Way to go!!!

Thanks girls, I have been pretty off course the last month. I was traveling and then just didn't get back on track when I got back. I'm determined to get back on track today. I'm easing back onto the Met and will try to up my dose to 1000 mg/2 times a day. I'm also lowering my carbs, especially the bad ones. Interestingly…

My Dr. prescribed the Met, followed up in 6 weeks, and then said she didn't need to see me for a year....I guess it would be closer to 8 months, but still.

I am on 500 mg 3x a day. I'll keep taking it, and see how things go over the next 9 months until my followup appt.

Dang it! I take it every night!

Stupid question...what is BPC???

I am struggling girls! I am trying to stay around 60 carbs a day and range between 40 and 80, but I am so exhausted I feel like I can't function. My head is a foggy mess and I can't keep focused at work. Last week was my second week and because of how crappy I was feeling I totally fell off the low carb wagon over the…

At these ratios are you losing weight? I am just starting counting carbs and watching macros again. I know in the past I have had success with weight loss if I stayed between 60-80 carbs a day, but that was really hard for me to do and I had to completely cut fruits and starches. I tracked yesterday and had 2 clementines…

Sign me up. I need to get my eating on track. I have gained 10 lbs this year and don't feel good about myself at all.

I can't say one way or another, but I know what has worked for me in the past was a combination of weights and HIIT. I tried just doing weight the last 3 months and I only gained weight, even when I was eating well. Personally for myself I think I need some sort of combination of strength training and cardio.

I've been reading this book, and wow, it is so informational. I feel like I am going to have to go back and read through it again once I am done, because there is just so much information.

Also can anyone refer me to a good reference for what levels of various hormones should be. I see such a variation between different websites and the normal ranges listed on my lab paperwork.

TSH was 1.87 they didn't do t3 t4 this time but did last summer and all were in range. I don't have those numbers in front of me right now. I need to request the IR results, they just called and said they were good.

Interesting, for years I went on and off of the pill when I was not diagnosed with PCOS to help control acne and irregular/long periods. Yaz was the only one that worked well for me. So I got my results back from the IR test and I am not insulin resistant. So that is good news. They are having me continue with the Met…

Thanks, my Dr. did not recommend, but she was in and out very quickly, just prescribing the Met and I didn't get a chance to ask.

Just got diagnosed and I'm feeling pretty down and overwhelmed.

Do you have a grill? I feel like it is so much easier to eat healthy in the summer because there are so many good fruits and veggies available. I eat tons of watermelon in the summer and we grill chicken/pork chops/steak/fish very often.

I just did some reading on this and I am very interested. Please keep us updated of how you are doing with it.
