Yep, I have had a great experience with it. Health care issues suck. I know because I have been there. Right now I am trying to find a doctor to help me with all this.

I have endometriosis... I could not work out due to pain, which is similar to being in labor ( I have a kid so I know what labor pain feels like) I couldn't work out unless I was on OVERLY strong pain killers. ... Then among about 3 other medical issues, I was diagnosed with PCOS... With this I got an insulin…

I just put my explanation. I forgot to quote it.

Well this is something I have studied a lot, because my doctor told me to cut out ALL soda. Maybe I am getting the wrong information, but what I am finding in this article and several others, is this information on artificial sweeteners. "They trick your metabolism into thinking sugar is on its way. This causes your body…

Okay. First things first. Let's stop using the word "fat". Yes it may describe someone, or a group of people.. However, some of us are this way due to medical issues. OP. A lot can play into this.

It only took me a few months, but that was because I have medical issues and the doctor put me on a medication to help regulate one of the issues. I was also doing Zumba 2-3x a day and eating 1800 calories a day. This…

I don't see why not.

Hello everyone, sorry for the delayed response. I honestly didn't know anyone was responding. I was on metformin a few years ago. I loved it. My body doesn't adjust well to Birth control. Right now, I am in a ton of pain though from Endometriosis. It seems like when one issue stops , another starts.

I'm in. My goals are increments of 15, but total 125.

Needed sleep.

Uses the hrm as a toy in the bedroom. ;-)

I am kind of in the same boat. However, I just started (or restarted) my weight loss journey. I need motivation more than anything. It sucks not having a lot of support. I mean , my family is supportive and so are some of my friends , but it would be nice to have someone to go through this with.
