I will delete all the comments with emails to protect the privacy of those who made the comment....

Just to give you guys a quick update, I have lost almost 30 pounds in the last couple of months and it is GREAT!

Crazy hormones

I weighted myself the other day that I said I was going to, and I was 189 pounds. After that day I have been misbehaving with Coke as I have been having really bad migraines and honestly, Coke is the only thing that take it away.

So, after all my cokes, I weight myself to see if I gain any weight, and not only I didnt gain any weight, but I lost 2 pounds!!!

I know, it's a good thing to lose 2 pounds, but how crazy my hormones are???????????????

Thanks....

Thanks to all of you that have keep coming even with my lack of updating.... We will weight in tomorrow, set new goals, start a new plan.... I feel like I weight more than the last time I weight in, but I feel that I have lost pounds in the last few days....

We will know tomorrow when we weight in.

This week

This has been a nice week for us, even though we havent even weight in... We promise to weight in tomorrow and see where we stand.

I know for sure that I wont be eating good today, as we have three events for my girls (Moving Up ceremony for my DD in Pre-K, Baptism for my youngest and birthday party for my youngest), and as we will be in event after after all day long, I really cant afford mentally to be worrying about anything else...

Overall, Im happy with my week, and I cant wait to get my ultrasound done.

PCOS?

The more I read about PCOS, the more Im sure that I have it.

Going over the symptoms from Medline Plus, here is what I have and what I dont have:

* Abnormal, irregular, or very light or infrequent menstrual periods
Mine are abnormal, irregular and infrequent, even though they are not light.

* Absent periods, usually (but not always) after having one or more normal menstrual periods during puberty (secondary amenorrhea)
I do have absent periods, but they have always been like that, and I started my period when I was 8.

* Acne that gets worse
Nope, not me.

* Decreased breast size
Nope!! I wish though.

* Development of male sex characteristics (virilization), such as increased body hair, facial hair, a deepening of the voice, male-pattern baldness, and enlargement of the clitorus.
From all, I have serious facil hair... Always have, but it is getting worse and worse... I need to get rid of it every 3 to 4 days.

* Diabetes
Not at all... Just did another Glucouse test, and I have it in 80 something.

* Increased hair growth; body hair may be in a male pattern
My hair does grow a lot, and my body have gotten so weird, that you can say that I have a male pattern.

* Infertility
I do, but because I have a tubal.... LOL... this question doesnt apply to me as I have three kids. It did took me 21 months to conceive my second daughter, though.

* Poor response to the hormone, insulin (insulin resistance), leading to a build-up of insulin in the blood
I have no idea.

* Weight gain, or obesity
BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now or Now!

What have we done since out last post: NOTHING.... Well, nothing will be actually a lie depending on your side of view... We have done NOTHING in order to lose weight, but we have done A LOT of stuff that we are not suppose to.

To start we have been drinking coke just TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! I wont buy another soda anymore. Today, I found myself with a "hole" in my blouse between two buttons, because the breasts are just too BIG.......... AF is not due any time soon, so it is not because of that.

Hubby is also in the same path, and I speak from both when I say: NO MORE.

I have been going to the OB to check WHY Im still leaking milk (gross, I know) after 8 months of weaning my youngter, why I havent been able to lose weight when I was fully committed, and why Im sweating so much. I know that any person that reads all this will say: "You have an hormonal problem". Well, I know that for sure, and my OB thinks the same thing, but we are doing our last try with an ultrasound. Prolactine came back low (which is the normal value) so it is not there the problem. If nothing is found in the ultraound, meaning that I dont have PCOS anymore, he will refer me to an specialist.

My last ultrasound was a couple of months after my youngter's birth, and it showed that I had PCOS. It is pretty funny how I got pregnant so fast with PCOS and birth control, but when I child is meant to be, it will come over any obstacles.

Here is a picture of my FAT-self from last week (BTW, Im wearing a maternity jeans... Shame on me!!)

Day 104 = We can do it!

That's it... Im so sick of not doing anything.... Im so sick of not finding the time to exercise, or that actually giving excuses when I know this is important for us...

Tomorrow we will sit down and talk about this seriously... We will make a schedule and we will follow it no matter what.. We will wait ourselves tomorrow, and we will get this GOING!

WE CAN DO IT!! WE CAN DO IT!!

Day 95 = What's wrong?

Our down and low moment was suppose to be a momentary thing but I dont what what is happening but I just cant find the time to exercise anymore...

Im not working outside of my house, plus my personal business, plus the house, the girls, my husband, 3 preschools, and I hardly have time to do ANYTHING...

We REALLY need to do something ASAP!!!!!!! It's mid April and we have hardly lost any weight... Buying cloth for my new job is a nightmare, because nothing fits!!!!! 1x is tight and 2x is huge.... There are some 1x that fits, but nothing appropriate for work!! It will be easier if I just loose this weight and start buying cloth in NORMAL sizes!!!!!!!

Day 81 = Down and low

After having a friend from overseas in my house for a week, I imagine we have gain a couple of pounds.... We were out and about so we were eating out and not the best things to eat... Also, I had one of my daughter's birthday party, and I also ate a lot..... Actually WE ate a lot because Ernesto was pigging out!!! Another thing we didnt do was exercise, and we still havent get back to our routine....

People keep telling us that we look skinier BUT I still feel the same.....

We are now back to the real life!!!!

Day 68 = GREAT NEWS!!

No, we havent lost 5 pounds each, and no, a millionarie didnt built a gym outside of my house, but THE TECH DID BRING MY FRIDGE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys have no idea how happy we are!!! After 2 months of using a mini fridge where nothing was fitting we finally have our fridge working in our kitchen!!! I will love to go food shopping today, but we are in the Holly Week in this country, and mostly everything will be closed until Sunday... But, Monday or Tuesday we will be filling out our fridge with HEALTHY FOOD!!!! We cant wait!!!!
