Every morning (even right now as I type this!) I have three egg whites and one whole egg combined with peppers, onions, jalepenos, and one whole ham steak. It runs around 300 calories. Very filling and a lot of protein! I highly recommend it.

You do what you have time to do. Many people do not have a lot of time to squeeze in exercise so any exercise that you can get in is going to be better than none at all. Good luck!

Congratulations! What an accomplishment!

I'm a 5-7 day gym rat. I have found it is the only thing that keeps me on track as far as tracking my calories goes. It is part of my routine now...Good luck! :)

Hi! I sent one too! :) Welcome!

Congratulations! What a wonderful feeling! :)

I love discussing this monster with fellow cysters! I love this thread! Dear PCOS, I wish I would've known when I was younger that you were the reason that I could never lose weight. You made my teen years a living hell. You were the reason that I always had more hair on my face than most women and you are the reason that…

Good lord..I don't know who any of those people are! :) I must be old! Justin Timberlake Ryan Gosling Ryan Reynolds George Clooney There are many more!

I swim almost every day, and it has worked WONDERS on my diet and exercise plan. My joints are kind of bad, so this really helps keep my knees from hurting and things like that. Right now, I burn about 497 calories doing a half an hour of intense lap swimming. It would vary person to person, but it's still fantastic! :) I…

Another PCOS girl here....diagnosed at age 16. I worked out like a fiend before my wedding for a year and did not hardly lose anything. Was told years after I was diagnosed that Metformin would help me control my blood sugar, so I am using that and a lower carb-lower fat diet. Metformin does not bother me unless I eat…

Ditto. I call shenanigans on that.

You look great! Congratulations!

Happy birthday! You look fantastic!

I actually just posted a topic on this the other day. I was diagnosed when I was a teenager and it is very difficult to keep losing weight. I feel your pain!

You look fantastic. Congratulations!

Sugar alcohols are there for people who have problems with their blood sugar, as it does not raise your blood sugar the way that regular sugar does. Some people have a hard time digesting them and it makes their stomach upset, but for others, it is a godsend.

Congratulations! You look fantastic!

I had no idea! Major bump!

Thank you everyone. I appreciate your input.

You need to watch it if you are even slightly insulin resistant. I love Truvia, and even though it's not sugar, your blood sugar can spike a little. But is is of course, a great substitute to sugar.

Wow!! Congratulations! You look fantastic!

Mama Lupe's low carb tortillas.I think it's like, 3 net carbs per tortilla. Very yummy!

Also, there is some research that suggests that preemies becoming larger children in later childhood, because parents are always trying to "catch them up." My son was a month early, had problems feeding and as in the NICU, and I was always so concerned about him being small and delayed, and now he has definitely caught up.

I get up at 5:00 every morning to swim an hour of laps. And yes, it was initially very hard to do. I found it easiest to slowly start going to sleep a little bit earlier every day. Now I go to bed at about 9:30 at night, which in itself was a challenge. But, I find that it is very worth it to be able to exercise at the…

Thank you for the tip!

I drink milk with no sugar added nesquik in it almost every day. It also helps if you have a sugar or chocolate craving without adding very many calories.

You look great! Congratulations!
