I went through the same thing. I was diagnosed at 16 with it, then a few years later I had changed doctors and they refused to agree that I had PCOS. At the same time, I refused to believe I didn't.. I had almost EVERY symptom and was already being treated for it. I had been put on the BCP and actually lost weight. So, I…

Too many to get through all in one setting.. so bumping. Thanks to all who've shared!

Gonna have to get some PB2. Wonderful sounding recipes in here!

Breakfast should be your biggest meal, not supper as has been generally the "norm". your breakfast is what gets your metabolism going for the day, plus, you have longer to be able to burn those calories off than if you have a bigger meal in the evening, because you're going to bed earlier. A bigger lunch will also help…

Have you tried taking cinnamon tablets? Cinnamon is supposed to naturally lower blood sugar. This may help, especially if you can't handle the Met or Glume. Good luck!

I am also on Metformin, 500mg 1/day, though I'm considering seeing about upping the dose back to 2-3 /day as I used to be on. When I first started taking it, I had the same issues with the upset stomach, nausea and diarrhea, but it mostly has gone away with a few weeks of taking it. Unless, of course, I decide to try and…

I know this topic is a bit old, but I am a below the knee amputee as well and know what that's like. When I first began this weight loss journey, my prosthetic sleeves were in horrible shape. I use the jell locking liners, and the bottoms of them were so worn out I ended up with horrid blisters. I found that pilates was a…

Don't give up! Hang in there cyster. You never really know unless you try! There are others out there who have been told they'd never be able to have children and miraculously have a handful! Best of luck to you, though I know the feeling. I am worried too that this will affect being able to have children, so I'm trying to…

I keep mine public for the sake of accountability. I have decided to go on this journey with a couple friends and though we dont live all too close to each other or see each other every day, I can still feel accountable to A) logging or not logging B) Excercising or not, and C) maintaining the personal goals I've set for…

Reading your post sounds sooo much like what I've thought/felt/been through. Hang in there! I go through those times too where I just get so irritated and depressed about EVERYTHING with this and the weight.. and as an emotional eater.. it's like a vicious cycle that's a horrible ride. Amen to having a boyfriend (and…

This should have been.. The Micro Tweeze hurts far less than the salon waxes and seems to work so much better! My wonderful bf got it for me as a surprise Christmas present, and I was afraid to try it, but I love it. I would suggest it to anyone who has to deal with the excess hair issue. It's truly been amazing! HUGE hugs…

For those others of us suffering with the excess hair thing, I would highly suggest "Micro Tweeze" microwavable wax. I've had waxes at the salon before and they hurt far less than this stuff and work far less. My bf got it for me cause I've been complaining about the hair issue as well. After some time he spent…
