Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Hi Jess-- Thanks for sharing your story with us. Posting about problems takes a lot of courage and I give you lots of credit. You should feel very proud of the 21 lbs. you have lost. That is terrific! I agree that walking is so much easier with a buddy. There is some magical element in being " there " for the other person as to not let them down. However, I find it is harder to make the exact same committment to myself. For me, I think it is due to long having considered myself NOT as important as others. (Anyone follow me here?) Although I am not aware of your schedules/conflicts, would it be possible for you and your fiance to go walking together? Even if it can only be fit in once a week....hopefully, more. Do you like walking to music...I find it makes me feel less alone and gives me a good beat to " zone out " to. I've heard of many people who have experienced PCOS. It is through Gastric Bypass that I learned of women who suffer from this. I've heard success stories of people no longer having PCOS after surgery and weight loss. OK, confession time: On Labor Day, I spent the day with my good friends, Ben and Jerry. I lounged on the couch and for some reason decided to have a pity party for myself. I'm still racking my brain trying to figure out the motives behind my behavior. This is quite perplexing, as I am SO HAPPY right now. Happier than I have EVER been in my life. However, obviously, there is something going on that caused me to fall off the wagon on Monday. After reading your cake batter story, I felt the need to come clean with you and the group as well. We all make mistakes and we all have the ability to learn from them. Best of luck Jess and I hope you are feeling better than when you posted, --a (wh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 PCOS is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or the inability to ovulate. Here's a website that explains it in more detail... http://www.ivf-et.com/pcosstate.html Re: Re: hi all What is PCOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi all, I have been around, but haven't had time to post. From March to the end of June, my weight dropped off like crazy. In July, it was a bit slower, but I still took off weight. I had 44 lbs off when I left for camp on Aug 8 and was wearing size 2X top and pants. I went to camp, brought my own SBD foods, ate them for every meal other than the two planned " cheats " I had allowed myself--Mexican dinner night and soft pretzel snack night. I sat in the 100 degree heat all afternoon as the craft director. I drank lots of water and Crystal Light. I came back to find that I had gained 6 pounds! I have no idea how. The next week, we did day trips and it was harder to eat right, so a few times I had to eat things not on SBD, such as having a slice of pizza one night. At the end of the week, I had stayed the same. The next week, I did SBD phase 2 and lost 6 pounds. Last week, I stayed the same. I'm back on phase 1 this week, since I never did that since I got back. I weigh the same now as I did when I left for camp--44 lbs off. But, I am down to a 1X in pants and an XL in tops, even tho my weight loss is the same. ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
