Ever since I have been diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and the doctor put me on metformin I am so tired.  I can barely function at work.  I just want to sleep all the time.  I did some research on the internet, and found that I could be low in Vitamin B, so I started taking a Vitamin B Complex.  It has helped a little but not much.  Anyone experience this problem???  I am so tired of not having the energy to do anything. 

I haven’t been on in awhile, but I’m doing good.  I have lost 6lbs since the last time I logged on.  I am excited, because I got a wii fit for christmas.  I have begun doing the exercises on it and feel really pumped.  I am hoping I can stick with it!!!

I haven’t felt good the last week and this week isn’t starting off any better.  I am so nauseated and tired.  Anyone with PCOS experience that when first starting to take Metformin???  I am also wondering if it doesn’t have to do something with my birth control I was put on.  I am on my last week of pills (21 day supply), but I started cramping really bad last week and started Tuesday and haven’t stopped.  I know I should call my doctor, but I don’t want to seem like a hypochondriac. 

It’s been a tough week, but I need to get back on track.  I haven’t felt good all week, but I think I just need some time to relax.  I don’t know.  I wish there was a good time in the day I could exercise!!!  I try to get up in the morning, but I am so tired.  Nighttime if I were to exercise, wouldn’t be until 10:00 or after.  I need more time for myself, but my husband isn’t very supportive so he makes no effort to help free up some of my time, even though he gets to go do things he wants to do all the time.  I’m just frustrated and crabby. 

I’m feeling a little better today.  I figured out my problem, for some reason Aunty flo came to visit me 2 weeks early.  The doctor said my body would be really screwed up for the first couple of months, but if I could get by these next couple of months, things would get better.  Today I am nauseated, but I can handle that if I know things will get better.  I haven’t done much exercising this week, but I have been watching what I eat.  Busy day, hope it stops raining!!!

I know the doctor told me it would take time getting used to this medicine and I would have good days and bad days, but the last couple of days have not been fun.  I just want to sleep!!!  I am trying to keep a positive attitude!!!  I am hoping when I get home tonight I will feel better and feel like exercising.  We will see.  I am not going to push it, but I’m not going to let this get me down either!!! 

I don’t know what the deal is today, but I am having some very uncomfortable lower abdominal cramping.  I don’t know if it is the new birth control the doctor put me on or because I started taking Metformin twice a day, but I’m miserable today.  I am trying to work through the cramping, but it won’t go away.  I have figured out that on Monday and Friday I don’t have to get up early to exercise!!!  I can wait till after I get off work, so I am excited about that.  I have been really watching what I eat, but it’s really hard, when your income is so limited!  I lost 1.5 lbs this week!!!  If I could just do that every week, it will be wonderful!!! 

I am so tired of having to get up at 5:00 in the morning to exercise, but unfortunately my schedule doesn’t permit any other time.  YUCK!!!  Okay I am done complaining!!!  I feel pretty good today.  Yesterday was a good day food wise.  I have been depressed because the doctors have put me on a very specific diet and I was really missing some of my normal everyday foods.  But thanks to individuals on here and watching the TV show Cooking yourself thin, I have found alternatives!!! to my favorite foods!!!!!  I am just worried that I won’t be able to find some of the ingredients around here.  I live in a very rural area where you can’t always find the things you need, which can be very frustrating!!!  But I think when I go to St. Louis to visit my best friend I will stock up on some of these things.  The scale was a little down this morning.  I can’t wait to see what I weigh on Sunday.  Looking forward to feeling better and not squeezing into my clothes anymore!!!

I have the day off today, because of Veteran’s Day.  First and foremost I am thankful for all the men & women who have laid down their life for our freedom.  I am going to do the Biggest Loser boot camp today probably here in just a couple of minutes.  I am feeling very positive thanks to a post a posted yesterday and the reply I got.  If you are constantly hungry and looking for ways to cut the calories go to hungrygirl.com  I have been trying to figure out how I am going to do this and a very wonderful person on here referred me to this website.  I am really excited now, and don’t feel like I am dieting!!!  Can’t wait to start feeling good!!!

I need help.  I have been put on a diabetic diet.  I am craving something sweet, but not really sure what I can have?  Any ideas???  Also, I need more protein in my diet, but need to watch how much fat I get also.  Any ideas on some healthy protein snacks that I could have.  I have been eating peanuts & cranberries, string cheese, and yogurt with fruit.  Could use some help.  Thanks!
