One last thing, to be completely honest right now I am not really comfortable doing things that aren't on machines (sad I know but at least I'm doing something) here is a list of the machines in gym if that helps to maybe suggest. I like doing cardio and some strength on one day as some days I will...

I wanted to say that I have PCOS as well and I haven't heard of glucophage being used, but I have heard of metformin being used. Metformin is a diabetic medicine but it also has offlabel uses for weight loss. This wouldn't be prescribed unless you had high levels of insulin (not nesc diabetes, just...

Scott Hey thanks for the suggestion, I will ask the gym on Monday if they have pre-made logs. I trie...
