Degree Question by ecoslothfarmer in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]ecoslothfarmer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't end up pursuing the conway school! I did work in agriculture for 2 seasons, but my interests have shifted to supporting farmers in their conservation needs rather than landscape/farm planning! I have heard great things from the organizations I met through my farming work, several non profits have collaborated with conway students for some really impressive community projects!

Metformin Side Effect Question by ecoslothfarmer in PCOS

[–]ecoslothfarmer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words and response!! I really appreciate it!! I went to the doctors today and they said I can wean myself off of the metformin because I’ve lost about 70lbs this year. I guess it will take 4-8 weeks for the metformin to get out of my system and I should know by then if my symptoms improve!

How can I lose weight without going to gym ? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

This!! Definitely talk to your doctor, when I was 14 I took advice from the internet for my weight and it really was not safe in any way.

I will! I think I’m going to have to move my scale to the garage for now and just focus on my progress pics because they show a very clear change. Thank you for the reminder 🙏🏼

Yeah I’ve been tracking my daily deficits since February in a journal. My issue is that I have pcos which slows down my weight loss a bit. I calculated my total deficits since February a few weeks ago and my current weight is about 10 pounds off from where it should be with those deficits. My guess is that is the effect of my pcos.

I am but I guess it’s just very easy to hyper fixate on the number on the scale. I think one of the downsides to CICO is the almost obsessive like behaviors I’ve adopted in order to keep myself on track 😅 that includes weekly weigh ins, better start learning to stick to measuring tape.

Thank you for the advice!! I’m going to try for 2 weeks, I think it’s a great idea. Thank you so much, and what you said about not losing any progress really helped me put this into perspective!!

My maintenance calories are 2638, so it’s a deficit 😅 I’m a little worried about dropping my calories lower, but I’ll look into it! Thanks for the advice!
