  • Howdy Girls.

    Wow! Talk about Temperature Change! Holy Moly! Its SNOWING! The wind is blowing, this is just plain weird! They say that its supposed to get into the negative temperatures this weekend? What kind of Easter is this going to be? Easter Bunny better bundle up! lol.

    Of course with all this blasted weather my back and DH's knees are killing us! Can't wait until the weather finally makes up its mind! lol.

    TY Princess, AF is rather frustrating at times. lol. I hope AF is kind to you.

    Well you all take care and KEEP WARM -- if it is cold where your at, if not, then um, well lol...............


  • Hey Girls

I just want af so i can get back on the Diet Pills and lose some more weight as soon as i have stopped taking them i have put 7lb back on which takes me to 270 which im not happy about but i have been eating crap anyways .. I had my hair cut and coloured this week and it looks great i've gone chocy brown with blonde chunks underneath...I'll try and post a picture in a while.

  • Here's the picture of my new hair colour ... The cut is the same as before....

    [IMG][/IMG]
  • Teresa - I love the hair colour!!! By your chart, it definitely looks like you ovulated, but yeah your BD seems a little too far back, but hey you never know! I'm waiting waiting waiting for AF....I know it's coming (hopefully!!!) in the next few days. It'd be cool if we were on the same CD next cycle.

    Sassy - Thanks for starting the new thread it didn't even occur to me that DUH!! It's April!!! It's snowing here too, and it's like -13 or something with the wind chill! BRRRR!

    princess - Hope your cramps are better soon!

    Anyhow as for me just going through the motions today at work, looking forward to the long weekend! (although I have to work on Saturday ). Hope everybody has a great day.

    Liz
  • Good morning Girls! I am felling sleepy!

    Sassy~ I know what you mean about the cold weather!! It has not snowed but we have very cold temps and Easter will be very cold as well here.

    Teresa~ I am loving the hair!

    Liz~ i hope you have a great day too!

    As for me I am still not doing good on this diet this week! I know it has to do with PMS being hungry all the time. My FF chart to is making me a little crazy! My temp was droping and today it went up. Although I do have a headache and that's another sign for AF to come. I wish she would just come on already and quite toying with me.
  • Hi everyone! I've posted a couple of times before but probably not enough for anyone to remember me!
    I have a question for you all. I'm on metformin, and just updated my dose to 3x/day. I've had nausea, etc when I've upped my dose before but this time it's very bad! I've read on other sites where people said that when they ate "right" that they didn't experience side effects as much. What do you all recommend for a "menu" on days when the meds are too much?
    I'm going to do some research today on low GI diets. Any book recommendations?
    Thanks a bunch!!
  • Hey septembers goal I remeber you nice to see you back.. I dont really know anything about metaformin but i have done the low GI diet myself and i have found it pretty easy to follow ... I was told the basic thing about GI is eating mostly Brown stuff i.e pasta , cereal , rice and bread all brown and thats what i do.

    Thanks to princess and liz for the kind words about my hair im really loving it... AF turned up this morning that was a lovly easter present for me and im out on the town tonight and as per usual af shows when im going out lol so yeah im offically not ttc again now till Jan 08 and im actully really looking forward to the break and getting rid of my flabby bits... I hope liz were on same cycle again that would be cool.,.. oh and in the end i dont think i did ovualte but oh well better luck next time i say...

    take care all and i'll stop by soon.

  • Septembersgoal~ I would suggest the insulin Resistance Diet book.

    Teresa~ Sorry you got AF! She does like to make grand entrances.

    As for me I am still waiting on her. I know shes coming cause my temp has gone down and I have a headache still! This headache will not go away till she comes. I did go to the tanning bed last night. Oh it felt so good! I did not stay in it long. I like to go to get some rays for some reason it makes me feel better.

    Chat with you girls later!
  • Its Beginning to a lot like........
    Christmas more than Easter! lol. Snow here, blowing, looks and FEELs like Christmas instead of Easter!

    I hope you all have a Wonderful Easter!


  • Thanks Teresa and PrincessPeony!
    I'm thinking about buying the IR Diet Book. In searching for it I also found "The PCOS Diet Book" which sounds very interesting. Anyone heard of it? On Amazon they have a combo deal on the two books.
  • Well I ended up purchasing three books from amazon--like I have the money for that!! But I'm looking forward to getting them and getting a little more educated. I think it will be a great resource and good info. I purchased "The PCOS Diet Book: How You Can Use the Nutritional Approach to Deal with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome," "The Insulin-Resistance Diet : How to Turn Off Your Body's Fat-Making Machine," and "New Glucose Revolution Guide to Living Well with PCOS." I'll be sure to give you all the reviews!

  • Happy Easter Girls!!!!

    Septembersgoal~ Let us know about the 3 books you purchesed. Especially the PCOS diet.

    As for me I am still waiting for Af. I really hope she doesn't show and I get a BFP! Keep fingers crossed.

    Chat with you girls later.
  • hey girls just stopping by to say happy easter to you all..i hope you all have a good one....

    Princess i hope you get a bfp or she just shows soon for you so you cna get on with next cycle....

    Sassy...We have blazing sunshine here shows u how didferent 2 sides of the world to be were normally the cold freezing continant lol oh well i gues that global warming for ya.

    septembergoal...You have done totally the right thing buying those books as there give you the knowledge you need to take this thing whether it be info on pcos or losing weight with it to the next level ... I really hope that it works for you and you get something out of them KUP on how your doing.
