When I was pregnant I had to take this test - they were checking to see if I have pregnancy diabetes - they check everyone - anyways I was normal (I failed the first test which isn't a fasting one so I had to do a 3 hr fasting one) - is that the same thing you are talking about?? I figured that just looked into diabetes -…

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate all the information!!!

Thanks guys!!! I appreciate all the info!!!! ????

I wish you absolutely the best - I know just how frustrating it can be during this whole weight lose journey...I would get soooo sensitive and defensive to anyone (especially family) when they would try to talk about my weight...it would control me in every way...and then I actually jumped on the bandwagon and started…

I completely agree with wifeofpj!! Your metabolism has slowed down so much if you are only netting 150 calories...no wonder you don't like sticking to it - I would HATE it!! Although it def says something about your determination!! You should def figure out if you are insulin resistant - I just recently figured out I am :(…

What is an A1C??

Hiya - I never had heart burn when I was on BC but honestly I wasn't on a strong BC at all...I couldn't handle the drugs - it would make me throw up all the time unless I was on a very very low dosage...somewhere on her I asked everyone about natural medications...some people came up with some great alternatives...you…

I've been trying to eat clean since jan - usually do a decent job of it until its family traveling time :/ would love friends, support, and ideas :)

Hiya - if you want to add me, I would love to have more friends :)... I have PCOS - diagnosed in dec 08....I am 30...have two kids so not TTC right now - I am trying to get not only myself healthy but also my family...trying to control the PCOS through "clean eating" and natural remedies...we will see if it works out :)

Hiya - so I was raised vegetarian but now eat some chicken - I have def have to work hard at getting enough protein!!! People have given you great ideas so far!! Def the eggs!! Cottage cheese (2%) is another one that I go to a lot...I use whey protein but I purchase "about time" it is one of the 'cleanest' on the market…

So I know you have a bunch of ideas here - I hope you are getting your answer in it all!! I just recently came across a website www.dailyhiit.com ...I thought about doing it for a little while...instead of doing so much long cardio - you may want to do some HIIT...this website will give you a new exercise each day - they…

Where did you get 1500?? If that is your BMR then you need to eat at least that amount including your workouts...so you would net 1500...was that your question??

I'm kinda new - but from my understanding...yes you need to change calories to your cut amount (1958)...and you will need to eat back any calories that goes over the difference of your BMR and your cut amount (1958-1898=60)...so any workouts that burn over 60 calories - you will need to eat the overage...most people I have…

Congrats on the one year!!! Great motivation!!!

Thanks for the replies!!! I will def try some of these ideas!!!

I put it on the moderate 3-5 days working out bc I only work out 5 days...I take Monday and Friday off...though my intensity on some of the other days might make me need to go up to the 6-7 day workouts...who knows :/

Good luck!! I will be watching to see how everything turns out for you!

Try looking into Jamie Eason LiveFit program... It will help you get a routine and teach you what to lift... The program is designed to build muscle and become toned...

Thanks for the replies!! I have the mirena right now - just got it in dec...and I had asked my doctor and they told me that it was good for me to have it...since then though - I haven't been able to lose a pound (I actually have gained but have lost inches) and I am not having my period anymore - so I just started…

Awesome! It's always a good thing when you have a doctor you can trust!! Wishing you all the best - I'm sure you will enjoy every minute of it :) :) :)

@queenfrump - you can always call your doctor and have them check your blood each week to see if you need to be on progesterone...with my first child I didn't have a doctor that did this - I was on metformin - but honestly I think that dr just didn't know an extreme amount about PCOS (baby was fine and healthy - I just…

Hey so if you are looking into ways to get protein...I was raised vegetarian and have to work really hard on making sure I get enough protein - eggs are great for omelets and stuff - just make sure you are doing mostly egg whites (like one normal egg and 3 egg whites)...it taste the exact same but you get ride of the empty…

I always felt crazy and questioned everything - especially during the first tri!! As far as the bloating, dreams, breast tenderness and all that - I think that is just how you react to not only the pregnancy but also the stress of it all that you are feeling...I always had slight cramping around 5-6 weeks...and I was told…

Sorry you had to join our club...it is not a fun one :/...yes - it is hard to deal with but it is something that each one of us can overcome!! Def get a doctor that knows about PCOS and is willing to try natural remedies if that is something you are interested in!!! And you will def want to study up on it also - that way…

Thanks for posting this!! I had no clue that she had PCOS...I also learned that a couple contestants (Julie season 4, Brittany season 5, and Oliva season 11 (winner)) all have PCOS ALSO!! I'm shocked that they were able to lose weight so quickly!! I remember hearing about Jillian making the "pregnancy comment" but I never…

Hiya - I have recently gotten back into lifting...I always played sports and lifted heavy but took a break...I started back on the LiveFit program by Jamie Eason... I am also getting back into running - signed up for some 5k's...those of you that heard that running is not great for us with PCOS - why did they say it wasn't…

I am the only girl in my family but I have talked to my mom about her possibly having PCOS...I am fortunate enough to not have all the symptoms of PCOS...I found out after having a miscarriage - they needed to make sure it was a full miscarriage with the ultrasound and when they did they found the "strand of pearls"...my…

Awesome!! I will have to look into it!! Hope it keeps working for you!!!

I was raised vegetarian also - it obviously didn't prevent PCOS from occurring in me - but I will say that I don't have all of the symptoms either...it is always great to have tons of veggies!! Just make sure you have a balanced diet with those veggies - make sure to get your protein and not become a carbotarian :)
