Hi chicks!
I'm new and am enjoying this site. I'm 39 (gulp) and have PCOS. Over the past 3 years I've lost approx 30 pounds, trying to lose more. Size 12 but aim to be a size 10. Am on 1000 mg of metformin. Ever since I started exercising regularly (3 years) I have had regular periods. And I hadn't had those in 14 years! So the doctors are right when they tell you that exercise helps.
As you all know, losing weight with PCOS or insulin resistance is more difficult than someone without these diseases. I had seen the ad on tv for those Full-Bars. They are expensive! So I was googling info about them and that's how I stumbled on this site. Someone said that she was taking psyllium seed husks in water to help her feel full. But I found that Metamucil makes a product with psyllium fiber in it. So I bought the orange flavored smooth sugar free. And surprisingly, it tastes fine. Reminds me of Tang (I may be dating myself by that reference
Today is the first day I've tried it in an effort to curb my appetite. I learned that you must drink it right away b/c it pretty quickly turns into a thick gel. Which was kind of good to see b/c you can see how it will expand in the stomach. Is anyone else trying this or have they tried it? I'll let you know how it goes.
Hope everyone has a good day, we have 13" of snow here in Indianapolis!
