Marvin - good luck with the treatment. I didn't have PCOS (as far as I know - I'm not really sure what it is - I will have to read up). However, I had trouble getting pg because my cycles were so irregular. My doctor had me take a medicine - it's been so long I can't think what it was but I got pg the second month I took it. It was a drug that induces ovulation but it wasn't one of the ones that tends to result in triplets and quads. There was a slightly increased risk of twins. Anyway it worked.

Good luck and good luck getting ready to move!

Marvin -

Sorry to hear your doctor canceled out - can't believe they didn't call you to say the doctor wasn't in so you didn't have to go in just to go back home. You are right - it was clomid. However, my doctor had me take a generic version. He said it may not be scientific but he'd had better luck with his patients with a certain generic manufacturer than with the brand name.

Marvin: Glad to hear your appt. is rescheduled - good luck. I know what you mean about working out harder when people are watching. I haven't been so good with my workouts this week - I walked Monday at the mall while my daughter was at piano but didn't do anything Tues, Wed, or Friday. I did yoga Thursday and this morning. I need to clean house later and then I will do a good workout on the ET. I did get a good yoga workout this morning and I feel great. Work has been so grueling lately and when I come home I just feel like I want to go to bed after everything is done. I want to try to make myself start getting up at 5 AM to workout. I've tried before and end up just resetting the alarm but I have to really try to do it. I hate taking two showers a day, which is what I have to do if I work out at night.

Well, that's it. Have a good weekend.

Well, today was a rainy day. I stayed home from Sunday School/Church because I had a sore throat when I woke up but was fine later. My DD had a fever and my DH had a higher fever. So they both layed around sick all day and every now and then I got them some meds, water, soup, etc. I think they have the flu. I had a flu shot so I am hoping I won't get it. My DD seems better tonight. She got dressed and seems pretty perky. Since they were both laying around too sick to interupt me this morning, I got a whole hour of yoga done and 30 minutes on the ET. I drank a lot of water too. I think I will make it through this day without breaking my diet too.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

I just posted on the old thread!
Im back.. and 2 lbs heavier
I am FINALLY recovering from my illness and ready to get back on track. I sure could use a lil nudge to get myself moving.

I have the mental desire.. just not the strength to follow thru

I saw a elliptical trainer at walmart this past weekend for 169. Im seriously thinking about purchasing it just to see if I like it well enough to spend more money on a nicer one. I know the story tho... you get what you pay for! I have a very bad left knee and I really want something to take alot of the stress and impact off of it. I'm thinking this is the way for me to go.

Marv, just to let ya know.. Im a knit-a-holic!! LOL I have been for about 10 yrs now. I knit whole blankets and bedspreads. I think if it keeps your hands busy, it keeps you outta the cookie jar!!

Im sure glad to be back . Im going to stretch and do my Tae Bo today. First time in over a year. I think this new thread has motivated me Headed for the exercise clothes right now.. I'll post tomorrow if I can move!!!

Marvin, I hope your back gets better soon. Glad to see you are keeping active - just take it easy on your back so it doesn't get worse.

I used to quilt but hardly ever sew at all now since I am always stamping or scrapbooking if I get a spare moment. I agree with Debbie (Honeyrose) - you can't munch when you keep your hands busy, especially when it's something you don't want to get crumbs or chocolate on.

Debbie, glad to hear you are feeling better. It's hard to get back into the routine of exercise but just try to take it one day at a time and see how much progress you make. A few years ago I was in a bad car accident and when I was able to start exercising again all I could do at first was walk around the parking lot at work for 15 minutes. But then a month later I could look back and see how much I'd improved. I have an Eliptical. I like it a lot. It seemed really hard at first but I've worked up from 10 minutes to 30. You're probably right to get an inexpensive one and see if you like it.

Today I got up early and did 30 minutes on the ET before work - YEH - I don't have to take 2 showers. I may do some yoga later.

Have a good Tuesday!

hi marvin and all!
i hope you don't mind if i join your thread. i decided today to do something about fitting in exercise, so i need support! i just got off the phone with a friend who told me that it really helps to have people to motivate you to GET STARTED. i used to go to the gym 4 times a wk and work out for 70 minutes, but i decided to take the money i use to pay for my gym membership to get an internet cable connection/subscription. so since then (october) i've been jogging on and off and doing a pilates tape on and off. actually since three weeks ago when i decided to go on WW, i've done no exercise. my reasoning was that i don't want to put the stress of starting a diet and exercise all together. but now i'm used to WW and it's time for me to begin!
