Well I'm starting a low gi diet tomorrow (got my shopping list ready!) and I'm going to be making meal plans and putting reminders on my phone of when today. Ie, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, tea but all healthy of course! Gonna try and go tot he gym/swimming or an exercise class everyday (maybe twice a day!). But my problem is motivation xxxxx

 

[MrsKrueger2B]

Motivation is my problem to!
I can't seem to want to get up and go do things, like a walk or jog or yoga.
Why cant they make a magic motivation pill?
But im curious about the low gi diet, What is it?

 

[laurabeth]

Well I have pcos and my specialist recommended it as I have trouble losing weight (due to the pcos) it's basically food low carbs/sugar. They recommend diabetics eat low gi food. You should google it for a proper understanding of it, but it's fab xxxx

That's partly why I want to lose weight, also to feel better in myself obviously too lol. Have you had clomid?

I'm on cycle 1 of 100mg as I didn't conceive on 3 cycles of 50mg, so hoping this is the cycle but I'm not going to get my hopes too high that way I won't be disappointed if it doesn't happen xxxx

 

[MrsKrueger2B]

No i have not,
But i am on 2,000 MG of metformin and it has helped me lose a good 30 pounds and i have my period every month. They are not regular but they are there and always within 1-2 weeks of when it is supposed to come!

 

[laurabeth]

Aw that's good. I'm on Clovis as we are TTC now as we feel we're ready (well we've been trying a year!) but nothing so far....hoping if I lose weight that might help? I weigh 159lbs at the moment but as I am so short my 'ideal' weight is about 126lbs....so I have a long way to go xxxx

 

[MrsKrueger2B]

Yeah,
we start in trying in October so im trying to get my body a bit smaller and healthyer!
But iv always been a chubby person so im not sure how small my body will allow me to be but its not only about losing the weight i just want to be healthy!

And I hope you fall pregnant soon
Baby dust and weight loss dust for you!

I seen a new PCP today and he kinda laughed at me when I told him that the metformin should help me lose weight but I have read so many posts that it does... I really hope that it helps me.

Weigh yourself frequently...

If you're hungry but its not mealtime, have a drink.. if you're still hungry 20 minutes later, eat

Chew gum! It really helped me!

I've lost almost 30lbs since being pregnant - Now at 8st4 x
