    An open diary would be handy. Reduce your carb intake to 100g if you have PCOS. If you lost nothing eating 1200 for 3 weeks you need to eat less and/or different.

    i find it hard 2 believe that u eat 1200k a day at 204lbs and have not lost weight. there is probably something that u r eating and not accounting for it. check for alcohol, juices, nuts,. are u using a food scale to verify how much u r eating? good luck

    I would also suggest measuring everything until you are absolutely clear that you are consuming what you believe you are eating... guessing at a correct serving of cereal probably means you are getting two or even three servings not one for example... The same applies to other foods as well. Measure twice cut once is an old contractor's motto... The same applies to building a new healthier you...

    thanks all - I can honestly say I weigh everything, because of my thyroid and pcos issues I have been on the ball not to over eat. My breakfast is in packets so I dont need to weigh them, for lunch I only have soup again already weighed out and at night I weigh everything.
