'm on a 1200 limit too. I need motivation (besides being mad at myself for gaining 25 lbs since I've been married). I've lost weight before and kept it off then I got married and started a really…
