Hi everyone! I'm mid 30s, 5'1, 169 lbs, prediabetic and suspected but not diagnosed PCOS. Doctor has me on 500mg 1x daily metformin and I'm also taking an oral contraceptive and multivitamin.

I'm down 19lbs from my highest weight of 188lbs in about 6 months, but have been stuck at 168-169 for around 4 months now. I've been running and recently started biking, and just "graduated" from a c25k running program. I'm currently running 2 miles twice a week, and 3 kiles once a week, and biking 1-2 miles on the days in between. I'm focusing on cardiovascular health/endurance/reducing insulin resistance at the moment, just trying to get healthier. The cardio isn't for the purposes of weight loss but I'll take it if it helps. I haven't been lifting weights (no gyms locally and don't really have to room in my house for anything other than a few dumbbells). My legs are much more muscular since I've been running and biking.

Now that I'm in a routine with the running and biking, I need to address my food intake. I know weight loss occurs mostly in the kitchen. I love veggies, fruit, fish, etc, so I don't have any issue with eating healty foods, but I hate cooking and have a killer sweet tooth. I know I could easily drop at least another 10lbs fairly quickly if I cut out the snacking or replaced the chips and granola bars with raw veggies.

I tend to naturally do intermittent fasting. I don't do it intentionally, I've just never been a breakfast eater. Most of my food consumption happens between 1pm and 10pm, coinciding with my work schedule. The snacking happens mostly from 7pm to 10pm, between my lunch hour and the time I get out of work.

Anyone have any advice or ideas, or even experiences to share?
