I lost 80lbs once I started Metoformin. Had baby number three with severe post partum and went on anti depressants and gained almost 50 of it back. I'm finally feeling normal again after baby #3 (took almost three years!!!) and I'm going down again...about 17 lbs since January.

I could lose no weight without severe restriction and outrageous amounts of exercise until my RE/fertility doc put me on metoformin 1000mg twice a day. Then I could lose normally if I followed a normal exercise and eating plan.

An elephant penis weighs 60lbs??? Good lord. Well then. I have lost an elephant penis. Gotta lose another elephant penis. Seriously??? 60lbs???

Yes. But it would be nice if there was a "Women's health" section in the forums where topics like this could go. That way people who don't want to be bombarded with these type of topics could avoid them. Men's health section would prob be nice too.

Heck yeah! I found for me that ellipricals overestimated my calories but treadmills underestimated. The first 20 min I would run I was burning about 7-8 calories a min. But by 30 min I was up to 10-12 calories a min. The machine didn't account for that.

What a transformation!!

Lots of guys talk about compression shorts.

Being heavy off and on throughout my life, I know how you feel. But we big girls fool ourselves into thinking that our clothes hide our bodies. While stretch marks and dimples may be hidden, the overall gist of our shapes are more obvious than we admit to ourselves. If he wants to be with you, trust that he really does…

Are you doing this all in one sitting, or just throughout the day. I am VERY interested in adding this to my daily routine. [/quote] Sorry, I haven't checked this! I do it all in one sitting :) [/quote] Bump

Thank you! Very brave of you and you look fabulous! Keep at it!

Not everyone has the same symptoms for PCOS. We discovered I had PCOS before we were TTC because of my weight gain, acne, and increase in male hormones. I never had hirsutism at all. Furthermore, a very high percentage of women with PCOS also have hypothyroidism and the accompanying hair loss as well as depression. That…
