Thanks for all the advice. I am on a diuretic so I don't think it's water weight. I still have cramps even though no TOM so maybe my body is just getting used to things. Also I felt 9 pounds in 3 weeks was excessive as well, but I have my calories set to lose 1.5 pounds per week and I eat back all my exercise calories so…

Hmmm. Maybe I'll try that. Anyone else have advice?

I am def eating my exercise calories! Extra food is the biggest reason I make sure to work out!

I love cheese, too! Maybe I should stop buying the reduced fat one? Is it normal to go from hungry ALL the time and barely staying under my calorie budget to barely being able to stay over 1000?

nuts are a good idea! I need to stay away from sugar so PB may be out :/

I am scheduled to start in 2 more days and it will be the first time having one while dieting so I'll let you know what happens! However I"m on the pill so I'm not sure what will happen. Try taking a diuretic (I think pamprin has a diuretic in it) and see if the weight goes away. If so, it's water weight!

I'm sooo hungry too! I am eating 1420 calories a day as a "sedentary" person (not sedentary just like to manually add) and I weigh 191. I am losing at a rate of 1.5 lbs per week. Well at least that's what they expected but I've been losing like 2-2.5 pounds per week. Maybe it is wrong for you?!?!

Can I join in even though it's Tuesday??

It does sound familiar! I tried to do the metformin last month but it wrecked my stomach so that's when I decided I needed to focus on my daily food intake and exercise. I have an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist in 2 weeks to see if he has any more ideas. I have one little boy too. We want to wait a little…

I was diagnosed in my teens as well! I just went on LoEstrin 24 FE 2 weeks ago. I hope it goes well for me. How are you doing with it?

Thanks so much for the responses! I will add everyone tomorrow when I'm not about to fall asleep :) I'm so excited to have such amazing support! Night :)
