Hi,
I'm 21 and I was diagnosed with PCOS in January after suspecting i had it for a good couple of years. It took the doctor ages to acknowledge i was having problems (absent periods for 6 months at a time, weight gain, mood swings, excess hair, you know all the nice stuff) and even when i was diagnosed i was given no advice/ direction.
My aim is to shift 62 lbs (57 to go!) but it's not coming as easily as i had a hoped even though im exercising my *kitten* off and eating well. Any info about PCOS and weightloss, success stories, etc.
Would be greatly appreciated. Kinda feel like my doctor has left me in the dark here.
