  • I have gained before by eating back exercise calories, but it always comes back off plus some. I think I just retain a little more water the day after exercise. Just be sure to eat at least 1200 so you don't totally wreck your metabolism!

    in How much protein is too much? Comment by rsparks38 September 2011
  • Amen! I have been doing this for 5 months and have lost 22 lbs. Why? Because I am changing my life, not looking for a quick fix.

  • I was that way until I started taking metformin for insulin resistance and pcos. Now, it is not a problem. I am also making more of an effort to have protein in the morning. You could try boiled eggs. That reminds me to go boil some for this week!

  • I ovulated, but your eggs have to be a certain size to be viable and mine were always at least 20% to small. There are not a lot of RE's where I live and I have already spent a lot of money, so I am hoping the weight loss helps. PCOS is directly tied to insulin levels isn't it? My doctor says protein, protein, protein! I…

  • I also agree, have tried cinnamon, much better for me with metformin.

  • I have been diagnosed with PCOS which my doctor said was interesting considering my cholestorol was not high and I am a pear shaped woman. I also have weighed between 160-195 and 5 ' 6 1/2 inches for years. I am currently at 168 and take 1800 mg metformin a day. I have never tried the other vitamins and have not conceived…

    in Diet Foods Comment by rsparks38 August 2011
  • I am down to one can a day, and usually not even the whole can. However, I usually drink a crystal lite in the evening while my husband is eating ice cream (I used to eat the ice cream), so it helps with that. I went for two years once with no soda at all, I need to cutout all the diet drinks, but I can only do so much at…

  • Responding to the Meth = Phentermine comment. My ob/gyn told me the same same thing your mother did. He said it' s basically just legal meth. This made me very embarrassed. I asked him why a doctor would prescribe it to me then. He said one word. Money.

  • That is why I use this site! I have an ex who was very negative to me, but my family (husband and 2 stepkids now) are better. I get a little resistance but I have stood my ground and they came around. Not that I don't still hear a complaint once in a while. Stay strong! Your weight is something you control! Taking control…
    in No Moral Support From Family or Friends Comment by rsparks38 May 2011
  • I have wondered if it would be more helpful for some of the folks on the show to have the teams at "Intervention" and "Hoarders " step in. If I am not going to use it, why would I buy it? Also I would feel guilty about having all of that readily available junk food for my stepkids to get into. I hope I haven't offended…
