    OP, you are absolutely a success story and an inspiration to all of us dealing with PCOS. I also have PCOS and IR. I eat according to IPOARM, about 1800-2000/day. I lift heavy weights two or three times weekly, and swing my kettlebell the other couple days.

    I've lost a total of 85 lbs, but 55 of that has been since July 2012, when I started eating correctly.

    I do have to watch my carbs at this point...I have blood sugar issues, as I said. But I have noticed a great deal of progress since changing what I eat and lifting heavy weights. My hormones seem to be balancing out, slowly but surely. My cycles are pretty much normal these days. Moods are much more even, acne is GONE. I am able to lose weight...

    I want to say that there are indeed women out there with both PCOS AND IR who are doing things differently and having great results without resulting to a 1200 calorie diet and cardio.

    For those who are interested in PCOS and healing, there's a woman named Amber who blogs under the name "Go Kaleo". She's got a blog, a Facebook fan page, and has just started a group on Facebook as well. She was obese and had PCOS. She now EATS ALL THE FOOD, around 3,000 calories/day, I believe....lifts heavy, and is very active.
