My blood sugars have been in a good range for three days now. My fasting blood sugar was 99 this morning. It used to be over 200!

I remember that feeling! I've varied most of my life with cycles anywhere between 3 and 8 months long. Unfortunately I have the opposite problem right now and am having 11-15 day cycles with spotting in between. My ovaries hate me.

We love crustless pizza. Not exactly health food, but a bit better than regular pizza, especially since I try to stay low carb. 8 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup grated parmesan (I just eyeball it), pepper, and garlic powder mixed up, then spread into the bottom of a casserole dish and baked for about 5-8 minutes. Top with pizza…

I feel ya. It seems like all I see on facebook is pregnant people! And it doesn't help that I know a meth addict that just accidentally got pregnant by a teenager. I can't get pregnant on purpose!!!!

My husband talking to himself as he rebuilds a computer, and my toddler singing to himself as he "fixes" his own computer case.

Right now I'm on day 103. I've taken several HPTs, but just a lot of negatives. This wasn't unusual for me before I had my son, but when I went off birth control about 16 months ago, I started having 14 day cycles. This is my first long cycle since then. I went to the doctor who said he would give me a referral to my…

Hi! I'm also TTC. I was blessed enough to conceive my first child fairly quickly (about four months of NTNP), but am having absolutely no success in conceiving a second time around. I've been working to lose weight, which is difficult, as I really like food and I'm kind of lazy. I know I need to, and I am determined to,…

I noticed my hair thinning too. What has helped me has been the metformin and staying on prenatal vitamins. The vitamins were kind of an accidental discovery, I'm only on them since we are TTC, but they have helped a lot. Now if only the extra hair everywhere else would fall out!

Hi, I'm a 23 year old mommy to a two year old boy. I have gained most of my weight AFTER I had my son, so I'm finally getting serious about getting healthier!

I'm a social worker, I do child protective services.

Lol, I catch myself cleaning the high chair tray a lot! Just for laughs I tried to log some Gerber food today...much to my shock it was there! Apparently I'm not the only one that eats baby snacks with my little one!
-
Lol, I wouldn't complain! I think a lot of it may be water loss. I find that every time I start drinking more water and eating in a more healthy manner I lose a lot in the beginning.
-
Ooh, good question! I have found that I have this issue too. Plus when I'm feeding my son, I often have a peek through the cabinets just to see if i see something that would make a good new finger food for him! Then I tend to find something that looks yummy! Or, if I'm feeding him, I tend to eat along with him. Btw, Gerber…

Welcome! I'm working on a lot more weight than you, but we are all in the same boat pretty much! I've only been using the message boards a few days and I've seen a lot of great supportive people!
-
Ooh, good idea! One of my favorite ways to sneak exercises in is to rough house with my son who loves to be swung around and tossed into the air. Lol, I know my arms certainly feel as if I've had a workout!
-
Thanks everybody! I think I will try to do small snacks, but not really force it. Lol, gives me an excuse to eat a handful of nuts or a clementine! I have recently developed an obsession with Planters Digestive Health fruit and nut mix. Sooo yummy!

Hi hon! I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16 (22 now) and went on birth control to treat the symptoms. My periods started again and they were regular, which I had never experienced! In 2008, my husband and I decided to TTC. I consulted my OB/GYN and she had me start tracking my ovulation. That was a bust because I…

I work in an office too and know how hard it can be to get exercise in. Keep at it and welcome!
-
HI! Nice to meet you! Its hard when the weight takes over your life. That's where I am and hoping I can get rid of it!
-
Hi! I'm just starting on the message boards too and I think it will be a great help to me!
-
Thanks! I have gone over my calorie goal a little the past couple days, but I have managed to exercise both days, which is a major step in the right direction since I'm fairly sedentary most of the time! My biggest issues are mindless snacking and portion sizes.
