My God-children gave me a mint plant for Mother's Day this year and I started putting some leaves in water and ice tea - nice to know it might help some of my symptoms too!! I just got my official diagnosis almost 2 weeks ago, started on Metformin (already lost 7 lbs just from the Met!) and am interested in learning more…

I'm not diagnosed yet either. In fact, I'm going for my blood test tomorrow morning, but like you, all the signs point to PCOS. Your question made me think because I used to have a pretty healthy sexual appetite myself but even as far as 3 or 4 years ago found that I really didn't give a flip most of the time anymore. At…

I'm SO SO SO SO GLAD this thread is here! I just went to the doctor yesterday and she told me it looks like I probably have PCOS and pre-diabetes.

I have no idea what it is, but it sounds interesting - can you share a little about it?

I had a gym membership and hardly ever used it so I cancelled it when I moved and haven't joined another due to cash flow. I make sure I take walks on all my work breaks and I set exercise goals for myself. For example, since I'm just starting out my goal this week is to use the stairs everytime and everyday this week at…

Thanks everyone - all your suggestions are pretty much echoing ideas I had too which means I must be more savvy about this than I generally give myself credit for, I appreciate the confirmation :) I am going to make a meal while I'm there so I'm controlling at least 1 meal & they do know I'm trying to eat healthier, the…

Wow, I'm in almost the exact same situation. I weighed 135lbs my freshman year of college and steadily went up since until one day not too long ago I realized I tipped the scale at 202lbs! That was my wake up call and I've been playing with weight loss since but just decided to get serious about it this week. My friend…
