Yes, I have PCOS... Endo started me on Victoza this time last year for weight loss but I had a bunch of other health issues to deal with so I went off of it. I started the Metformin in december and added in the Victoza about 2 weeks ago. I'm supposed to eventually make my way up to 2.4-3.0 with the victoza and 2000-2500…

Thanks guys! I also have a kidney disease so I have to keep my carbs balanced. I try to maintain higher protein moderate carbs and low to moderate fat. This is from my endo my gp and my kidney specislist.

While it might be vile it seems to serve a purpose. I appreciate your option but I am going to keep taking it.

No he started me at 0.6 to increase up to 2.4-3.0 as needed. Right now I'm good at 1.2.

Actually my drug plan covers it just not the needles because I'm not diabetic which I find absolutely hilarious. I also have supplemental coverage through innovicares so I pay $0 for the victoza. And my dad gives me needles from his supply cause he gets them free.

No I'm not diabetic, I should have added that in. I am suspected to have PCOS but I no longer have a uterus just my ovaries. We don't have winco here.

Calgary here!

I like to cook. I have a food blog that I just started though I don't have many recipes on there yet, and it's not strictly a low-fat food blog. it's food.mangocitrus.ca if you're interested in checking it out.

Brown Sugar. Add 1/2 cup of oatmeal. Use Whole Wheat or Whole Grain Flour. Use dark chocolate.

Wow, that is truly inspriational. I love seeing stories like this, and I hope someday to be one too!

Chicken Parmesan: Grilled Chicken Breasts topped with Marinara sauce (I usually make my own but classico has a good one that's fairly healthy) and a bit of cheese. Broil until the cheese is bubbly. I serve this with whole wheat spaghetti with a "sauce" that I make out of Chicken Broth, Garlic, and Shallots. I top that with…

Oh and I make stuffing for the Chicken (with sausage and bacon and multigrain bread) and I baste the chicken with Beer. And I make gravy out of the drippings. So not the healthiest meal but if you eat it in moderation, it's fine. and it's DELICIOUS.

I usually roast a large chicken (we get HUGE Chickens - like 11lbs) from the Hutterites here in Alberta... I serve it with Broccolini done with Lemon & Garlic Carrots with Butter & Fresh Dill (REAL Butter, not margerine, and not a ton of butter.) And my Cheese "Mashed Potatoes" (I use half cauliflower/half potatoes) and I…

I mix it with a little bit of olive oil (but you can omit that) I also add Lemon Juice Fresh Ground Pepper Fresh Dill and Old Fashioned grainy Mustard. Alternately I put it on top of tossed salad and use Salsa as a dressing. If you like Creamy Tuna you can mix it with fat free cream cheese or greek yogurt.

Even if you find it time consuming to count calories/track your foods by entering them into here or anything similar, you should quickly jot down what you're eating and an approx portion (even if you have a stick of gum, a sip of wine, a sample of cereal, etc..) This is less time consuming - and it's proven to help people…
