GT support group: TTC who are PCOS and wants to lose weight

[anne01]

hi mga sis..

we all know naman na most PCOS are overweight or obese and nag-i-increase ang chances natin to be conceived kapag nakapag lose tayo at least 10%-20% ng weight natin diba..

let's support each other so we could do it and learn from one another what kind of diet we use.. ive read na maganda raw ang atkins diet.. or low carb diet..

2 weeks ago i started dieting and exercising.. i only eat 1-2 cups of rice a day.. no rice sa gabi or crackers/cereal/sandwich lang kapag gabi after 7pm as in wala na except for water... i exercise at least 30 mins-1hr everyday..  last november i weigh 182 lbs.. now i weigh 164 lbs.. overweight pa rin.. so gusto ko parin mag lose.. mga 20-40 lbs more.. that is the time na normal na BMI ko.. my height is only 5'3"... i use TURBOJAM pala for cardio.. it is fun..

every wednesday ang pag weigh ko... so next wednesday i hope to lose at least 2-5lbs.. sabi nila ang healthy way to lose weight is 2lbs a week lang.. so 8lbs a month lang.. not bad.. kaya lang parang di pa halata yun... hahahahaha..

i ate 1 banana, 2 hotdogs, 1 egg and 2 bread for breakfast, 1/2cup rice and chopsuey for lunch and fresh strawberries, i am guilty of eating 1 chocolate mallows (60 cal. lang naman ehh) today... and i ate skyflakes and/or banana whenever i feel hungry...

and i found this article.. alternative treatment for PCOS..

(i hope sana okay lang sa admin na dito tong topic na to)


baby dust to all!!

plus... anyone who are successful na na-preggy when they lost weight??

[anne01]

she also prescribed me with yasmin or dianne pills and metformin on the 1st day of my period, be taken for 3 months. after 3 months, need t0 have a TVU to check if na rule out PCOS. hope this will help me loose some weight and get pregnant.

if not need na tlaga ng dibdibang work up with clomid...

[simply_wife]

hi sisses!

take din ako ng duphaston last 3 months and dec take me clomid 1 cycle lang pero d successful e. when i came back to my OB she prescribed me to take yasmin or diane35 for 3 months with metformin and vitamins, take them on the 1st day of my next period..hahay!

wait ko nalng AF ko to start na, i am hoping and praying that this will help me get pregnant...

May God bless us all with a healthy babies...

[anne01]

good am mga sisters!!

@elsiepira
3x a day ko take metformin 500 mg after meals.. bakit ka kaya wala metformin?? usually kasi yun ang pinapa-take... hirap naman mag self prescribe.. ask your ob kung pwede...

@simply_wife
maraming nagsasabi after taking pills nabubuntis talaga sila.. yung sister in law ng friend ko ganon eh.. pcos din.. pero may baby na... sana tayo din.. di kasi ni-rerecommend pa ni ob... anyways, 1st cycle ko rin this march ng clomid (for this year ha... i stopped after 5 cycles last year)
hopefully it would work...

mga sisters... do you still exercise? or light lang... i am planning to stop kapag naka-AF nako.. or after af??? kasi baka pag super intense ng exercise kase sa mabuo.. mas lalo hindi... so i am thinking...

[simply_wife]

@anne01
hopefully talaga sis, sana nga lang maging hiyang me, actually dati pa ako advised to take pills but i am hesitant kc TTC nga tapos inom pa pills, maybe siguro my prev OB did not explain it well to me..

sana this time magwork na..

babies for us TTCs.. In Jesus name.

baby dust to us..

[anne01]

sis elsiepira

try mo eat vegetables before eating you regular meal para you feel full na... tapos drink 1-2 glasses of water before eating.. eat 5-6 times small meals rather than 2-3 times full meal.. para bumilis ang metabolism mo.. nag lose ako ng 10 lbs by just doing that.. as in without exercise... right now for breakfast and dinner i only eat cereal or oatmeal or sotanghon (lucky me lite sotanghon around 125 cal lang per pack yun but with cabbage) for lunch i eat whatever dish we have and 1/2-1 cup of brown rice... i eat cabbage soup (cabbage, carrots, onion leaks, bell pepper, 1/2-1 chicken cubes) i prepare it every morning and i will eat it before i eat my meal... para good source of fiber diba and youll feel full na... .. if i get hungry, i will toast 1 slice wheat bread and i make my own chicken or tuna sandwich spread plus 1 fruit... healthy siya diba.. kesa sa kung [textspeak!]-ano food ang kainin mo like chips or chocolates or cake...

if you want some recipes about the sandwich spread i make just ask so i will post it here too... kasi i believe we could lose weight without starving ourselves... i lost 24 lbs already.. i hope more to come...

plus i do regular sit ups every morning and afternoon..

drink plenty of water!!!

[simply_wife]

wow sis anne01! galing mo naman.. full of discipline, sana ako din...

please share naman your recipes for the sandwich spread and cabbage soap
so we could try it.. hopefully.. 

thanks in advance!

[anne01]

@simply wife
for cabbage soup ginaya ko lang yung sa cabbage soup diet.. may di lang ako sinali...
small head cabbage, 1 small bell pepper, 1-2 carrots, onion leaks, 1 stalk celery, 1/2-1 bouillon chicken cube, salt & pepper to taste, water.. yun lang (di ako naglagay ng tomatoes kasi parang maasim eh, soup mix kasi sobrang alat na (taas din sa uric acid nun), mushroom kasi feeling ko di bagay) -- that's it...

kung ayaw nyo ng soup... pwede nyo siya i-saute.. parang stir-fry vegetables.. same ingredients just omit the chicken cubes...  but add mushrooms and 1 tbsp oyster sauce.. use canola oil pag ginisa nyo na yung onion and garlic if you wish para healthy pa rin... you can add spinach or water crest (kangkong) even fried tofu.. if you wish!!!  then add slurry (water and cornstarch).. super yummy niyan!!!   

for my spread...
you can use... chicken (boiled in water and pinch of salt) or canned tuna (in water)-- shredded or cubed, 1 can crushed pineapple, shredded cabbage and carrots, onion (optional), salt&pepper to taste, 1 sweetener (i use splenda), 1 soy based cream (nestle cream lite), 1-2 tbsp low fat mayo (10 cal lang siya per tbsp.). just mix it in a bowl... that's it...

when you eat it.. toast the bread, put iceberg lettuce, cucumber clices then put the spread... if you wish you can put some cheese... use parmesan cheese po 25 cal lang sya per tbsp but dont put the whole tablespoon of cheese ha.. yung vegetables are important para you'll feel full na for 1 sandwich lang...


happy day to all!!!

[simply_wife]

tnx for posting that  sis anne01!

i'll try to do that...

Baby dust for all of us! God bless!
