I make no predictions! Lol! I'll just keep going down this path till I have to make pit stops for new pants!
My favorite pants have been taken out of rotation because they are not staying on anymore. But the legs were made to hug so unless I lose the muscle in my legs I doubt I'll ever get one of those success pictures!1 -
I have been on this diet 81 days & am down 23 lbs, I too am PCOS. I no longer feel like I am dying everyday. I have the same level of energy as I had decades ago (before the diet I was sleeping and exhausted all the time). My husband is also liking this way of eating. When we are wiping bacon grease off our lips he always says "This doesn't even seem like a diet." Nope it doesn't.1

Everyone of you are doing great! I have PCOS and started LCHF a little under two months ago. I'm down 18.5 lbs. I didn't take pictures or measurements. I wish I had, because I don't see 18.5 lbs. lost. I'm 32, 5'3" and my starting weight was 172(obese) with a BMI of 30.5. My BMI is now 27.2 which is in the overweight category and I'm very happy about that. My next goal is a normal BMI. I'm 12.5 lbs. from reaching that goal.6

This is my 6th month doing low carb and the results have validated my decision...
1. down 10 lbs since July 7th (last dr's visit) - this was kinda slow because I wasn't watching calories as much as I should have over the summer...
2. had the best blood test results of my adult life with a total cholesterol reading in the 180's and triglycerides in the 130's (this was down from a total reading of 234 and above 160 on the DASH diet recommended by the dr)
3. I sleep MUCH better than I did before
4. I do not get hungry and sometimes have to force myself to eat
5. I have more energy and can do more sustained physical activity
6. my BG has dropped into the low eighties
7. haven't done measurements in awhile, but I know that my belt is getting longer
So all around good results!7
