I am on day 59. Only four more to go, but man is it hard. Good luck. Feel free to messge and/or add me as a friend if you would like.

I have had the same problem. A nutritionist once told me to take the vitamins right before or right after I eat something with a little bit of fat in it. She said that vitamins are fat soluable and that taking the vitamins with a little fat should help with the sickness/naseua. That seems to work for me.

Hello. I have been on metformin for about eight and a half years now. It took the doctor a while to get my dosage right, but I think it was worth it. I did have some stomache troubles at the beginning, but I have adjusted. For me, even after being on the metformin for eight and half years, I still find some things that…

Thanks for the responses and I am hoping that it was said in jest. I do know that my son can be a bit overwhelming at times, but this isn't the first time she has said something like this to me. At the parent-teacher conference she was telling me how she leaves special instructions for the sub to on how to deal with the…

I have let my eight year old use the treadmill with me standing close by for supervision. I also set limits as to how fast he can walk/run and how high he can set the incline. If you are there to closely supervise, I say let them try.

I think you should definitely take a test and call the doctor. After having periods every month, it doesn't seem right that they would stop all of a sudden. Good luck.

Hello. Welcome to the group. I am a 41 year old mom of an 8 year old son. You will find lots of great information and support on this site. Feel free to add me if you would like.

Thanks for the great suggestions for weight training. I am going to try to work these into my routine. Also, I want to thank everyone for their responses. I am starting to realize that I may be looking at this matter in the wrong frame of mind. I now know that I need to work on toning and not losing more weight. It will be…

Sorry. I double posted.

Thank you so much for all the replies!!!! It has definitely given me some "food for thought" (forgive the pun). I think I do struggle with body image and I know that I back down from a fight way too often. You have all given me wonderful suggestions as to how to handle this. Step one - I am definitely going to try to add…

Feel free to add me. I have been running since I was in college (I graduated college in 1994) so I have been running for quite a long time. NOT saying that I am an expert, but I am willing to help, and I swear a lot myself so that would never offend me.

Hello. I have PCOS. Was diagnosed in 2004. I have been on Metformin ever since. I could not figure out why I was gaining so much weight even when I was working out 3 days a week and watching what I ate. Once the doctor figured out the right amount of Metformin, I was able to lose weight. I was able to lose a little over 40…

You can add me to your friends as well if you would like. I too am slim, but I know that if I do not watch what I eat and do not exercise, I will balloon up. Everyone tells me that I look great where I am, but I still want to lose that last 5-10 pounds. I totally understand about what you are saying about feeling out of…

Thanks for the suggestions. I can see that most people would not think that I need to lose more weight. Sometimes I can get obsessed. I still don't like how my body looks, especially my mid-section so maybe I will try weight training. Any suggestions?

Sorry that I didn't give enough information. I am 5'6" tall. Currently I weigh 121.8 lbs. I am a female. My BMR is 1302.33 When I used a TDEE calculator it said that my TDEE was 2008. When I used the website that was recommended in another post, it said I should consume 1953 caories a day. My weight loss goal is one pound…
