I am in I am starting clomid this cycle and want to get all around healthier plus I agree the weight I have gained since my health took a dive would be nice

Day one cidekmat. We can do it!! So, what are some of the foods we are supposed to avoid with endo? I need to buy a book!!

I just joined WW yesterday, it worked for me before, I am just not great with the maintenance aspect (hee hee). My goal is to lose 10 to 15 pounds and to slowly begin working out till I can work out 2 times a week for 30 to 45 minutes. I haven't done that in soooooo long because of the back pain. How about you?

well I hope to get myself back in the groove of jogging again I went out last week but then of course pms and all that lovely stuff took a lot out of me.. I am really going to try to stay away from hi empty carbs like white bread and pasta, as well as all the refined sugars except maybe today its hot and AF takes over my cravings when she visits ice cream sounnds soo good. I down loaded an app on my smart phone called "myfitnesspal" you should look into it you set it up how much you weigh want to lose and exercise amount and then it will calculated how many calories you are allowed to consume a day you enter your foods and exercise in it to keep track what you ate what you burned etc.. I find it helps because if say you are craving a blizzard from dairy queen you have example 1200 calories allowed a day type in blizzard and it gives you a list a small reese's peanut butter cup blizzard is 530 CALORIES!!! and even if i can get myself out to walk every other day to work up to jogging again, but I did pull out my roller blades so might take them for a spin

Me and my husband are going to slowly start a diet starting tomorrow. He has been complaining of his gut so vowed to start making healthier dinners. I did the endo diet and felt worse. So I think this time around ill try just more raw foods. Not necessarily a strict diet.

Ive done my fitness pal as well as my husband. He loved it I wasn't so committed.

As far as exercise, not sure. Hard to exercise with all this pain. Maybe yoga to start? But when would I do that with 3 little boys?

The endo diet has done wonders with me! No gluten and no dairy. I do slip with the sugar and the caffeine!

I looked at the endo diet and was in shock: no red meat, no gluten, no honey, no soda, no...everything.
I don't know, sounds too restrictive to me.
The endo association president told me about some tests which help pinpoint food triggers, I need to dig up her advice because I don't see the point on being that restrictive.
Day 3 of diet, today I feel less hungry!

endo diet seems very interesting but i'm sorry theres no way i could do it :( for example, i could not give up red meat. i wasn't eating red meat for awhile, and my iron levels were sooo low (I'm anemic), then i started eating it and voila i'm up to a normal person level. haha.

i do want to remember that i need to eat healthy. i wouldn't mind slimming down a bit. remember lots of water!

i am fully in for this diet i have been thinking about it for the past 2 weeks but i dont know any one eles who suffers with endo even though my husband supports and helps me through the pain its sometimes not enough i hope this diet can make me feel like a person agian

I just chopped up a watermelon. Now if only I could get my tushy off the couch and work out....

Our diet isn't going as well as planned. It starts as a healthy dinner and my husband throws in something bad. Haha and I eat bad while hes at work.

Saw pain specialist today and he said I dint think you have endo I think its anxiety. Ugh! So I'm pretty much on my own now.

I am selling advocare products now. (NOT TRYING TO SELL just sharing information.) And they have products I think might help with some of my symptoms. Going to try that! I have tried Spark and it helped with my energy. I could get up and clean and go go go all day without having to take breaks. And its sugar free. So that compared to soda I'm used to probably helps. Will let you know what seems to work. A lot that they sell can be bought in other brands at grocery store or GNC. Again dint want you to think I'm trying to sell.

anyone doing the diet, can you give some food tips and stuff, im going to start on the 15th and if it helps im going to continue it, but im lost on what foods to eat

@ brookb if you are talking about the endo diet check out the web site endo resolved but below is just a summary of it:






increase omega-3 fatty acids
avoid meat, dairy products, wheat and sugar
increase fiber
modulate estrogen
avoid caffeine and alcohol
avoid refined foods, e-numbers, additives
minimize or avoid soy products as they contain high levels of phytoestrogens, and soy contains a particular toxin which seems to be particularly detrimental for women with Endometriosis
peel fruit and vegetables to remove toxic chemicals
eat organic produce wherever possible
drink lots of filtered or mineral water

ok thank you

cidekmat, it's red meat, right? not just meat...
