if you are taking metformin you really dont need to eat a pcos type diet... however some have gotten theres under control and do not take meds and that would be highly advised to avoid Diabetes.

omg wow.. small world pcos sister.. and I live in salt lake also... I was origionaly diagnosed by dr johnson in syracuse tanner clinic... EXCELLENT DR.. but long dr... my new dr is great as well.. Westridge Clinic.. trying to remember name... anyhow.. are you on any medication? I am assuming that is why.. I had the SAME…

without metformin until you get to the weight that is healthy for you.. your runnign a risk getting diabetes. sorry to say.

Ive always measure mine at the point it is sticking out the farthest lol.

you need metphormine. the hormones are put of wack.. feel free to add me I have had it for a good 10 yrs.

wow Im 5'1 too... I can do this! you made such a huge transformation in such a short period!! inspiring!! you look great!

ohh headed to grocery shop added this one.. mmm thanks

dont look at todays lunch though... blush**

yes it was an awesome day!! looks like you had a beautiful wedding too! :) I sent you an add request. my diet isnt perfect but my diary is open for ideas. it keeps me accountable lol.

okay the irony is... I got married MAY 7th too!! lol... AND... loosing weight before trying for a baby too!! :) 20 lbs would be awesome but I started my goal at 11 cus I suck at goals... I want to get in shape first before ttc though.

depends on your diet.. most americans dont eat enough fruits and vegetables. If you feel like you are then no, you dont need them.

LOL!! @ the horse beating!! gotta love legos!!

I wish peanut butter is good!! think I will have some with celery!

I try to stress eat baby carrots, cucumbers broccoli with ranch.

no.. but kidney stones... was told to limit alot of meat.. so I am semi vegetarian now.. no sweet breads and things with purines** I eat a fully vegetarian meal evvery other night now and feel much better!! drink lots of water and add a slice of lemon to help the kidneys with cleaning.

wow.. I find the chocolate thing interesting!.. I have that same thing I crave at that time lol.

such a relief that I am not the only one.. and infact some actualy are retaining more at the time.. it gets kinda scary doesnt it lol. good to know its just temporary!

last post - LMFAOOO at less stabby!! :laugh: thats good to know the 3 lbs thing..hoping thats the deal here.. just retaining.

imo you have gained muscle... so..for me that is normal in the beggining of working out alot. Either that or your not drinking enough and your body is retaining the water. Y

I guess I was more freaked out because its a light period. most likely from being more active. Do you require more calories during? Im just soo hungry and am trying to avoid going over calories.

Honestly I was severly addicted worse case I know.. if you want to cut it out I can help... but trust me I know the reasons and challenges with this. I started first! with drinking less I was drinking 6! a day... It took me a year! to complete my goal I have bee completly soda free for over a month now!! it can be done! I…

hrmmm since we are talking about periods I have a question... Ladies, do you not lose on your period? I hanvt lost anything this week, do you up your calories? I have been much more hungry too.. which obviously could explain lack of weight lose even though Im eating close to the guidline.

not true! BUT.. it has amazingly got me to drink more water love the flavor!

I was diagnosed at a young age... apparently I had a bad case. I didnt start mensese until age 16 and then until I got medicated only had one every 9 months.. I rencently went off b/c so well have to see what happens. I take 1500 a day metformin/glucophage. I love this site! I lost 30 lbs on my own without it maintained…

two other nidbits, I make my own homeade spaghetti sauce tastes better and healthier then in a can. And STAY away from white bread!! I buy the nice thick wheat bread.. I like oroweat because it has low cals for being a hearty wheat bread.

and the obvious one is cutting out soda, some candy, and foods with corn syrup.

my own idea of clean eating is diffrent then others Im sure. Things I have done, cut out pork 95%.. I cant cut the pepperoni :/ pork is the dirtiest meat. Pigs dont have sweat glands so much of the toxins remain in there bodies. I cut out all frozen prepared foods. I tried them and there so high in sodium they bloat you up…

hard work paid off!! you look great!

If you havnt already.. try eliminating nitrates (hotdogs, lunchmeat) also any substitue sugars such as aspartame are known to trigger them.
