Excellent article from WebMD which explains how PCOS affects weight gain, testosterone production, and even susceptibility to diabetes. We won't let PCOS be the excuse to remain overweight; on the contrary, having PCOS increases our urgency to lose and maintain a healthy weight. Note the article says that losing 10% of your weight can help your periods go back to normal AND alleviate some of the other unfortunate symptoms of PCOS.

Read away!

    So very true, after dieting for 2 months I started getting my periods back in March of 2011. They have been stable since then, praise the Lord. In October I started exercising and have dropped more.
