Hi I'm new here, it's therefore good to discover a spot with information and assistance. I'm a 3-6 year-old girl, with three kiddies 18, 1-5, and 8. I've been married just for about 18 years now. Nearly 6 years back, I was at 115 pounds and started to quickly gain weight for no obvious cause, no diet changes and no activity level changes. I've visited therefore many health practitioners I can't even count how many I've seen. I've finally found a great one, and been identified as having polycystic ovarian syndrome. Weight-gain is just one sign of numerous! Today I'm 230 pounds, and I've experienced induction for over a week now. So far so good. I've been on atkins before, for nearly 7 weeks and I dropped about 30 pounds. I struck a place where the weight reduction ended and I became quite disappointed and stupidly stop the diet. I'm not in to candies, for many strange reason way before this weight-gain, I dropped my sweet tooth, I only couldn't eat several bite of ingredients like dessert o-r ice cream. Even though, I really do like pizzas, dinner, carrots, and breads. Recently for the very first time in my own life i started to desire milk also. Perhaps because I'm really deficient in vitamin D, which my Dr. is managing. I've had the opportunity to prevent drinking dairy thank goodness...lol. I know previously I've made excuses why I can eat high-carb meals, often postponing returning about the strategy, yet another pizza day... we don't have sufficient meat... but they certainly were reasons that brought me to achieve straight back all I'd dropped on atkins before plus 30 pounds. I'm going to return to work after 1-3 years to be a homemaker. I've to work nightshift, and I also am quite active in my own youngest daughters training, because of the truth he's in internet school, I work together with his teacher to make sure he's studying as he should.....which continues to be no issue. That's virtually an image of my entire life right now, I'm therefore sorry it's such an extended and dull article. It's therefore good to meet you all. And here's to a different no-carb day!!! -WatchingTheRainFall
