I was just diagnosed with PCOS in May, and am taking Metformin. I need to lose about 40-50 lbs...I have been here on MFP for a while, but recently just changed my diet to limit my carbs and sugars to try and lose weight. I workout every morning before I go to work. Right now, I am doing the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge on…

So, fiber makes sense...I wasn't getting enough, so now I take a fiber gummy...should I stop taking them then?

So, if I'm reading some of the comments correctly, I am not the only one having "digestive" issues since being on Metformin? I'm not sure what is going on inside of my body, but it does not like either the pills or whatever I'm eating...yesterday was really bad for me...I had some dairy yesterday, so I thought that was the…

I actually think, since I started taking the Metformin, that the dairy has been giving me "issues." I can feel my belly gurgling when I eat yogurt or cheese. Never had that problem until just recently, or maybe I am just now noticing it...I don't know. I really appreciate everyone's comments and advice. Do ya'll have any…

I thought it was kind of weird that she said that. Unfortunately, I cannot change my doctor (military insurance kinda sucks with that)...I don't have to see her until after 6 months, so I'm not too worried...I will change up with what ya'll have suggested and keep ya updated!

Thank you so much for that information! When I go grocery shopping this weekend, I will get those items you suggested. As far as not getting many veggies, it's because I'm not a fan of veggies! I like broccoli, corn, and peas and that is about it. Hence the salad every day for lunch and the mini bell peppers. I have…

My endocrinologist told me to stop lifting weights and do light cardio until I lost 10% of my body weight. I've been doing that, and haven't seen a change at all...so maybe I should start up lifting again? I was doing it before I was diagnosed, but quit and just doing cardio. Jillian Michaels DVD 3x a week, boxing 2x a…

Thanks for the responses...I feel like I have to have snacks throughout the day. I drink a protein shake to get my protein intake in... My meals usually are: Pre workout: 1/2 apple almond butter Breakfast: Protein shake egg beaters turkey bacon coffee and creamer AM snack greek yogurt Lunch salad mini sweet bell peppers…

Hello! My name is Sherri. I've been in Tucson since June of this year. My husband is active duty AF, and we are stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB. I've been a member of MFP for a while now, and also have a FitBit. I have 3 children and 2 furbabies. I currently have a personal trainer to help me lose this weight once and for…

I actually left mine on the charger yesterday! Doh!

I love mine too! And it has also helped me with my sleep...amazing little thing!

I've had my FitBit since December, and have never had a problem with mine!

Depending on the type of watch, will it look "utilitarian'? I wear a watch to work, so I wouldn't want to change that. As far as HRM's, I only use mine while I'm at the gym. I don't know if I'd want to wear the chest strap all day long either. I have a Fit Bit and I love it...I actually wear it on my bra and never think…

I started Phase 2 today. I missed my workout yesterday, so I did both of them today. I did not do any cardio though. Was told by a PT at the gym to give myself another week or two without cardio. I measured and weighed myself last week, and did not lose any inches or weight. I also decided to join Weight Watchers today. I…

So, I took measurements today, and I'm not showing any inches lost! I'm so beyond frustrated right now....I don't know if I measured in the exact spots as last time. I had a timeline to lose all of this extra weight before my husband gets back from his deployment, and now I only have half the time left. I'm going to push…

Got on the scale after a one month hiatus, and no pounds lost. :-( I have not taken measurements yet. Will do that later today. And test my body fat percentage. I'm hoping I lost some inches!

Went to the gym today, and did my legs and shoulders/abs workout today. Today was the last day of Phase I....start Phase II next week!

Sooooo...I did not work out yesterday....was supposed to do my legs. I had so much running around town, with things to do, people to see, did not have a chance to hit the gym. I work all day today, so I'm not sure about that either. I'm off work tomorrow, so I will have to really make myself go. How do you guys motivate…

Phase 1 week 4....did 2 workouts today because I couldn't get to the gym yesterday. Did back/biceps and tri/chest today. I will take measurements and weigh in this weekend....a little nervous about it!

Today was Phase I...week 3 day 17 chest and triceps...my legs are STILL sore from Monday! Hopefully I'll be able to do tomorrow's leg workout!

I just finished day 3 of week 2....I also feel a little lazy because I used to spend more time at the gym...it takes a little getting used to....but I can feel a difference. I definitely look more toned and can actually see muscle now!

Hi! My name is Sherri...I'm 41 with 3 kids also....I work retail so I'm on my feet running around all day long...just started a strength training program to hopefully jumpstart my weight loss. Was told by a personal trainer that I was doing too much cardio and not enough weight training. So we'll see how it goes! Feel free…

Hey ya'll! I'm new to the group and to the program. I was invited by debwaid! (thanks!). I am in Phase 1 week 1 right now...today is a rest day for me. My name is Sherri and currently living in IL. I'm originally from NC though. My husband is active duty Air Force and is currently deployed down range. My goal is be at my…

I'm in Phase 1...rest day today. it feels weird not going to the gym...but I have plenty to do around the house and now that just means more shopping time!

Today is my rest day...feels so wierd to not get ready for the gym...my day is open to all possibilities now! More shopping here I come!

I just started the program this past Monday...glad to see I'm not the only one that was freaked out about no cardio! Looking forward to seeing results...hopefully I can lose inches and body fat before my husband comes back from his deployment!

I started this program this past Monday. I feel like I'm not doing much, but we'll see once I get more into the program. Feel free to add me if want/need motivation!

I started the program this past Monday...how are you doing so far? I feel like I'm not doing much; especially doing no cardio. I understand why, but I still feel like I need to do more.

Grapple! I love them! Tastes like grapes and apples!

I got mine for Christmas and love it! I didn't realize how much I was burning at work until I started wearing it. Found out I wasn't eating enough calories due to the calories burned at work! Now that I've upped my calories, I'm starting to finally lose the weight! And I never realized how many times I actually wake up…
