Hello Cysters!

I am finally feeling good. My back has been killing me for days! But regardless I still walk or workout. I tried to do 2 miles again today but my legs just wouldn't let me, so just did the 1 mile W.A.T.P.

chouchoubou! I am on Fortamet, which is a form of Met, but for me has a lot less of the nasty effects.

beerab -- Yeah I see my comment now. Yes the internet is a God send to us Cysters that is for sure!

pinkhoodie -- BIG GIANT hon. I have been there so many times with the negative tests. Even if you are sure your not, deep down it still hurts. Yes losing weight on this dang disease is so difficult, no one else gets how tough it is except other Cysters. Even my friend just doesn't get it. She has lost A LOT of weight but she is A) under 30 B) does not have PCOS OR DIABETES. So sometimes I feel like telling BACK OFF! lol. I workout EVERY SINGLE day and eat right and its still a challenge as we all know! lol. Hang in there lady!

HeatherMcG -- Oh BIG GIANT to you as well! SO sorry to hear about your gma! Also sorry to hear about the BFN. Those hurt no matter what. It definitely could be stress. Have you tested your blood sugar? Maybe its going too low. Sometimes you can get symptoms like those with that but if it keeps up, make an appt with your family dr. just to be sure.

astrophe -- BIG to you as well. I have been feeling blah too with this crappy cool rainy weather. I push myself to workout everyday and it is amazing how exercise can change your mood!

jennyplain -- I am waiting on AF too. Just finished a Cycle of Prometrium. So yippee can't wait til "she" arrives to visit. lol. I figure on this one being a really Heavy AF since I haven't had one in I dunno how long.......YAY. lol.

BIG to everybody who needs them right now!!!

Well girls, I got a nice huge surprise today of a big fat positive!!! I am pregnant!!!! I can't believe it! I just can't wrap my mind around it. I just really hope and pray this baby sticks. Been feeling sick today, so the symptoms are here with a vengance. I weighed in at 222.6 today, and I have NO doubt the weight loss helped me be successful this month. Please pray for a sticky baby!!

CONGRATS, Pinkhoodie! Sticky vibes your way!

Hi Sassy! HUGE CONGRATS TO PINK HOODIE!! Best wishes!! Awesome news!!

Quick check in... I need a bit of a vent.

I'm hanging in there this week with the crazy PMS sugar cravings. I'm still averaging about -400 calories a day. Not the -500 I shoot for, but for PMS crazy time pretty good. But the bloating is making me cross.

Blah.

Yay girls!!! Congrats! Sticky dust to you all!

Hey Cysters!

astrophe -- I feel ya Cyster! I am PMSing as well. I should start very soon I think. I stopped the Prometrium about a week ago. I can feel it though and I'm extra cranky that is for sure! lol. I didn't walk today yet, because my mom came. I need to do that. Big


I hope you are all doing well!

Monday, monday...

Started off cranky getting everyone out of here to work and school. Boy, this PMS is making me evil!

But a new week, so I'm going to stick as close to possible to plan despite crazy cravings.

How's everyone else this week?

Afternoon Cysters!

I WI today, lost 1 pound. Well at least its a loss and not a gain! I was amazed because since my mom was in town I didn't exactly eat the healthiest. I've been feeling really crappy too. But I still do my W.A.T.P infact yesterday I did 2 miles. I felt like I had too to make up for the crapola I've been eating. I am gonna try to do 2 again today if I ever stop feeling nauseous.

Hi chouchoubou!

astrophe -- pmsing does suck. I'm right there with ya. Hard for me to stay motivated but somehow I keep exercising at least. Big

Hi to everybody else out there, I hope your all doing well!

Good Afternoon All,

I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and being insulin resistant which has prompted me at last to change my lifestyle. My Doctor put me on Metformin and I'm trying to keep my eating low carb-ish, no processed foods, no "white" foods like pasta rice etc. I'm feeling pretty good about it all. The only negative thing so far with the Metformin is that I can't eat nuts anymore, they send me straight to the bathroom which my Doctor tells me is due to the drug. It looks like avocado might be in the same boat too, which sucks because I love fresh guacamole!

I'm in my mid 30's, married and live in Tennessee. It's so hot here today (almost 90) and I have to mow the yard later, going to wait until it's waaaay later when it's cooled down!

Welcome Tea Rose!!

TeaRose!! What part of Tennessee are you in? My DH has family in Knoxville. I hear on the no carb thing it is tough that is for sure!

Thank you Sassy and Bou

I'm in Fayetteville, about 90 minutes south of Nashville.

Not sure whether it was my IR or the fact that last night's sleep was interrupted many times with bathroom trips (hopefully the latter) but I took a nap this afternoon that didn't help at all . About to cook dinner, shrimp stir fry with home grown kale and spinach. This could be interesting...

Hey, a Cyster thread! I'm a PCOS-er on the weight loss trail
