Not losing wt

most people retain water on their period anyways. unless you give in to the sweet tooth that it brings you should be okay. i actually lose weight on my period because your body burns more calories during the process. sorry about the pcos.

I have pcos too. I've lost 6 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks. It is possible! I haven't had soda since last November. I drink 8-10 glasses of h2o a day. I eat smaller meals every 3-4 hours and protein at every meal. For pcos it is very important to pair protein with any carb, per my nutritionist's advice. I make sure to eat lots of fruit and veggies daily also.

Well first of all, please don't lose heart. You are doing so well to stick with it for 2 months and you've lost weight! I know it must feel slow and frustrating, but it is in the right direction - and with PCOS, I think the less body fat you have, the fewer symptoms you have, so the more you lose, the more you are able to lose (if you see what I mean?)

It's easy for me to say, but you are doing all the right things to make you healthier. I think we fixate on the weight side of things, when actually, it's your all-round health that matters. You are getting stronger and healthier and the weight will look after itself if you stick to that.

Be proud of yourself and stay here. People will spur you on. Is there any way you can add a bit of weight training into your week? You only need some hand weights. That will make you start to change shape, even if the scale doesn't move much and that will make you feel better. I also think it does speed up your metabolism a bit.

Good luck. Hang in there and well done on your loss so far.

I have pcos as well- make sure you are watching your carb intake, also watch refined sugar, lots of water and portion control. Also, eating mostly clean as really helped me. Watch your sodium intake and cut out the processed food. Also, try adding a little sport in there, 45mins of tennis a week has bumped up my weight loss. Hope that helps a little, feel free to friend me or msg me if you have any questions! Good luck hon!

I'm really depressed, I have pcos and is difficult for me t loose wt. I have cut out soda, trying to count my calories, going for walks 3-4 times a week for 45 minutes for the last 2 months. I lost 3 pounds, got my period on Wednesday i checked my wt today and gained 3 pounds...

Since you have PCOS, you probably have insulin resistance too. I have had IR in the past, and I am pretty sure it is back. It took me 3 months of busting *kitten* in the gym to lose 7 pounds ( 90 minutes 3-4x a week). I cut my carbs from ~250g per day down to ~100g net per day...and have lost 19.2 pounds in about 3 1/2 months. Sounds to me like it would be more beneficial for you to make sure you limit your carbs.

Most women DO gain some weight with their period, but it goes away within a few days of finishing.

People will better be able to help you, if you make your diary public. You say you have cut out soda and are trying to count your calories. Are you counting them or not? I don't mean to sound cold but If you are not in a calorie deficit, you will not lose weight. End of story.

I have a thyroid disorder (it doesn't work anymore) and when I gave soda up completely I lost 10 lbs. I stayed at the same weight so I started this here counting my calories and all and have so far lost another 7 lbs in the last week.Everything I put in my mouth gets counted. So just keep trying your doing good, if I can do it you can too.

I don't have pcos...but I have a health disability also. The medicines I take ut on my unwanted weight. You just have to keep looking at the big picture. I was getting depressed b/c I only lost 3 pounds in about 3 weeks. I started drinking lots of water with lemon and fresh mint in it. That is like a cleanser. It is helping me with my weight lose and doesn't cost as much as the cleansing products they sell. I am also taking B-12. Hopefully try that and it will give you some results that your looking for. Don't fight into the temptation! Good Luck!
