I am back on Met now for about 6 weeks. I increased my dosage quickly, since I tolerate it pretty well ( my stomach of course gets upset once in a while), but I was on 2500 dosage for about 2 weeks before scale budged

I have on Met for about 3 weeks now (also for PCOS). It is my second time around, so I increased my dosage rapidly. Metformin makes your stomach sick. stay away from anything oily and melted cheese.

sometime I have bad reaction even on fresh vegetables, but it does get better overtime

Good luck

Hi, Sarah

I started CC a in the fall of last year, BEFORE being diagnosed with PCOS. and I was able to loose some weight. 

Since my diagnosis ( I also have extreme IR), I was not able to work out much. They also found endometriosis so I had hormonal therapy.

Overall since being diagnosed, I cut out rice ( I was eating a lot of it) and all other "bad' carbs.  My weight did not move. I went back and asked for Metformin. I have heard that many women with PCOS have lost weight on this medications, as it seems to normalize the body. This is not a diet pill, but for many PCOS women it often is.

I did not see my weight decreasing, but I know I think the stronger your IR the longer it takes to work.

 Here is good link for you

Well, it's been a couple weeks now, and markets around the world are tanking in panic because of the explosion of defaults in the US, much of which is due to consumers borrowing to maintain a middle-class lifestyle with stagnant income and years of soaring prices.

 

So is it still a Goldilocks economy Larry? Larry?

You there Larry?

 He is busy calculating inflation based on Plasma tv prices.

I know I cannot keep straight face when my hubby watches Kudlow show!!

If Kudlow creed is good in anythings, it's finding  irrelevant information and twisting it to fit their agenda.

Hi Kelli

 I am in the same boat as you are. I have been diagnosed with PCOS recently, I am  also VERY insulin resistant.

For years I have been gaining weight, and was not sure why. Granted, I was never very physically active, but I am not fast-food junkie either and thought my diet was not so bad.

I joined CC prior to being diagnosed and lost some weight, not as quickly as I would have hoped, but CC works even for gals like us.

Welcome to the site.

Amanda, I stumbled on your post and smiled.

I am married to an Indian for 4 years now and sort of went through similar experience. I met my-in-laws when we went to India.

Thought I put in my 2 cents.

If they are open to meeting you it's already great. I am sure your bf gave you good tips on how to impress them.  It's definatly all about you behave around him, his parents and even your family. 

Oh, and try not to wear pants/jeans for a while. Since I imagine you don't have any traditional Indian dress (you can buy online now days) try to stick with a dress at least when you are at home.

Second that, missreporter.

I have been to Buffet the other day. The only reason I go there is Seafood and I stay away anything fried.  

Just search Kheer in the receipes and find the one that's closes to what you make.

Or use recipe analyzer.. 

I concur, lorik
