    If anyone would like to add me.. I have fought PCOS since I was 13. Doctors have taken me off of meds now, and have been major cysts free for a year. It really is all about diet and exercise! I am here if you have any questions or need to vent. I know how hard it is.

    We just became friends! :) But I too have PCOS and losing weight is key ... especially for my dreams of having a family!

    My doctor recommended reading "The Insulin Resistance Diet", which I've found to be helpful - limit or balance carbs with protein. Metformin also helped quite a bit, but the first few weeks were really rough. Good luck!

    I'm 27 with PCOS and Metabolic Syndrome. I'm on glucophage and have been on and off for probably 5 years. It doesn't seem to make it any easier to lose weight for me. I also have hypothyroidism which doesn't help either. Anyone is free to add me if they'd like.

    I too have had PCOS for the past almost 8 years. I was on meds, off meds, and now am working on diet. I was very lucky to have had my daughter 12 years ago, but diet and weight is key if I ever want to have another one. My best advice is to look for things low on the glycemic index. Any of you can feel free to add me as a friend if you would like. I love having support in my lifestyle change adventure, and love helping others too. :smile:

    I am 32 with PCOS and was diagnosed at age 27. I'm mostly vegan (no animal proteins at all...no meat, dairy or eggs - started 3.5 weeks ago) and I'm currently on day 1 of my first juice fast. I've lost 22 pounds since 11/27 and since then have noticed a major difference in my cycle. Things are getting better the more weight I lose. I'm in it for the long haul now because weight loss surgery just isn't for me.

    I'm 28 and was diagnosed with PCOS about a year and a half ago. It's been quite a struggle, but I've come to terms with the fact that nothing will change unless I do something about it :) I would love to have some other people with PCOS to friend as well!

    Hi! I am 28... I have PCOS also... Now that I have had my baby (I have a 10 month old, which I had to endure tons of treatment to conceive), I am aiming to lose 35-38 pounds and get where I want to be and stay there...

    for us the biggest things are to stay away from fried foods, bread, and sugary drinks... anything with sugar.. I am now insulin resistant and in the fight of my life to keep away from Diabetes...
