    Rewind - Starting the right way

    Well a while has passed since I was on this board last. With a little more knowledge about my body, I hope to be able to actually lose weight and stay motivated. In the last few months I have been diagnosed with PCOS and put on Metaformin - that has made me extremely sick, It suppose to help regulate my insulin so I can lose weight. All it has done is make me to ill to do anything. So here I am, back to what I know works and a natural way of regulating my insulin. I have stopped taking the medication and am determined to show my doctor that I can accomplish losing weight with out it. Wish me look, I will utilize this board and stay motivated by seeing those who are fighting the fat.
    Starting over is never fun, but atleast I'm still fighting.

    Welcome back. The great thing is you know you can manage the PCOS with some practice. Good luck and hopefully you can get off the meds that are making you sick soon.

        Hey, Soldier Girl! Welcome!

        I also have PCOS and for a long time was on Metformin to manage the insulin. It also made me sick. Guess what? I'm off of it now! My doctor is very pleased with my progress and my sugar levels have definitely evened out! Everyone is different, so I'm not saying that you will definitely be able to change your meds, but many people who enjoy this WOE have been able to get off of their sugar meds.

        Good luck!

          Thank You guys for the support, getting off this medication is a motivator. I hate not having control of how I feel each day and this is know way to live. So slow and steady is the way for me. I will be starting up my journal here soon, I hope that will keep me on track. Writing down how I am doing each step of the way will remind me why I want to lose this weight. Thanks again hope to see you around the board.
