Thanks tmjdunn for the tip.

Thanks for your advice. I usually keep ginger in the fridge so I will add some to my tea.

Yes. I understand exactly what you mean. For years I thought I was lazy. Last year I learned I am vitamin D deficient. During your next doctor visit ask for a screening. In the meantime, buy vitamin D supplements and take 2000 IU a day. I swear after I completed my prescribed supplements I felt the difference in energy. I…

Thanks goodness I am not pregnant. I am on birth control, but mistakes happen. I know people who have gotten pregnant on the pill and those who have fertility problems. I'm still in child bearing years; so I figured it's better safe than sorry.

Some of that stationary weight has to be muscle gain. You are losing inches so you are getting rid of the undesirable. I would say moderate your carb intake and enjoy the progress.

I just finished it's not fair and it spoke directly to me. I was just telling myself I can have little bit of empty calories and extra fatty food this week. It is so true one slip up leads to another. These daily readings has been a blessing to me and my friend. The two of us has battled with extra pounds and now they are…

Thanks for the information on carb flu. The information covered online says fight through it but I missed three days from work already. I'm about to eat a small bowl of grits and a package of 100 calorie cookies. I'll get a high in fat dinner.

Thanks ladies for your advice.

You are not alone. I shave my face, underarm area, and my legs. The hair on my arms and chest I leave it alone and say this is me. It is irritating because I have shave marks on my face so now I wear foundation daily to cover-up those marks. I know I should not wax but my hair is so course. Even some of the waxes…

How is the electrolysis working with your African-American skin? I looked into electrolysis and noticed that is is more dangerous for African-American skin because the laser is calibrated to attack the dark area. I've seen pictures of irreversible scarring to the skin.

After taking it for four month I didn't notice any effects positive or negative. I stopped after discussing with my doctor that it's not supposed to stop facial hair growth or increase hair growth on my head. The medicine is supposed to stop the progress of the facial hair or male pattern baldness.

I really will like to know the same thing for the best foods to eat. I understand eating foods on a low hypoglycemic index will help with the low carb weight loss fight. I'm a few days in learning about the hypoglycemic index so I'm not too knowledgeable on the best food to eat. For the sugar cravings drink a hommade a…

Thanks for the Welcome.

Thanks for your encouraging words. Years of not being diagnosed and no real answers was frustrating. Now I plan to purchase a few books to help me understand PCOS and enact a plan to fit my life best.

My doctor prescribed 4 a day and I take 3. When I take 4 pills that's when the stomach issues begin. Like a previous commenter said take with food and I usually do it after breakfast. Metformin gives me a boost of energy.
