I started out at 4g and the weight was coming off but really slowly. I think that's partly because I'm now north of 40 haha! After I finished my first bottle I decided to up the dosage a bit to see if there was any improvement. Now I'm finding that my weight loss is steady at 1.5lbs per week. I think the combo of the…

One way I get my protein is my daily smoothie with protein powder in it. I sweeten it with Stevia and the only fruit in it is strawberries. At first it took some getting used to but now I look forward to my yummy afternoon snack. Boiled eggs for breakfast and chopped chicken breast with salsa are great snacks as well. I've…

Fantastic!! Can't wait to try some.

Thanks so much ladies! Some great ideas!

Thanks Alliwan. Found the board and am now following. I think I'll try the Almond Joy ones first!

I made myself a motivation board and hung it in my home office. I have pictures of outfits that I want to eventually wear, activities that I want to do (ie - paddle boarding) and motivational sayings that I like! (My new favorite - "What seems impossible today will one day become your warm up" - with a picture of a girl…

When I asked my nurse practitioner about Inositol she looked at my like I had three heads. Never heard of it! She really wanted me to go back to Metformin but I refused. I'm curious to hear what your doctor says about combining the two.

Hello fellow Canadians Here are a couple of Canadian websites that I found that carry Inositol. I haven't ordered from either yet. I got my first bottle of Inositol powder about 5 weeks ago through Amanzon.ca but it shipped out of the US (no duties or import taxes though - it just took a while). Please let me know if…

I've had a Mirena in place for almost 5 years now. As I was almost in my 40s and wasn't planning on any more babies, I had considered having a tubal but then OB said that wouldn't help with the lack of period and risk of uterine cancer. With the Mirena, the lining of the uterus doesn't thicken - very nice side effect -…

Hi ladies. In most of the studies I read they require folic acid be taken with the Inositol. I'm taking both along with Omega3 and vitamin D. For this using Inositol - are you taking folic as well?

Hi there!! Nice to see someone else from Ottawa on here! Two suggestions... 1- Cut out those carbs - anywhere you can! I'm doing 40% protein, 30% fat, 30% carbs - it's tough but doable! 2- Have you researched Inositol? I'm only on day three but very hopeful based on the studies! You can do it!!!!

Got my Inositol today. Yeah! Will report back in a few weeks on the early results! Also seeing the nurse practitioner on Wednesday for some additional guidance and blood work. I figure I can use all the coaching I can get my hand on! Have a great weekend ladies!

Hello ladies! I'm waiting for my Inositol delivery any day now. I am hopeful it will give me the extra edge I need because of the PCOS. So far I'm doing well. Down 10lbs in just over a month. Woohoo! I honestly believe I'm giving it 110% right now. I'm all in! I had a girlfriend visiting for the weekend and I didn't cheat…

Hi LauraH - where did you buy the Inositol? What brand? Does it taste like anything or can you really just mix it with water?

Hey there! I was diagnosed with PCOS in my late teens (I'm now 42). Back then, even my doctor had never heard of it. Believe it or not it was a Cosmo article about PCOS that might as well have been written about me made me see my doctor! For us PCOS'ers the key is low carb and low glycemic index. I was on Metformin for a…
