cardio and arms today :smile: then took my doggies for a walk cause finally it was nice out!!! i let them potty before going, but wouldn't you know they decided to go on the walk too!!!:noway: so after getting them home, i had to go back out and collect it so i didn't get turned in. small town lol... of course they…

U GO GIRL!! WHOOT WHOOT!!:bigsmile:

metformin takes a while for most people to get used to. 2 wks to a month sometimes. i had a hard time adjusting, but once it stabilized, its like taking vitamins at this point. because of the insulin resistance issue i don't think i would have dropped 30 lbs with just diet and exercise with out the med. i had tried for…

PCOS here!!!! on metformin as well 1700 mg daily. diagnosed 2006. led to many weight issues and infertility:grumble: i was never told it had anything to do with the liver?? hmm... learn something new everyday..:smile:

thanks for the post :happy: now i don't feel so bad about falling of the wagon last night hehhee... i had an unplanned fried food body shocker last night.. eck... :sick: got pretty sick this morning cause of it. lesson learned, fried food is soooo evil... i should have eaten the cheeseburger :laugh:

that actually sounds good enough to eat :happy:

Nature's Own Whole Wheat Bread Light - 40 cals per slice (2)= 80 cals Better N Peanut Butter 2 tbs= 100 cals Smucker's Blueberry Jam (I got the blueberry from the perserves above) 1 tbs= 20 cals (2tbs)= 40 cals *I got this from the database, seems that smucker's are pretty low and they even make a sugar free kind that…

thanks.hehehe...today is a new day. as long as that scale is not yelling TILT i may be ok lol. off to the gym to sweat like a hog:laugh: and then make better choices today.

i have been doing sooo good! i even am eating all 1200 cal most days these day. heck i even tried to gobble some gym cals to for a change (yes i know i am supposed to, but never really get to them). but last night was the pits for dinner:noway: we went out to eat and i got deep fried calamari, clam strips and fries. and do…

i walk it out in 15 mins :) i have asthma so running gets complicated hehehe..

lmao!!:laugh: i know exactly what ya mean. that worked out well for me too in that case, however, then he introduced me to a thing called a dutch oven... that war ended fast heheheheh

omg! when if first started it, it was holy hell! lol it was usually an instant effect after taking it. then when they got funny and upped the dose, there we went again:noway: i take 1700mg daily. i would say if you haven't already been slammed with it, you may just get out of this a lucky man..ehhee:bigsmile:

gotta luv glocophage :wink: i've been on it for 2 years now. it helps with sugar levels, but did nothing for my weight. then i found this site! and wam with good food and exercise i have lost 29 out of 50 lbs! i am hoping to get low enough to not have to take it for the reasons i do. like you i am not diabetic either. my…

you can chart those calories still :) go to check in, the edit entries, then scroll to the bottom where it says add new entry. place last weeks date and weight :)

i'd say a couple weeks to a month for it to settle in the system. once its settled, it has virtually very little effect on that end eheeh:bigsmile:

nice cake! i did one kinda like that for a red neck wedding :happy: i used 7 boxes of little debbies, frosting, m&m's, and a cake topper that had the bride grabbing the groom by the collar as he is trying to run off. glad i am not the only one who does things like that.ehhehe

:flowerforyou: sending prayers your direction. i hope all works out!

thanks for the replies :happy: my sugar levels are great, not diabetic, but i am definitely getting ahead of the game. i am relieved now to know that there is a difference in kinds of sugars and will definitely pay closer attention. just like when i had to master calories and carbs, this too is a challenge and i will meet…

hey dthughes i forgot to mention that it can be rough adjusting to metformin. it has some really uncomfortable side effects. i am sure you may be experiencing them now hehehe.. if not, lucky girl! it took me a month to get used to the first dose then another month when they decided to up the dose. at that point it had very…

thanks:flowerforyou:

i'll will keep you guys in my thoughts

thanks that gives me some food for thought. the dr put me on glucophage (aka metformin). my fasting sugars were 122 and its due to PCOS. its not yet diabetes and with the med and getting healthy i am hoping to get ahead of things and beat this before its too late! they did not tell me how much sugar intake. the medication…

well i added sugar to my food diary to see how much i intake daily. i am on 1200 calories with 156 carbs. now 23-30 typically are fiber. the sugar section told me i could only have 24 a day. so what makes up the rest of the carbs? i killed my sugar intake with fiber one cereal and activia lite yogurt. crazy! i need this…

sorry to hear you have PCOS. i do as well! i just started with this website in may and i am down 28lbs. i use 850 mg of metformin twice daily to help regulate my sugar levels. you will be amazed what this can do for you when you have coupled it with good eating habits and exercise. if you need anything give a shout girl. i…

just looked it up... yikes... he should have stuck to just the beatles hehehee... that's a pretty rough song to listen to. almost like nails down a chalk board! ;)

"Ebony and Ivory" by Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder eh??? i love paul, but have no idea what this song is. guess i need to investigate.....

thanks for this great topic! i am in need of losing 50 lbs. i started working on this at the end of april this year and finally hit 28lb loss! 22 lbs to go. so close yet so far! heaviest: 245lbs started:235 lbs current: 208lbs goal: 185 lbs good luck ya'll

i just recently hit my second plateau. i've noticed it takes about 3 weeks of persistence to get through it. i agree with ya. sometimes i think my body is saying, "what the hell?"

i can't figure out for the life of me what possibly different i may be doing:sick: but i am really not fond of laxatives, they tend to be my last ditch effort. that pineapple sounds pretty good right now. it just boggles the mind how one can go from being "regular" to sometime next week i'll go lol. i am really pushing the…
