I forgot to mention... I'm overweight and I went to the gynecologist and she had me get a blood test. It turned out I had insulin resistance. Because of the insulin problem, I had a disorder called "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome", high cholesterol, uneven hormone levels, and irregular and missed periods. Right now she just has me avoiding high fat foods, red meat, and I have to exercise for 30 minutes a day. If that doesn't help me lose any weight, she said she'd give me a pill to help. I'm very glad I went. I've lost 7lbs in the last 3 weeks.
