It sucks being up on a friday/saturday and not out dancing the night away but sitting on the couch looking at previously written dissertations and watching tv.

Metformin is not the answer for everyone some people have some really nasty side effects and you should not be on metformin for long because over time it does cause organ damage. One thing that has worked for a lot of PCOSers is limiting carbs and sugars.

Oh my gosh I sweat so much!!! But I go at it hardcore. A guy actually told me at the gym I sweat a lot and it really embarassed me :s

Since you are unable to do much with your arms the pool is still a wonderful option. You can walk in the pool or just move your legs. It will take the pressure of actually walking off of your feet.

Manscaping is much appreciated for certain activities mmhmm.

I load up on fruits and veggies there. In addition I get better oats they are really good you wont regret buying them. They have an amazing 2 pack of salsa verde medium, yummo, I eat it on everything lol. Get some fage 0% and make yourself smoothies, dips for veggies, and sauces for food. We always buy the 10lb bag of…

What I have noticed with PCOS is that carbs are my enemy!! When I reduced my carbs it helped a lot. I am currently at a plateau but that is one thing I know worked for me.

Tonight is turkey meatloaf, roasted butternut squash and 3 oz of a sweet potato. I use the lean 93/7 ground turkey, salsa (I use hot because I love heat), onion, red and yellow pepper diced, 3 egg whites, and about a 1/2 cup of italian bread crumbs. Low in fat and insanely filling! If you have calories to spare i love…

As long as you eat whats unlimited in the first part you wont feel hungry. If you are hungry you can eat more lean protein and more vegetables you just do not want to stray from the list of items you can eat. Personally all the green tea they tell you to drink made me constantly feel full.

My trainer at the gym has all of her clients on this. Every single one of them has been successful on it. The title is misleading its not really a 17 day diet it is a lifestyle change. For people with PCOS or insulin resistance this is a great plan to use. I lost most of my weight on it. The zig zagging the calories when…

Wish I had this recipe a few days ago! Yummo

My doctors wife was letting her dog out and a limb fell on her and killed her. She left behind 3 kids. It was quite sad but it makes you cherish every moment you do have.

Personally I only track about half of my workouts because I do not feel like they were sufficient enough, yet if some sassyfras was to tell me that I shouldnt log short workouts I would do it. A workout is a workout. Log it if you want or dont log it. If you ask a doctor they will say that as long as you get some sort of…

I love how the poster has a deactivated account :ohwell: On another note I do not know how some people can say anti depressants decreased their libido, Mine was greatly increase when I was on antidepressants.

PCOS is a *kitten*! I have it as well and I lose weight and then level out for a few weeks then start losing again. Anyone can feel free to add me. There is also a PCOS group if anyone would like to be added let me know!

I did the diet with out exercising the first cycle. You will be fine. I still lost weight. My personal trainer has 50 people from the gym on this new lifestyle and every single person has had success. It is a good diet for women with PCOS as well.

Mine is Meaghan, megmo was a nickname given to me when I was a kid because I was like a destructive tornado so megmo is short for meaghan the monster.

I part my hair into sections and work in baby powder. I have dark hair and no one notices, I wash my hair every other day baby has always been my go to, If you try baby powder and you can see the white you havent worked it in enough, have used too much or didnt put it in the parts.

Honestly I havent found anything that works yet but wearing multiple ones at the same time. I do not have any underwire sportbras but do wear more than one at a time for support.

I would get nervous that my hair would get oily more quickly then it does now if I were to use it. Do you have to wash your hair more frequently?

I wear halter tops all the time, I love a good deep plunge convertible bra. Convertible bras are what makes it. As for going smaller, I would personally not. If you invest in a good quality convertible bra you will be fine. I use the clear straps for strapless tops and dresses and I use the normal strap for the halter…

Isn't it amazing how rude and hateful people can be. I was always fit until a health issue, several "friends" told me I could no longer be friends with them because now I repulsed all the hot guys. I have been mooed at, oinked at, was walking down the street and it had just rained a group of kids hit a puddle on purpose…

I always put in a lower time on MFP. For instances yesterday I did intense work but only registered half the time. I plan on getting a heart rate monitor ASAP to help give a better estimate on how many calories I truly burned.

That is absolutely hilarious! I do not think us women could pull that off though. Maybe if a guy came to the door and we started rubbing our stomach like Homer Simpson... Hmm

Truvia is made from a stevia leaves. It is an all natural sweetner. For drinks I prefer the liquid stevia form which you can get almost any where now but there will be a massive selection at your nearest health food store and for foods like grapefruit or oatmeal I use a packet of truvia. It is safe and nothing like equal…

I think it is hard not to! I am fortunate to have a few on my list! It makes it worse when you have been single for awhile and all you want is sex sex sex! Plus working out makes me want sex more...

You are a rockstar! How amazing of a journey you have had thus far!

Everyone can feel free to add me as well! I have noticed I do a lot better with the more support I have. For instance this week alone I have lost just above 3lbs. Last two weeks before that I lost none. The difference is the encouraging words and tips that people give. I am good at encouraging and hopefully some of you can…

You can get them at most groceries stories in the organic freezer section. I have 4 different grocery stores nearby and they all carry a few products. I really love them and they are very filling! Here is a store finder link for you http://www.foodforlife.com/about-us/store-finder , several of my family members did not…

I am very sorry for your loss. As I dont want to share any personal situations about this I will tell you about 3 family members. My aunt had her son when she was 22 and tried for years to conceive after that. She did miscarry a few times a long the way, she eventually stopped trying and at the age of 40 became pregnant…
