Re: Anyone have PCOS?
I have PCOS and have had little success in dieting. I just wanted to wish you some good luck!
Try posting this on LIFamilies TTC, parenting, or pregnancy board. They might have more info.

Re: Anyone have PCOS?
I was just diagnosed as insulin-resistant/pre-diabetes with probable PCOS. They cannot do a true test for PCOS because I have been on the pill for years. I have had a rough time with dieting! Best of luck to you and FM anytime you want!

Re: Anyone have PCOS?
first i am sorry to hear about the diagnosis - unfortunately i have also had little success at weight loss because of the pcos. hear the cysters roar is a fun group of PCOSers - lots of good info too. one of my drs had me on a medication cocktail for the pcos a few years ago and while i did loose 25 lbs i also had alot of my hair fall out from the meds. my nutritionist and my drs think it is better to try to keep a stable weight than going up and down - my Pcos brought on another condition called intercranial hypertension and it is much worse than the PCOS - just be careful. your best bet is to listen to what your dr tells you and try not focusing on your weight. if you need someone to talk to or need to vent fm me anytime.

Re: Anyone have PCOS?
I have PCOS also. I've tried low carbing, weight watchers, you name it... unfortunately nothing seems to help. Anyone who's had any success, I'd love to hear your secret too!

Re: Anyone have PCOS?
Congratulations! That's awesome! I have PCOS also, and go to an endocrinologist, and can completely understand how hard it is to lose weight. Did you follow a specific diet, or just changed habits on your own?

no i basically had to change around what i was eating COMPLETELY!!! For me my diet consisted odf 90% carbs and 10% everythign else- i was really bad
but its comng off slowly!
I also go to a endocrinologist- shes got me on metformin which I gotta take every day ( but i dont remember a lot of the time!! )
