Women with 50-100+ lbs to lose?!
Replies
-
Hey everyone! I am looking to lose about 80 pounds and this isn't my first go at tracking. I've recently begun treatment for PCOS, which should help, but would love some support(and vice versa)!1
-
@ShrinkinMel - what is PCSO?
Poly cystic ovary syndrome ( it was formally called Stein Levanthal).
I have it also, along with Insulin resistance and low vitamin d.
I am 57 and looking to lose between 80-100pounds. Fell free to add me.
Yep. Low Vitamin D here too. And added anemia now, from mild to moderate anemia, after being put on Metformin so I have a goal to get off that completely by the end of the year. Maybe sooner. I reduced my dosage to half so I just take my night dose. My fasting is still improving. I'll get my labs done but at home it's improving greatly with the exercise and slow steady losses I've been having helping a lot I'm sure. I do know exercise helps with insulin quite a bit.
I take my metformin(and also a beta blocker for bp and to keep my heartrate from going over 100-120 at rest) vitamin D, iron, b complex and calcium magnesium supplements. Along with currently a cod liver oil supplement. Oh and my darn daily zyrtec allergy pill. My season is year round. LOL But most of the year it's not pollen or whatever unknown outdoor causes, I have 2 cats one of them spends a lot of time in my bedroom. If I don't let her in she claws the carpet at the door. Getting rid of them is not an option for me.
Love cats. I don't mind taking supplements but sure would be nice to not need them I just hate taking meds but would be happy to get rid of the two prescription ones and just have allergy pill and supplements. 0 -
A friend of mine has PCOS. I myself have polycystic ovaries. I'll add you people0

"Part of my problem is that I truly hate to cook. I would rather get fast food. I don't know how to get started. "
Unfortunately, if you don't cook, you won't succeed - but you can do the slow-cooker thing. One pot will feed a family for one night, or a couple for two - I usually cook once and eat twice... LOVE my crockpot. I spend a few minutes in the morning before I leave for work, and when I come home, dinner is bubbling in the pot and the house smells like heaven.
PLUS you have total control over what goes into it, and even the cheapest cut of meat comes out tender after 8 hours on low heat.
And, really, if you find good recipes, the crockpot food has way more flavor and nutrition than anything you can buy on your way home.
**TIP FOR LIVING** One day a week, on Saturday or Sunday - chop onions and celery, other veg - and put it into zip lock bags in your fridge. Then you just grab the measuring cups and go to town on the crockpot during the work-week.
You can do the same thing if you like eating Salad - chop all the toppings and have them on hand, so it's not a chore to eat good stuff. Think of meal prep like laundry or housekeeping, a chore that you take care of on the weekend.
Good Luck!
