Last time I saw Dr. W we decided I'd try it on my own and see how it goes. Here we are 2 months later and I've gained 3 pounds, had an anovulatory cycle (not unusual with pcos) and was so unmotivated and just lost.
I figured out that I need to keep seeing her. I need to have her hold me accountable. I need to weigh-in, tweak my diet and exercise and just talk with someone else.
I'm going to continue my 1,400 calorie a day diet based on the modified South Beach diet (I can add back in fruit and whole wheat bread/flour on occasion), interval training/exercising 4-5 times per week, the vitamin B shots along with a slew of other supplements and vitamins- including one specifically for pcos.
My next follow up appointment is July 5th. I'd really like to lose about 10lbs between now and then. If I can't, I'll be more than okay with whatever weight I've lost.
I'll update more often with new recipes, exercises and weight loss.
Thank you readers, for all of your support. You all are so awesome.
Don't forget to that often times you have to reach a plateau of weight for a while. Balance out your metabolism and then get up going again to loose additional weight. Our bodies aren't designed to just keep shedding pounds. They want to find a steady weight and stay there. You've done amazing so far and I know you'll continue to do so. Give yourself a little slack and remember how amazing you are.
