Hi everyone! I also can't believe it's November already. I never believed people when I was little about time speeding up when you get older. I believe it now!
I'm doing well this week, lost a total of 3 pounds! I wish I could pull those big numbers like some but 3 seems to be my max. I'll take it nonetheless.
Teresa: I love that top! I'm so into black and red right now!

:hug: everyone!
Thanks for starting the thread Irisheyes.
Yay for the 3 lbs loss Vanessa! I could never lose that much in a week, my max is 1.5lbs.
treezuk thats a cute top :D
Its been a while since I last checked in, gained 3 lbs :mad: gotta reset my ticker back to 218. I kinda deserve it 'cause I was off the diet most of the time, stuffed in half a pizza pie, loads of chocolate at the office and my moms yummy mini chicken-mayo sandwiches and no exercise whatsoever! Gotta get back on track.
Going to be a hard week next week, we're moving offices. Gotta make sure everything is ready before the move, specially the phone system since customers will be calling in. ugh, so stressfull... hope I survive.

Pria bar
tangerine
6oz yogurt
6 almonds
soup at hand
1 cup homemade coleslaw
2 tbls natural peanut butter
2 + stalks of celery
lean cuisine meal
1/2 cup homemade coleslaw
6oz yogurt
1oz cheese
1/4 of a pomagrante
Have a healthy day!!!

Hey Everyone
Peanut : It was Jiggly bits lol , Most of us are around everyday so were remind you about the water no problem. I am hoping to get to about 252lbs by Christmas day thats another 21lbs to go , so our target is about the same so we can all spur each other on. :)
Irish : Yeah im hoping the wedding will rock there is quite a lot of us going from the same circle of friends so i can see us causing chaos after the partys finished hehe were continue it in our rooms if u know what i mean lol , might aswell enjoy ourselves. Were all friends from school we have done so well to keep in contact since leaving , i guess thats when you know you have true friends if u make that extrra effort to stay in touch, :)
Sassy : Where are you Hiding ??????? I hope your ok hunni
Jiggly : Hope your ok Girly , i hope your still on track and going strong.
Me : I am having another nightmare with this stupid wedding outfit lets just say i got the jacket this morning i wanted and it looks crap , was too long on the arms too long in length and covered half the skirt and i looked dwarfed by it and just generally to big , so i have to go flipping shopping again tommorow and maybe change my whole outfit again. :( on a plus side they still do the dress in black i loved so i have another option :) and i got to do some xmas shopping to send to America (AZ) for a friend cos i wanna get it out the way before its too late to send it. AF still aint showed (cd40) and im basiclly just peed off with everythign now lol.

Hi!
I hope you don't mind if I join - I have not been officially diagnosed with PCOS although I have all the symptoms. The hair, the weight, the missing AF....on and on. We have been trying for 2 years now...I was on clomid which was working well for me (in terms of getting me to ovulate) but no pregnancy after 2 rounds. I decided to take a break in August to focus on losing weight (although of course not going on b/c). So far so good! I would love to have some ladies to talk to!
Liz :)

Irish, Lookingforhope, Teresa, and Jiggly: Thank you so much for the positive words. It means a lot to me! I’ve now officially reached a 20 pound total loss! I’m nervous now because I’ve never lost more than that -- this is where I’ve always fallen off the wagon….. Any advice? I hope to hit 199 by the end of the year—yikes!
I’m getting my food habit back in order, last week was a killer! It felt as if it was out of my control. Not like I was eating a crazy amount of food, I’ve never done that, but it was chaotic and it messed with my head. No breakfast one day, no lunch the next, garbage for a whole day, I’m sure you girls are familiar. That’s how I used to eat everyday and now I remember how bad it feels…..no more….
Teresa: Are you still on track for your November goal? It’s going to take a miracle to pull mine off but I’m refusing to change it so soon. It’s too early to tell still.
Hey Pretty: Drink your water! Lol… Welcome!
Welcome Liz too! It’s nice to have some fresh “faces”! Now I don’t feel so new! I used clomid to get pregnant with DS a few years ago, it looks as if you’ll have a good experience too if you go back to it. But hey- maybe just losing weight will be enough to get go pg!

Vanessa - Thanks for the welcome!! I'm a little bored at work today so hanging around the boards is a great way to spend the time!
I've noticed that AF is being a bit more regular since starting to lose weight (like every 45-75 days). I am temping everyday and tracking CM to get an idea of where I'm at. I really hope I'll ovulate soon (I'm on CD13 currently). That would be a miracle - but I'm hopeful since I've dropped a bit of weight so far. Before, when I weighed around 270-280, I would only get AF maybe once every 3-4 months or so.

Good morning
Is anyone here temping? Teresa I notice you have a fertility friend link so I guess you are? I think I may have O'd...my temp has gone up the past two days. We'll see if it continues.
prettypeanut - Hopefully AF is late for the right reason! That's a good sign if your boobs are hurting and it's not usual...not sure about the metformin though my doc was thinking of putting me on that but so far I haven't tried it. Do you find it helps you?
Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning ladies
Well my temp went down - I knew I couldn't have ovulated! My God, what crazy thinking that my body could have done something right. LOL
Peanut - Good luck with testing!! BFP vibes coming your way!
Teresa - You are shopping for a wedding outfit, right? I had to do that recently and it was a nightmare too...couldn't find anything I liked until I finally got lucky and got a pretty black skirt and top. I can't wait until I can just go in any store and find something nice! Sorry to hear about your eye - hope it gets better soon!
Hope everybody has a great day! :)

Im so depressed.. I went to Walmart got a cheap kit.. Tested and i was sitting on the toilet. and (ive done these test 80 times) i swear i saw a plus!
i put it down ran downstairs.and tried to figur ewho to call first..
after about 5 min. called my husband.and he said are u sure? and i said no im not sure. but the test shows it..
So i hang up with him, go back up and no plus sign..
One girl said my levels may be not high enough. i was so excited i dont reacll if it was light line or dark. all i saw was a line..
Another friend said could be a M/C.. or because im back on metformin.
I feel so awful right now. i had to call him back and say.. Your stupid wife. messed up i think..
He wants to retest.. he stil has hope..

Hey everyone
Peanut : I doubt it would be a m/c chances are if you saw a line then it may well have been a line the bext thing to do would be to retest in 2 days as your Numbers double every 48 hours when pregnant so it you were to get a plus you would be getting a darker one by then for sure. Best thing to do it try not to think about it to much till its time to test. Good Luck
Liz (sept) : Lucky for me i have two dresses put aside at a shop now i go to get on Friday and i will buy the best size one , however i also have one coming tommorow that i ordered so for one day only im gonna be spoilt for choice unless theres a clear winner lol so im a little more calmer today , i have also lost 3lb this week so i sooooooo happy after the last few weeks i am glad its started moving again.

Pretty: Sorry you're having a tough time! I don't know what to say....Keep us updated, k?
Teresa: Yeah! 3 pounds! Great job! I've lost 2 more this week, but I'm afraid of the 20 pound mark where I always fall off the wagon. I'm trying not to obsess so I don't burn out.

Good morning ladies
Peanut - Sorry about your test. Although if you saw a line, it's possible! Test again in a couple of days. I hope this is it for you! Do you temp? I know some people find temping kind of maddening but I like it to see where I am and what's going on...that way my BFN's have never been a shock. Sort of like weighing everyday I guess!
Teresa - Way to go on the 3lbs!! That's awesome for one week!
Vanessa - I know what you mean, I have gotten into the 220's before and then fallen off the wagon. This time feels different though - I'm gonna do it and so are all of us! YAY US! :)
Anyhow hope everyone has a great day!

Hey girls just checking in. I'm so sick right now, I feel miserable! I've had a fever since early yesterday and can't seem to do anything. Soooo.... that means no exercise for me for two days; I'm not holding out much hope for this week's weight loss. However, I haven't felt well enough to eat much either so maybe....

Morning. Can't sleep. I need to sleep, but cannot. I laid in bed for 2 whole hours and just couldn't fall asleep. :tired: I keep hearing every single sound. At first I thought it was the downstairs neighbors, but looked outside, they are gone. So not sure what I'm hearing.
I need to sleep because I have to work tonight. If I was off, I wouldn't care. Its too late for me to take any sleeping meds, if I take them now I won't want to get up later.
AF is totally crazy. :dizzy: She cannot make up her mind if she is staying or leaving. It goes by hour by hour now. One hour I may be light, the next I may be heavy, very strange. I have an appt. with my gyn. the end of the month and I plan on keeping this one, no matter what! Even if AF is still here and even if she is heavy, I'm still going! Something needs to be done. I know that with PCOS it is "normal" to have irregular periods, but this is ridiculous! I don't think I've ever had one this strange!!!!! lol.
I'm having a difficult time with giving up the regular pop totally. I do fine at home, but its at work where the problem is. I need the caffenine I think to stay awake and I'm not a big coffee or tea drinker, I have to be in the mood. UGH. Why can't I like diet pop like my mother? :rolleyes: I feel like a complete failure, why is it so hard for me?
Exercise is another thing I've been slacking on. I know I need to do it, but I just can't bring myself to do it. We've been working over time and my back has been killing me lately too, but I know that isn't a good enough excuse.
Well sorry to have blabbered on........lol.
Have a Great Day!

Sassy: I'm totally in the dump with you right now! I've managed to give up soda almost all together, I hate diet so I ended just not drinking soda at all. But dammit, this is hard! Not just soda but everything. Thinking of my long term goal usually motivates me but it's not working today...or yesterday...or the day before.
Today I'm going to eat like a saint, work my butt off on the treadmill, and take the dog for a lond walk tonight if it doesn't rain. I so don't want to blow my Thanksgiving goal even if it's pretty unrealistic by this point. Wish me luck!

Hey Girls
Sassy : The first time i dieted (2004 and lost 28lbs then put it back on till this diet) i found it hard to give up soda but i made the concious effort to switch to diet , i hated the taste but i persavired and i did it , althought now i dont drink soda at all i made the decision this time to not drink it full stop all i drink now is Decaf tea , fruit juice (cordial and add water type) and Water ( unless at friends/out of my control) and i feel so much better for it at first you crave them but after a few days you forget about it another thing is too , i dont buy it so i cant have it and that has been the best tool for me , i give up potato chips too in favour of rice cakes so i knew if i brought them id wanna eat them so i dont buy them anymore, its hard hunni but you have the willpower :hug: I am sorry to hear about this AF it really sounds like you have had enough now and i dont blame you surely there is something the ob can do about it cos its getting a bit out of control now.
Vanessa : Im glad you like the hair-do :) I know its stressfull this weightloss stuff but remeber stress causes some people to eat unconiously so try not to think about it think about what you wanna achieve rather than what your eating , cos i dunno about you as soon as i think about what i have to eat i get depressed cos it isnt a choclate bar or it isnt something really fattening , its all healthy stuff thats kinda boring which makes me feel liek arghhhh not more fruit etc its enough to make you go nutty. Chin up your get there.
Me : I am feeling rough today , I was lightheaded earlier and felt a bit sick although i wasnt , i had some food but i still feel the same i am a bit tired to today but i have had enough sleep , and stomach feels crampy and a bit twingy and back is aching so im hopeing that af might be on her way and thats why i feel a bit blah im on cd46 now so i hope this is it , if not i have no idea maybe im coming down with a little bug or something. I hope i feel a bit better tommorow.

Hi girls
Vanessa - Sorry you're not feeling well! Hope you're feeling better by now.
Sassy - It's so hard to give up stuff you like. I find I can try to keep things in moderation but when it's something you crave, it's so much more difficult. I'm not bad on pop (I love diet - actually truth be told I probably drink way too much of diet pop) but things like cookies or chocolate or ice cream, I can't just have a little. It ain't happening. So I abstain...but sometimes I give in. We're right there with you! This whole thing can be such a struggle. Sorry to hear about your AF too, I've had tons of really weird ones....ones that last forever or ones that only last a day. I wish my body would just WORK for once!!
Teresa - I love your hair!! I want to do something like that. I got copper streaks but I would like to get blond ones...your pic makes me want to go very soon and get it done! Sorry you're not feeling well, hope you feel better soon!
Peanut - Sorry about the BFN. Waiting for AF BITES! I had a bad w/e too...eating all kinds of crap but oh well it's Monday & a new week. Back at it!
There were babies everywhere this w/e!! Of course we were shopping so it's to be expected, but it hit me kind of hard. My sister had her two daughters with her, one 2 and one 4...and it was always mommy mommy mommy. Aunts and/or grandma was not good enough! It had to be mommy. I can't wait for someone to want to be with me like that. SIGH! One day!

Hi Cysters! :wave:
Well yesterday I was definately in a funk! I think it was the hormones in over drive for sure! :dizzy: Some days I just feel totally insane! lol. Today I feel a lot better. AF is lightening again. She just cannot make up her mind if she wants to leave or stay. lol.
As for the pop, I did have a small amount yesterday, but other than that I have been drinking water and coffee (with sweet n low). The biggest challenge is when I am at work. But you know what I can have a pop on my desk at work and by the end of my shift (I work 10 hours and lately its been 12!) and I will usually still have pop left and I will just have DH finish it for me. So I think its not that bad, but I still need to have water on my desk and not the pop. Actually this week I had both and I ended up drinking more water than the pop, so that is a beginning I guess.
As for diet, blech. I will stick to my water, thanks. :) My dr wants me to drink water anyways. I do like juice but my dietician said that she would prefer me to eat fruit and avoid the fruit juice. I did see that Ocean Spray has Sugar Free Juices now? Anybody tried those???
Well I tried some sweet potato fries. I heard they are supposed to be better for you than regular fries. Well I think like the diet pop, I would rather go with out! lol. I like sweet potatoes but not in fries! lol. So I only ate a few of them so no worries on that.
Well I guess that is about it for me. I wish you all well and lots of ++++++++++++++++ thoughts! :D
Congrats on all the weight losses as well! ;)

I'm with you Sassy! I can't stand diet soda, I'd rather not drink soda at all. That's what I'm doing for now, none at all. It kinda sucks but I want to catch back up to make my Thanksgiving goal, so soda is not in the cards right now.
My husband made mashed sweet potatoes for me last week. It was a little weird at first but ultimately I've decided that I liked it, you may want to give it a try.

Hi Ladies. :wave:
Vanessa -- WTG on the no drinking soda. I'm trying, but its tough! I like Sweet Potatoes in other forms, just not in a french fried form, that is just kinda weird. lol. It just doesn't taste right. I know its still a sweet potato, just I don't know something about it. I like them baked or mashed or whatever else though. :)
Peanut -- I have been trying to send AF away so she can come and visit one of you fine ladies but she refuses to leave! lol. I haven't seen the SF juices either. I just saw the ad for them on tv. I'll have to look for them next time.
I hope you all are having a great night!

Hi Everyone,
Thank God I found this forum! I am in need of some serious support!
My name is Jenna, and I have struggled with my weight for my entire life. About 10 years ago (when I was 15) I was diagnosed with PCOS; however, I have not been very consistent in taking medication (metformin & spironolactone.) I was on Atkins for about 4 weeks, and I lost (only) 7 pounds.
During the last 2 weeks, I've completely fallen off of my program and have gained 5 pounds back. I struggle with depression, and I really feel that I've been binging the last couple of weeks because I've been feeling very low and helpless.
I have almost 80 pounds to lose, and I just feel so overwhelmed. As if losing weight isn't enough of a challenge, PCOS and depression make me feel as though I'll never be able to do this. :(
If anyone can share any advice or words of encouragment, it would really mean the world to me.
Thanks and God bless,
Jenna

Jenna: OMG you have to stay! I'm still pretty new to this group and now I absolutely NEED them! There's not too many of us, but the ones that show up are awesome. This is a good group for you if you need support. I also struggle with depression, sometimes it's really bad! PM me if you want to talk, I'm on here a few times a day.
Girls: Hello all. I totally fell off the wagon yesterday! :( Thursdays are hard for me, that's a pattern. My husband is off on Thursdays only (have I mentioned he's a culinary student?....groan...) so he wants to cook for me and eat unhealty things in my face. It's all very sweet but, damn! I screw up every week. I'm talking pancakes, a donut, chocolate milk, white rice.
I feel terrible today and want back on the horse. Yes, this is a recommitment. I'll make up for yesterday by eating RIGHT this week and exercising every day from here until next Thursday. I still have a chance at making my T-giving goal! You can expect me on here every day so I stay accountable. Give me **** girls! I need it this week if I'm going to make this mini-goal.

Hello girls!
I don't check in alot but I wanted to stop by and say hey!
I wanted to give you girls my insight about the soda things.
I started out where all I drank was Pepsi, Sweet Tea and Mt Dew.
I then switched to Diet Pepsi only.
I soon phased it so all that was in the fride was Propel water. I took what I needed to work. No extra money. So at work I only had Propel and the water thingy that they have here.
It didn't take long to do this and now I've gotten myself where if i want to have a diet soda ( which is rare) I get it and that's fine. I don't hardley ever want one!

Lookingforhope:Oh man, I miss Sweet Tea! That's not a diet thing, it's just not in California! My mother's family is from the South, that's all they drink ever. Mmmmm....
How's your water intake going? My water goal is similar to yours. I aim for 4 or 5 24 oz bottles a day, which is a minimum of 96 oz per day. I just added green tea too, so I'm in the bathroom a LOT! lol
Everyone:I'm so mad! I worked my fanny off yesterday and managed to gain a pound! I guess all I can do is work my fanny off again today and see how it goes. I'm not re-settingmy ticker, I still think I can catch up by Thanksgiving! Gaining muscle, right? Right?

Hi Cysters!
Sorry I've been MIA, but we've been working mass Over time! AF so far has slowed back down again, but like I said it now goes hour by hour on how she changes. I have an appt. with my gyn on the 28th and I plan on keeping it even if I'm going heavy.
I also wanted to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! :turkey:

Hi everyone! Would you mind if I jumped in here with you all?
My husband and I have been married for 5 years and TTC for about 4 months. I really, really want to get rid of the extra weight (that I've been struggling with for years) that I'm lugging around before pregnancy if at all possible. Plus we're just trying to get healthy!
Anyway, I hope that you don't mind me jumping in here. It's nice to find a like-minded group. :D

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new here. I've read through the forums for quite a while and just joined this week.
Quick outline on me: I'm 25 yo TTC, PCOS, no AF and just starting Provera. I need to loose at least 140 pounds. Doc wants me to loose as much weight as possible before he will go any further with testing to get me out of high risk range for the pregnancy.
I need all of the support you guys offer to be able to get this weight off. I've tried everything imaginable. It just feels like it doesn't come off. I've had a metabolic rate test done and awaiting the results.
:listen: :stress: :wizard:

:welcome: Christy & Melissa Its great to see you both here , i hope you find it as much support and help as we all do.
Just a quick update on my follow up fertility appointment today.
Unfortunatly it was a bit of a waste of time , the consultant was really nice , and she explained to me all my tests , i have no infections , my tubes were clear , my uterus is fine , and the hormone tests show i dont have PCOS as did the scan as i didnt have hardly any cysts , DH sperm test was normal and perfectly healthy so basiclly there is nothing wrong with either of us the only problem i have it not producing an egg very often.
She told me that i would be allowed clomid but not at the weight i am at the moment as she said if she gave it to me now , and it didnt work i would have wasted my chances which is fine i understand that , but now i have to get down to 84kg before ill be offered clomid , which is 6 stone (84lbs) roughly from what i am now , at the moment i weight 120.9kg so as you can see i have a mountain to climb and i feel like its the end of the world right now , she did say that it could happen on its own inbetween time but there is nothing to suggest i will ovulate with or without the help of Clomid.
I really am pissed off right now but i know it could have been a lot worse and i could have been told that i cant have kids at all or something much worse so i am counting my blessing but at the same time i am hurt that they cant help me and wont at this time and im gonna spend another year or so strugling unless im lucky and fall naturally.
Im sorry it wasnt better news but i am optamisitic one day i will get there. I hope you guys dont mine me letting off steam in here i just had to get it out or ill go mad. I hope its ok i stay even tho i no longer am diagnosed with pcos ???

Sassy: Where have you been? I thought about you just the other day. How is everything?
Teresa: I don't know where to begin! Chin up! You're right, things could be MUCH worse.
I'm confused about the scan result and your PCOS though. From what I understand you don't need tons a cysts to have PCOS, I know I had them sometimes and didn't have them other times (I had to have Ultrasounds every month for a while). I wouldn't be 100% convinced yet.
As far as the Clomid and weightloss: You may end up pregnant as you lose weight anyway, without Clomid. Maybe there's nothing to suggest you are ovulating, but is there something to suggest you're not? Your body may not be o'ing now but might when it's healthier. I say to keep losing weight, get yourself healthy, and if you don't get pregnant by the time you get to a healthy weight then you can still fall back on the Clomid.
Please stay positive and please don't leave!
btw- I love your hair.....;)

Thanks Vanessa for the kind words
Basiclly she went through all my results and she said all my hormone tests were ok the only thing that was down was my progesterone which as you know makes u ovualte , she said that althought i have cysts i dont have the classic string of pearls and i only have them on one ovary she said that i am just one of these people that makes cysts and they will proberly disapear or come back and/or repeat that pattern so they are nothing to worry about. I totally agree with you about the weightloss and falling back on clomid after thinking about it long and hard knowing i have nothing wrong means that i should be right get pregnant once my body starts ovaulting again which i hope will kick in eventully and as you say when i get to certain weight and it does i have nothing standing in my way and if i dont i still have the clomid as a last resort plus at that weight ill have other options open to me too.
This morning i am feeling a lot more posative about things i know its gonan be hard but im determined not to get upset and depressed about it and f*** up my diet cos then i will be in a worse situation that i am now and thats not gonna help me in the long run.
Thank you so much for supporting me i couldnt do it without you girls and i dont wanna leave i just wanna make sure its ok for me to stay even tho i dont have PCOS , love you guys :hug: Im glad you like the hair too i love it , i feel really good with this cut & colour hehe

Good morning ladies!!
First, Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans!! Go Turkey Day!! :)
Jenna - Welcome!! I know you can do this, this board is so amazing for support so check in for motivation and tons of awesome ideas!!
Christie - Welcome to you too!! I am new to this group too.
Teresa - Sorry about your doc appt, when I went for my first one last year he basically told me to lose weight too. We're basically the same as you - my DH checks out fine, it's just me that is not ovulating regularly. I was on clomid for two months, ovulated really well both of those months, but no pregnancy. DH & I decided then that I would come off the clomid, and work really hard at losing the weight (well it was more my decision really). I am SO hoping that I will be able to get myself ovulating by weight loss alone. We can do this!! :carrot:
Vanessa - WTG on your 10% gone!! That's GREAT!!!!!
Anyhow not much new here, waiting on AF...hope everybody has an awesome day and an awesome holiday if you're in the States.

Anyhow not much new here, waiting on AF...hope everybody has an awesome day and an awesome holiday if you're in the States.

I don't usually post here since I don't have PCOS, but I wanted to respond to treezuk. Last January, my RE told me that he could not help me unless I lost some weight. I know how heartbreaking and upsetting it is and I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. However, it's been almost a year since he said that and I've only lost a few pounds! Don't do what I did! I got so wrapped up in disappointment and bitterness and self hatred that I didn't make any progress, and that was the worst thing I could have done. It is so good that you realize already that you need to stay on track! My RE tried Clomid and injectables before giving up, and in 6 months of treatment we spent $5000 and I only ovulated once. I'm trying to lose weight now before going back to try again.
I also wanted to add that it isn't progesterone that makes you ovulate, it's the combination of estrogen and LH. Progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum (follicle) AFTER you ovulate, and it is what triggers a period or supports the egg if it is fertilized. LH causes the follicle wall to break down so ovulation occurs. I'm not sure when you had your blood work done, but progesterone is supposed to be low at the beginning of a cycle and will be low later in the cycle if you have not ovulated. Here's a detailed account of it all, if you're interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstrual_cycle
Anyway, I just wanted to say I understand how it feels and that if you keep up your positive attitude, you will be successful!

Peaceful - Just wanted to say that I'm not sure I have PCOS either, but I do have some of the symptoms - and you're welcome to post here if you want. I'm new but everyone is really nice and it's nice to have people to talk to that are going through the same thing. I too was "scolded" by my doc in May of 2005 and I did nothing for over a year and a half. Finally after two unsuccessful clomid months (when my doc I guess finally gave up on my losing weight) I finally got the wake up call that I needed that I HAD to get healthy. Even if it doesn't result in a successful pregnancy, I will still be better off.

Teresa: How are you? I've been thinking about you the last few days.... Are you doing alright?:hug:
Christie: Are you there girl? I hope you check in soon!
Everyone: Hi! Thank you, everybody, for your Thanksgiving wishes.We did have a really good time, we hosted this year so it was nuts!I totally blew my diet but I had already expected that.... So I ate potatoes and stuffing and drank soda! That's big time for me! I haven't had a potato or a soda in like 3 months!
Well, today I'm back on the wagon. Seriously. I weighed myself this morning to see what kind of damage I did yesterday. It was bad. How can that happen in ONE day? Whatever.
DS couldn't sleep last night so obviously niether could I. I slept between 6 AM and 8 AM. So I'm soooo tired, probably rambling, and I have no idea how I going to make it through exercises today!
I'm going to need to check in again today. I feel like I'm in AA, lol, I need a meeting, lol.

Vanessa - Glad you had a good thanksgiving!! Don't worry about the scale, you're probably retaining water or something from any extra salt you ate. I'm sure it will even out!! We all need days like that - as long as we get back on the wagon! ;)
Vanessa M.
11-24-2006, 03:34 PM
Yeah! Retaining water! I like the sound of that! Thanks! That may replace my favorite: gaining muscle right? lol!
You could be right, I don't think I ate that much, just not much healthy. I am re-committing, which as everyone here probably knows, I have to do every freaking week. But hey- I'm getting the job done!

LOL it's one my favourite excuses!! But it usually is true, too! I find if I have a high sodium meal I'm up the next day, but I drink lots of water and it comes off. I have to recommit all the time too! My DH is a huge weakness for me...he wants to order pizza or chinese a lot and I have to try hard to make sure I plan for these indulgences...some days though it just happens and I end up at like 2300 calories! OH well. Slowly but surely!

Vanessa: Yes I'm here. It's been a busy couple of days. My mom has been in the hospital.
Teresa: I know exactly what you are going through. My doc refused to give me anything as well until I get my weight down. :mad: He started me on Provera though to help regular my cycles (as I never know if I'm going to have one or not). I have only taken them for 3 days but have already had a loss of appetite and have lost almost 4 pounds on that alone. :D Too bad I can only take them for 10 days at a time if needed. :(
My sister doesn't have PCOS, but she got pregnant with both of her children after loosing about 20 to 30 pounds. Hopefully that will work for you and me too. Good luck!:hug:

Morning all, just checking in! How is everyone?
I've modified my goal for my birthday. I'd like to be at 195 by my birthday in two months. That way I can say I gave myself the gift of a 50 pound weight loss. Sound good? :)
Small triumph: I had to use the middle set of hooks on my bra today!

Hey Ladies.
Just a quick pop in. Been working Overtime and just hadn't had time to get in here.
I haven't had much of an appetite lately, but that is a good thing! I think its just the side effect of one my meds & the fact that I've been working so much.
AF is still crazy :dizzy:, she still goes moment by moment on what she wants to do. I see my gyn on Tuesday, if all goes well.
WTG Vanessa on using your middle hook on your bra! :carrot:
Take care all!

Vanessa: Congrats on new hooks! Hopefully the weight jump was just due to carbs and sodium and will be gone in a few days! That is a pretty agressive goal for your birthday but having an aggressive one will just make you work harder during the holidays.
Sassy: May your appt go well on Tuesday and may the dr have a solution to the AF marathon
Teresa: Sorry your appt didn't go as hoped. Im sure that if you can keep the scale moving things will start looking up for you!
Everyone Else: May you have a healthy week.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Me, well, I am officially not on the TTC train anymore. We are done trying. Now I just have to make the dr's appts so that I can get on a new med routine that may help more.
Good Luck and baby dust to you all!!!

Vanessa - That would be an awesome birthday present to give yourself! My birthday is in 2 weeks, and I had wanted to be in the 219's by that time, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. I'll keep plugging away though!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend...off to the gym now.

I think I'll be over it it fast though, it's like a 12 hour bug or something. I better be ok by tomorrow! It's DS's first day of preschool! I CANNOT miss that!
I'll check in again later....

Well AF showed up, so that was only a 34 day cycle! Not bad. Last month was 33 days, so it looks like the weight loss is having an effect. DH asked me start temping this month again, I was so surprised because usually he's more than happy to not think about it too much. So I will start temping!
Hope everybody's having a good day!

Hi all, well I had a Drs appt. today (with my Family Dr.) which I completely forgot about until like 1/2 hr before! DOH! :doh: lol. Luckily our Dr is only a couple min. away.
Of course we got there and had to wait, which is fine, our dr likes to take his time with his patients and not just boot you out the door. So we got in, I gave him my blood sugars that I had (I had to scramble making a spreadsheet real quick with the Blood sugars I had here, the rest are at work! OOPS!) So he put me on a brand new medication, called Januvia, he says it is supposed to be really great. Says it does everything and doesn't affect your kidneys at all. I read the insert on it (he gave me samples) and it says, well here is right from their website (http://www.januvia.com/sitagliptin_phosphate/januvia/consumer/ppi/index.jsp): What is Januvia
JANUVIA is a prescription medicine used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes). JANUVIA may be taken alone or along with certain other medicines to control blood sugar.
* JANUVIA lowers blood sugar when blood sugar is high, especially after a meal. JANUVIA also lowers blood sugar between meals.
* JANUVIA helps to improve the levels of insulin produced by your own body after a meal.
* JANUVIA decreases the amount of sugar made by the body. JANUVIA is unlikely to cause your blood sugar to be lowered to a dangerous level (hypoglycemia) because it does not work when your blood sugar is low.
So it seems it does it all. I am still on the Fortamet though, he wanted to keep me on that too for now. The Fortamet doesn't give me any troubles, but it doesn't seem to be helping with lowering my blood sugars. So we shall see how this new medicine and the Fortamet works!!!!! I took my 1st of the new one with my meal today. I go back in next month for another A1C (get those done every 3 months) and that will show how good it works, of course only 1 month will be on the Januvia. But I will keep track too.
So that is that. I did call and left a message to reschedule my gyn. appt that was tomorrow. We have plans and I just can't make it. Plus AF is still here. :rolleyes: But I will go! They are pretty good about rescheduling, it usually doesn't take very long.
Well I hope you all are doing well. Just wanted to share my drs. appt. since he put me on a new medication. I took my 1st dose today, so I will let you know how it does!

Hey girls! I'm already feeling a bit better, I think I only got a half of the flu everyone else had. I'm just hoping I don't get the other half later! lol.
I was feeling well enough to take the dog out for a long walk tonight. We went 4 miles! I'm lucky to have a dog with boundless energy, I've never seen him get tired and he's nearly 8 years old!
Sassy: Let us know how that new med does. I'm not diabetic but I like to stay informed.
Teresa: I'm glad you're feeling better, I've thought of you often the last few days. Can't wait to see the wedding pics!
I better get going, I have to be up early tomorrow. Like I said earlier tomotrrow is DS's first day of preschool and I also start watching my niece full time starting tomorrow. So I'll be busy busy! Talk to you all later!

Everyone: Hope you all are feeling well and are losing big weight! I've had a rough week, with getting sick right after Thanksgiving and all. I'm hoping to break even this week, two days after TG I was UP 4 pounds and as of today I'm only up 1. Hopefully I can get it together today and shake off this last pound. I really don't want any of them back!
Recently I picked up a 20lb bag of flour... What an eye opener. I've lost more than that bag weighed and I am SO glad not to have to carry that around all the time anymore!

Hey everyone
Teresa - Glad to hear your DH is feeling better. I checked out that link on the genetic disorder he has - I have never heard of that! What a lot of issues to possibly have to deal with. Does he have a lot of the problems mentioned? What are the chances of it being passed on? That's nice that they're paying your expenses to attend the conference - great to get all the information you possibly can.
I don't know what it is, I must have been retaining water or something last week prior to AF, because weight is just dropping off me this week. I weighed in at 226 on Monday, and this morning (yes I am an everyday weigher) I weighed in at 222. Crazy, huh?? Of course I'm not complaining. And I found out last night that I FINALLY weigh less than my DH!! :carrot:

Hi All.
Well so far that new medicine is making me feel nausious. Not as terrible as the Glucophage, but still just makes me feel icky. :p
AF is still poking about, acting like she wants to go away but still here enough just be annoying. lol.
This is the last day of November, so we'll be moving on to a new thread. So if someone wants to close up this one, it would be greatly appreciated! ;)
See you in the December Thread!!!!!!!
