Awww! Congratulations! That is a wonderful surprise for you! I've struggled with PCOS too and it really can be frustrating.

Gonna have to try this!

I'm in the north part of Phoenix. I've been here for over 20 years and I can't wait to get out in the next year or so.

Sounds yummy! Gonna have to try these.

Awesome! This is just what I needed today to help pick me up. Thank you for sharing!

I'm curious for recipes too since I just got my first protein powder tub as well. :-)

Hello and welcome! I'm a SAHM with a 3.5 yr old and a 21 mo old and am currently 24 weeks pregnant. At my heaviest weight I was 193lbs which was just after my second girl was born. I struggled with gestational diabetes during both pregnancies because of my weight. I'm trying to keep it at bay this time around but am…

Congratulations on the loss so far. This is a great place for support in a long journey. I have made some great friends who support me on a daily basis and give me the motivation to push through my struggles. I have at least 120lbs to lose and can't do a whole lot of exercise right now because I'm 24 weeks pregnant. I'd be…

Currently, I'm not trying to lose baby weight as I'm 24 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby. I'm a SAHM and I have a 3.5 yr old and a 21 mo old as well. I have tried to keep up on a healthy diet and some walking as exercise but I have gained more than I should at this point. As soon as I can after the baby is born I'm planning…

Welcome! Congratulations on getting your sugar levels down. That is fantastic! I've struggled with gestational diabetes with my first 2 pregnancies and am hoping that I won't have to this pregnancy (currently 24 weeks along). This site is a really great place for getting support. I have made a few friends on here that I am…

I'm 32 with a 3.5yr old, 1.5yr old, and I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant. I'm a SAHM because it's just too darn expensive for daycare for us. A lot of people think that staying home with the kids allows plenty of "Me" time and that I have a perfectly clean house, but honestly I have less time for myself than when I was…

I'm always looking for crock pot recipes! Thanks!

For me if I go over carbs it is much harder for me to lose the weight regardless if I am perfect in my calories, but then I have a medical reason to pay closer attention to my carbs (thanks so much PCOS).

Sounds so good! Thanks!

I have PCOS to and had a difficult time with my fertility for a while. I now have 2 wonderful daughters (3 years and 15 months) and considering trying for a third. Just know you aren't alone and you will find the support you need here. Feel free to friend me, I would love to support you! :flowerforyou:

I have a 3 year old who keeps asking me to paint her nails because she watches me do mine. (I think her 15mo old sister wants it done too.) I told her we would do it for her birthday, thankfully she forgot! I think I am trying to avoid this whole growing up thing. :ohwell:

I have PCOS too and of all the research I have done on it I have never heard this. I know for me personally that if I get under 1200 calories I don't feel I have any energy left and I feel hungry all the time, like stomach growling hungry. I'd be interested in reading the article. Edit: I do monitor my carbs more closely…

I have PCOS too and I agree with MissMaryMac33, first off you NEED to change your diary settings to reflect the lower carb percent! I have mine set to 30%. It is hard sometimes to keep it under that goal since I LOVE carbs, but it is definitely possible. I eat a lot of ground turkey and chicken breast. I'm branching out to…

That is freaking AWESOME!!!!

Serious awesomness there! Both in my top 5!

I was diagnosed with PCOS in Dec 2002. It has been a long struggle. You will definitely find support here!

As a CVT (in Arizona) working with animals is totally a workout. I didn't work with large animals but wrestling a large dog for just a nail trim certainly should have counted for something. When I was working (now I'm a stay at home mom) I was always curious how my calorie expenditure looked, but that was before I tried to…

I'm a PCOS'er too. It's been a long struggle with this and my symptoms, (easy weight gain and so hard to lose it, acne, unwanted hair growth, menstrual irregularities, and fertility issues). I was diagnosed 8 or 9 years ago and I've battled depression and anxiety as well as complete denial because of this. I am finally on…

Bump....I can always use ideas for chicken.

AWESOME! I wish I was in your family. I'm not Scottish by blood, but I should have been. I had a renaissance themed wedding and with bagpipes playing as I walked down the isle and a druid officiating the ceremony which incorporated a hand-fastening and an earth ceremony. I listen to Celtic music all the time and if my…

I haven't tried the Thin in 30 but I have the older TransFirmer workouts from The Firm. The ones with the 6 inch and 8 inch steppers that combine to the 14 inch. They kick my @ss, which is what they are supposed to do, right?. LOL. Unfortunately I have bad knees now and the stepper has turned into a coffee table. Once I…

I'm glad you plan on calling your doctor in the morning, but if you are concerned about your sugar levels being low please please please have some fruit or orange juice or something and please make sure that someone is with you overnight. I've had my grandfather go into a diabetic coma when his sugar level was too low.…

You need to eat something and have some more water. If you don't feel better then you may need to go get some medical attention. You may be dehydrated and potentially having low blood sugar too you could be in serious trouble.

Mine says 230lbs. When I got it I was probably 10lbs over that. Yes, I lied. My highest was 293 during pregnancy, 287 just before the pregnancy. I am currently 253lbs. When I reach my goal I think I'll get another one made. I'd wait until it expires, but mine doesn't expire until 2044. Gotta love Arizona. For some reason…
