Hey! This is a cool thread, very informative. I'm on the verge of a PCOS diagnosis. I'm like an ultrasound away from an official diagnosis, but I can't afford to go in right now. My doctor is treating it like PCOS anyway, with Metformin and birth control. My first week on the birth control and Metformin was hell, and I've…

I am on the verge of a PCOS diagnosis (I'm basically an ovarian ultrasound that I can't afford away) and it's been rocking my world. Thanks for linking the threads above. I've been reading through 'the PCOS Diet Plan' and just discovered the PCOS Diva website and app, which have been hugely helpful to me in the short time…

Thank you for the explanations! I am confident that MFP's answers are good to go. Thank you!

Thanks for all of the ideas! I'm meal-planning tonight, so I'm extra thankful for the input.

I'm so glad!! I don't think I've ever been so excited to eat veggies. Feel free to friend me to stay connected now and as we keep moving forward!! P.S. I conquered Day 1. I ate the heck out of those carrots, and had the most delicious burritos EVER for dinner full of peppers. I get paid tomorrow so I kinda want to try a…

I love roasting veggies. I'll toss asparagus in olive oil and then roast them at 450 with rosemary and sometimes a dash of salt and pepper. Also, grilling veggies is delicious. I love to cut up a sweet potato, some peppers, some zucchini, and a few others and stick 'em on my George Foreman (no grill at my place). Excited…

Thanks for the advice! zomgies for real!! Now I'm imagining zombie veggies... not sure if that was the intent but it's how I read it! Ha!

Tati, the idea was to stock up yesterday and start today, but you can do it however you'd like! Today, I'm having 1 1/2 cups of carrots for lunch and I'm going to make 1 cup of fajita veggies with my burritos this evening. Yum.

Yesterday was good--I drank my 8 glasses of water. Success! Today I want to commit to planning out my meals for next week! I might start Whole30 on Saturday, but I'm not sure... anyway, the thing I'm committing to is planning out my meals for next week.

I'd like to start out! Just for today--my goal is to track everything I eat. We'll see how it goes!

I'd love some new friends in their 20s! I'm 24, needing to lose about 100 lb.

I'm really excited! Day 0: I need 2 1/2 cups of veggies every day. I'm sorta bad at eating veggies... so I'd like to use this as a chance to diversify my veggie intake and learn to love some new great stuff.

Hi Joshua! Where were you before you moved to Rochester? Just curious. I'm in St. Paul and a great friend lives in Rochester, but she's not on this site.
