Lose 10 Pounds in January Challenge!

[kdea547]

How long did it take u to concieve? I also have pcos and jus found out I am prediabetic and have high cholesterol
Did u have to take any medications

It took me 16 months to conceive. I had regular cycles and ovulated every cycle, but had some major hormonal imbalances. I took metformin to help with my blood sugar, drastically changed my diet, exercised almost everyday, and took a B-50 Complex everyday. I don't know if any of those things is what got me pregnant, but I did lose 20 lb and was in pretty good physical condition, so I'm sure it helped and since pregnancy, my blood sugar levels have been pretty stable without meds. Good luck to you!

I use Scottish porridge oats which has 4g fat in a 50g portion. I make it with water.

I'm doing 30day shred, was my second time at level 2. You do certainly work your butt off for 20mins minus warm up and cool down. I ache today.

Has anyone any tips to stop eating through tiredness? That's my biggest down fall

Yeah this is what I've got too. I know it's not HIGH, I just thought it'd be better, and that's without milk (can't do it with water!!)

I'm def finding that having to track my food on MFP is stopping me eating!! It's the shame of having to put it down!!

Kodi, I saw it on amazon too!! Might have to invest I think! And I'm heading for bikini in May, my first holiday in 4 years! Hooray!

Keep up the good work ladies!

Well I was jus prescribed metformin, my periods are not regular at all so I also take provera. I started taking a b12 vitamin. As far as my diet I can't seem to get down pact. Any tips would help so much

If you don't know what it is, google a low glycemic diet. Eating foods that have a low glycemic index can help regulate blood sugar and help you lose weight. It's not low carb, just focuses on foods that break down slowly and don't spike your blood sugar. I would also recommend swapping your B12 for a complete B complex. The metformin should help regulate your period within 3-4 months. And work out as much as you can! The benefit to weight loss is great, but believe me, you will be so glad if you get yourself in good physical condition before pregnancy. It can be really tough on the body.

Thanks a lot for the info, I will be headed back to rite aid for vitamins since there having a buy one get one free sale
I was thinkin about stopping the provera and let the metformin work on its own.
