HI ladies!!! I'm new to the board and just wanted to say this conversation has been very interesting! I've been on metformin for about a year for "suspected PCOS" but recently it was confirmed. I've been having issues (just had our third miscarriage, and I have a 3 year old daughter) and so I'm trying to do more research…

Hey.... I'm in a similar boat to you. Just was diagnosed officially with PCOS (although I suspected for some time now). As much as it sucks, I definitely think we need to lose weight. The excess weight messes up your hormones even more than PCOS does on it's own. PCOS causes an increase in estrogen and a deficiency in…

Hi Ladies... Jumping on the wagon here. I'm new to the group. I suffered my third miscarriage last month and we are now actively pursing more treatment/answers. I was diagnosed with PCOS and definitely need to lose some weight. I've started some different vitamins and herbs to try to help, as well as I am on 1500 mg…

I have a fitbit Ultra (the older version of the "one") and I love it! I haven't tried any of the other ones, but I love that it interacts with MFP to update my calories burned, and I can just put it on and forget it.

Hungry Angry Lonely Tired HALT.... Usually when I find myself wanting to throw in the towel and give up on what I've been working so hard on, there's something else at work. I eat to bury my emotions, my problems. Somehow I was programmed to think eating would make me feel better, although we all know it just triggers an…

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I'm usually on MFP on my phone! haha Thanks so much for all the replies, I am so happy to finally be on the right track. I've lost some weight in the last month and I'm really trying to get my head in the program. I love that there is an OA community on here!!!!!!!

the great thing about the OA program is that you don't have to put it on yourself that you're never going to eat a snickers again. i know it's been holding me back as well, and i know how you feel. but if you truly work the program, then you ask your HP to give you the willingness to abstain from that food "for today" and…
