Try not to think about the numbers on the scale. Have you taken your measurements? Remember you are working from the inside out. Although you may not see results they are happening inside you. Keep up the amazing work you are doing.

Consider yourself supported!!! I sent you a PM. You got this Nicole!

I was put on metformin when we were going through infertility. I personally hated it. I think I lost 10 lbs when I was on it and then nothing after that. The side effects were awful and I always felt like crap. I got used to it after a while but we decided to give up on infertility treatments after thousands of dollars…

Welcome to the group!!

Try hard not to get discouraged. It is so tough trying to be happy when we fight what feels like a never ending battle. All that I have found that works for me is to take inositol every morning, omega-3 and folic acid supplements, and I love and breathe beachbody's programs. I started with T25 and have noticed so many…

Alright ladies I sent you all invites!! Let's get our steps on!

Your stories are so inspirational! I am 31 and diagnosed with PCOS about 3 years ago when ttc. I've had 5 failed iui. Dr. Started talking about ivf and i was too depressed to try again. On jan. 3rd I decided I wanted to try and get control of my pcos on my own. I've lost 14.2 lbs so far and have notice lots of changes in…

Thanks that was a lot of good info. I started taking Inisotil about 2 weeks ago. I'm curious how long did it take you to regain your periods?

Yea I've been keeping body measurements. They have shown some changes in the right directions. I just really want to get control of my PCOS. There is a voice in my head that keeps repeating the line from studies "if you lose 20% of your weight you could regain your periods and possibly fertility." I feel this is why I want…

Hi There! I was diagnosed with PCOS about 3 years ago. It has been a tough long journey but I've finally decided I can't take this lifestyle anymore. I have been on a low GI diet for about 27 days and am doing Focus T25 at home workout. I've lost 13.8lbs so far and an inch off my hops and 1.5 in from my waist. I LOVE T25.…

Thanks guys!

I am at day 18 starting weight was 292.2 and now I'm at 285.4. I also have PCOS and am taking supplement vitamins to help in battling some of those symptoms (weight gain is one). I have 119 lbs to lose from my start weight to reach my goal weight. Again, I'm not discouraged in how I'm feeling and the inches. I'm just…

Has anyone used the Jawbone?

I agree! Not eating when taking Metformin made it so much worse. I was on a pretty high dosage too. My first RE told me to take it all in the morning which made me feel like crap for the rest of the day. Then she told me to take it at night before going to bed which caused me to be very nauseous throughout the night and…

How long have you been taking Metformin? When I was on it I also had cramping and diarrhea. It took a while for my body to get used to it then I was fine. Unless I forgot to take it or script ran out before I could get to pharmacy which felt like my body starting over with getting used to it again.

After reading these posts yesterday and speaking to another member more I decided to try inositol myself. I took about 4g this morning and I am shock of how better I feel today then I have been. I've been through the ringer with infertility treatments and I don't even want to think about starting that again. I just want to…

Thanks! I have added you as a buddy! Together we got this!!

Hi ehagart! I was diagnosed about 3 yrs ago when hubby and i were trying to get pregnant. It's been a very tough and emotional journey. I'm here for you if you need a friend or any help along the way!

You are very welcome. You are not in this alone whether you have friends on FP or in your own social circle. You deserve to happiness and diet and exercise can help you get to your goals!! You got this!!

Sorry to hear about your loss. It is tough to find that motivation to keep moving when grieving. As hard as it is you have to be healthy and live life as well. Find something fun to do each day like going for a hike, walking with a friend to catch up, or even taking a zumba class. I'm always an advocate for yoga as it has…

Where do I find the group?

instead of a cheat day....how about a cheat meal?

oh and my friend has two very little girls and began the Focus T25 workout. It's an hour workout in 25 minutes. She has lost a ton of inches and looks amazing!! I ordered the DVDs and am waiting to get it in the mail so I can get my transformation underway like she did. Did I mention...You got this!!! You can do anything…

I think if you stick to a healthy clean (unprocessed) diet you should be fine with 1750. I weigh 289.4 and have been able to eat under my calorie intake which is making my total 1250-1650 daily. Oh and tooooonnnnnnssss of water! Congrats on the new baby and you totally got this!!

Hi ens102! That is a great app. You can also find many mindfulness meditations on youtube. I am working on my license in mental health and we had a whole class on this topic. We started each class with a different mindfulness meditation! It is great. Also if you are interest try yoga if you haven't already. Yoga was my…
