A brilliant week - an incredible 6 months

lyndor90

Hi all! I don't post on here often, but I have been using MFP for 6 months religiously and have had much success!

I have lost 29kg/63lbs since August. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and have used diet, exercise and metformin to succeed. My BMI has gone from 35.3 to 25.5. My next major goal is another 2 kg and I am OFFICIALLY a "healthy" BMI.

This week I fitted in a UK/NZ size 10 dress (5ft 9/175cm and 79kg), and my husband was able to LIFT me. The latter of which reduced me to copious amounts of tears.

I have just ordered my new work uniform (size 10! Or small!) I am so excited about it arriving!

I am running a half marathon in June.

And everyone can do what I did! No doubt

I have PCOS also, so your post gives me hope. I have found my weight is coming off very slow. Has that been your experience?

Congratulations to you!

Woohoo another kiwi. Congratulations. I've only been going on this lifestyle since 11 February 2014 and I haven't lost a lot of weight compared to others but I have lost 7cm off my waist and 5cm off my hips so that's the motivation that keeps me going. Keep up the good work.

Are you on metformin? I find without it my weight loss slows, stops and then I gain weight on the same regime.
