The scales have been slowly moving back to my weight pre-travel, pre anniversary dinner, pre-everything.

I'm back down to 161.8 lbs... yay.... I retain water just by looking at it!

Checking In:

Slowly moving back to tracking portions and food logging. Slowly getting my home back in order. Slowly picking the exercise thing back up.

Mom called to tell me Dad is signed up for various counseling/classes and he's so far willing to go/cooperative even though he thinks they are going because SHE is the sick one. I congratulated her on just rolling with it. Who CARES who is "really" the sick one? Just GO!

I feel like breathing a huge sigh of relief!

•How are you?
Doing ok. have a 5 month old baby. breastfeeding him. Eating healthy but packing on the sugar. man.. sugar cravings!

trying to excercise. Want to be healthy but just being unable to cutback on my sweet tooth.

•How was last month?
It was ok ....still trying to get rid of pregnancy weight. still breastfeeding exclusively..

•How's your PCOS management going?
trying to excercise but its hard. started part time work this month so its becoming even harder. the facial hair seems to be back in full force and the post natal glow seems to be fading and the acne coming back. sigh.

Welcome back, PGH! And congrats on nursing baby! I miss those baby days with mine.

My Check In:

Chasing off the last of this cold. But still logging, still taking walks, still doing the baby steps.

I'd like to just go with that through the rest of December and get on the other side of New Year and all the party party. Managing to keep the socializing low key ish but navigating party food is a challenge!

TOM has me all bloaty -- I hope to shed that soon.

A.

•Who's here this month?
Me, been slacking off.

•How are you?
I'm doing ok, been really slacking on everything because I've been so busy, which is funny because I'm on break now from college.

•What are you working on?
Getting back into the swing of things, vitamins, exercising more regularly, and finding a better way to manage my sweets cravings they are so crazy lately. Going to whole foods today to shop for supplements and concocting a low carb menu, its funny how different you feel when your focused and doing what you need to do and when your not.

•How was last month?
Not too bad, have to find a better way to deal with my sweet cravings, been caving in to everyone that offers them lately. eek.

•How's your PCOS management going?
Eh my period has been all over from not getting it to randomly getting it for one day 15 days into my next cycle. Its been crazy, and I think that is also why my sugar cravings are so crazy.

*Who's here this month?

Hi! I'm a bit of a lurker, I decided to join and finally start talking! I'm Brittany, btw.

*How are you?

Great, thank you :P

*What are you working on?

Weight loss, I am a little more than halfway there, 231/168/130

*How was last month?

Great, busy with moving.

*How's your PCOS management going

Just started a new bc, ortho tri cyclen. I've tried quite a few, last was on yaz and didn't notice any difference. I have really bad hirsutism, I wax twice a week, and since moving to a totally new climate my acne has been bad.


We've just moved to another country, again, and I am friendless and dealing with the weight loss and reoccurring PCOS problems. I found this site and have been reading it, and figured that it is probably a good idea to join in. It just gets too hard to explain to people the 'whys' of PCOS, and half the time I don't think people believe me. Maybe that's just me being paranoid

So anyway, hello everyone, and I am glad to be joining in (finally!)

Hello everyone!

An update -- family is driving me nuts, but I think that's probably normal for the time of year. My friends are driving me nuts too (canceling and rescheduling plans). Basically I love this time of year, but it makes a lot of people crazy, me included.

PCOS is fine, I'm desperately trying to eat well, but I know that my sugar/carb intake has gone up. My boyfriend wants to celebrate the season more loosely (I tend to be strict about my intake), and it's hard to say no because I am usually so strict.

My weight was 161.2 lbs this morning (YAY) which means that despite my loosening up the reigns it hasn't wrecked havoc on my body. I just have to continue exercising (which I am doing even if the minutes aren't update on the other thread) and eating well during the other mealtimes.

I hope everyone has a great Christmas or Hanukkah or whatever else you may celebrate at this time of year!

I'm back! Had a lovely time with family, Dad is behaving for the most part on his meds. Went a lot better than I thought it would.

Now trying to clean up the house, fridge, and settle back into normal eats instead of party eats.
