    Hi-
    I started out getting on metformin for pcos. The first week without any diet change I lost about 7lbs. After I started a low carb diet. I got rid of breads,soda and all processed junk . I try and drink 8-10cups of water daily. Along with diet change i try and fit cardio in everyday. Id be lieing if i said it was a breeze losing 95lbs,it's hard work but its rewarding. It also helps when you surround yourself with positive people.

    I know the struggle of losing weight with pcos I've tried other diets in the past that never really worked for me but low carb has really helped me shed the pounds.

    So many cals did you do roughly ? Did you eat a lot during the day or not so much ?
    So you did no carb or just low carb ?

    Hi
    I was put on 2100 but i never came close to hitting that. Most days i stay around 1300 calories. It varies...after the first few weeks you dont feel as hungry. Between the protein and water you feel stuffed! I did low carb i was eating about 20carbs a day but my dr had me increase it to 75-100carbs daily.i still lost weight weekly. If im not losing for a few days i just lower my carbs.
