Congratulations on your pregnancy!! I also had GD and insulin resistance too. You can do this, just be diligent and be sure to take walks. Even 15 minutes can drop your levels a bit. Let me know if you have questions. ;)

Awesome! Thanks for your service!

You didn't hear any of my personalities??

Um, put coins in the Trevi fountain...not eaten a huge grapefruit. :/

Yes! I have actually! HYE: stolen something, felt bad and tried to make it right??

Hi Christine! Welcome. It isn't too late, nice to meet you! Good luck. What are you doing as far as diet and exercise plan?

When

Oh, I totally get you on AF. Man, mine is about a week away and I am already gaining weight. I can gain up to 8 pounds of water weight. And although I know it is water weight...and will come off...it seems like we lose a good solid week of losing and hard work for nothing. Sigh. Lose 7, gain 7 take two weeks to lose it…

Nice helmet! Go trojans!!

bloody

go to the beach because

I suppose if someone can say "dry hump" I can say: get off

No, but I have paid a road toll for someone behind me with my own toll. HYE lied without saying a word?

Hey, I did it. I updated my ticker so you guys could see the family. ;)

Or, maybe, a woman in a man's body?

Leave your helmet on, isn't it funner to imagine what we aren't sure is there?

Hi everyone! And welcome to the newer girls! Trying to remember what everyone is talking about. I love chocolate, but I am addicted to food, really sweets are my issue. Since I am diabetic I really have to stay away. For me it is really all or nothing. It took me the last 3 weeks to truly crash the cravings. I am the type…

Oh no ladies....don't slip from the group!! It has been 3 days since anyone posted! Happy 4th of July! Plan ahead and you guys can have a great day! I got back from vacation and we had a fabulous 4 nights without the kids. I planned ahead and ate pretty well. 2 major slip ups was cheesecake factory dinner and I had a…

Hi girls. Just a quick checkin from vacation. I am having a blast. Two days camping were awesome, so beautiful. I wish you could see my fb pics. I ate really well camping and did a really strenuous hike that burned over 1000 cals!! But, the city is different. I ate a healty but high calorie lunch out, then went to…

It's me again. I just wanted to say we are leaving for vacation in the morning and pretty sure I won't have phone reception where we are camping for 2 days, then off to Henderson near Vegas for 2 more days. I will check in when I can. You guys have a good weekend, make great choices!!! ;) Wish me luck.

Hi ladies. Lindsay, we have a soda stream and love it. I did say I was going to give up diet coke, but the other day when I had the loss of my little cousin I caved and had one. I guess I am lucky for the fact that I grew up on diet coke. Over the last year though I had been adding a splash of regular at soda fountains,…

Hi girls! Kara- It really has to suck having bad foods around the house. Luckily my husband and kids pretty much go with the flow. I have a food addiction for sure and to have the sweets in the house, I personally could not say no. But, for me going out is so scary. The bad crap is everywhere (like costco today)...and it…

[/quote] Good job not turning to the comfort food yesterday. Each time we resist that temptation, I think it makes us a little stronger for the next time. I'm Jen, by the way. :) [/quote] Hi Jen! Thanks, I am so much better with names. ;) So how is everyone else doing? I went to costco today, and love their pizza, but…

Hi there. So, you have other PCOS symptoms? It is hard to say where you might be going wrong without an idea of your diet and exercise. I am by no means an expert but we can try to give you some ideas. Want to share some more info?? Don't get discouraged. You are in the right place!! ;)

I think a weigh in day would be cool. I am trying not to concentrate on the numbers as much as a healthy lifestyle, but I need to watch it so that I never slip backwards. I don't crave the spaghetti, I want the cake. lol For me I kind of know it is an addiction and it is all or nothing. I haven't given up all carbs. My…

I feel you completely! I am just getting back on a program and have a ton of weight to lose. I also just changed up my anxiety and depression meds because I fear that sticking to this 'lifestyle' losing weight so slow (I also have diabetes and PCOS) will be too hard. It is now affecting my daughter who is 6 and overweight.…

My kids are 4 and 6 and kind of picky, but we all love these http://www.rachaelraymag.com/recipe/baked-veggie-chips/ I have even done zuccini this way. The kids dip them in ranch of course. lol We also make Kale chips. Good alternative to the normal dinner side, why not chips. ;) Good luck.

i know this is a little late, but you count the first day of full flow as cd 1 for medicated cycles. ;) I have two beautiful Metformin babies, conceived while on cycle breaks from clomid and insemination because my hubby has extra low sperm counts. (Emma 6 and Micah 4) A lot of people have a few regular cycles after going…

I know the cravings are so hard, but just being on plan for a week and the cravings have lessened. I am not saying that today's stress doesn't make me want junk all day, but take it one day at a time. A we have to think of this as a lifestyle. The important thing is that you are owning your slip and you CAN get back on…
