Hey there! What is an NSV?

Invite sent!

The weekly miles are added to a discussion Saturdays. I then post them every Sunday!

Honestly I don't know! lol. Here is the link :) http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/101222-walk-around-the-earth-challenge

Of course! Invites have been sent to everyone in this conversation. :)

Of course!

I sent you a personal message back :). You can use a step counter, mapmyrun.com...anything to help you calculate mileage.

I am sending you all invites now! All mileage counts...walking, jogging, running, cycling, swimming!

I'd like to join!

Working out on your lunch break is a great idea! There is a gym in my office building but my lunch is only 30 minutes long so I wouldn't be able to do too much. On the other hand I could walk a mile or two then take a shower. I bet it would be refreshing though. I have had a bad habit of snacking as soon as I get home from…

That's great! You two should definitely go for it! Personally I'd like a trainer that has gone through the struggle so they would understand the difficulties we have.

It sure is a tough road! Losing weight has been impossible for me. My doctor prescribed Metformin and progesterone and it has worked wonders for me too! It makes me wonder why I waited to see my doctor for so long.

Hello Eva! Feel free to add me for support as well. :)

Hello Serenity! I was recently diagnosed with PCOS by my gyn. He ran all sorts of bloodwork which all came back normal including tsh, testosterone. The only thing that did not come back 'normal' was my fasting glucose so he determined I was IR and had PCOS. After an ultrasound he determined my ovaries had no cysts and that…

I have started a group that will be tracking weekly mileage. We are walking around the Earth! Cycling, walking/running/jogging, swimming miles all count. The 'trip' starts in Ecuador and we will be heading east along the Equator. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/101222-walk-around-the-earth-challenge

Dragonwolf - thank you for your response. The 44 lbs is my short term goal which is to weigh 199. I still have a way to go after that :). I think the Metformin is working for me! AF was on time and I believe I have O'd this week. My body feels like it is normalizing although I know it will take some time. You're right, the…

My name is Heather by the way. I can't believe I forgot to mention that. :smile:

My husband is skinny too and he eats like a horse. He tells me "just one bite won't hurt". UGH! That one bite can trigger crazy sugar cravings! lol

I am also trying to lose weight before pregnancy but I don't have much time. The clock is ticking loudly because I'm 40. Feel free to add me! I have also started a TTC group so if you would like an invite let me know!

Bad habits are so hard to break! I was eating really well during the holiday season but I allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted on Christmas Eve and Day. I am STILL trying to get back to the way I was eating before then. It looks like the Metformin is working for me. I've only been on it a month but I can tell that…

You look fab! Great job!

Hello Kristin! Welcome! I know what you mean with the "so when are you going to have another one" question. I have been married for a year and I keep hearing "Your clock is ticking and you better get going". Ugh. We're working on it! lol. Do you have a hard time losing weight too? I cut out breads and pasta and I'm losing…

I am in a similar situation. My doc told me to take 1000mg metformin in the evening and cut carbs. I can eat brown rice and fruits so the diet is doable for me. My husband and I are hoping to conceive asap and my gyno said the low carb/metformin combo works wonders with some women.

Welcome! I am new to the group as well. Feel free to add me!

We're close! I'm 39, 5'4" and 242 :)
