I have PCOS too, its so much harder for us to loose weight than our non-pcos counterparts, I completely understand your frustration but remember it can be done. Its going to take longer, I have't lost a single pound in 2 weeks and I've been doing everything right, my body is just stubborn, but I just see it this way ... everyday I eat well, exercise and stay away from junk food I've reached a goal ... in the long run I know it will pay off.0

I have PCOS. I do lose a little but it comes back really easily. So every time someone's like, oh it's just a cookie, you won't gain weight, I'm like "Oh, really?"0

I have PCOS and honestly I had to do like 1000-1100 calories the first 4 months to lose anything!!! I lost 4 pounds a month that way
BUT,
The Problem with eating only 1100, is maintaining that little bit of calories long enough to lose weight...
It takes A LOT of self control.
I did good the first few months but after that I NEEDED to EAT more than what I was ...
and NOW I cant bring myself back to eating that little.
now I am at 1200-1500 for the past 3 months and have lost 3 pounds.
slowly but surely it will continue to come off... with good foods and exercise.
I have had to cut back my carbs from what MFP suggested.
Also since my endometrial ablation surgery ( had to have it done) Ive had to take a water pill or 2 a day to help with water weight.
there ARE groups on here for PCOS...
hope this helped some.
*as an edit* I lost a few pounds before coming to MFP thus the 27 pounds loss on my ticker*0 -
I have the same issue with PCOS. Don't lose hope, just keep at it and you will see results.0

Oh yes, you are certainly not alone. Lots of us on here and lots of us frustrated. I did want to suggest really looking into the Metformin before getting on it. I went to a really lousy OBGYN who basically belittled me into taking it because she said I was too fat to get pregnant, have a healthy pregnancy, and deliver the baby. (Needless to say I have a new wonderful doc) She prescribed Metformin and yes I did lose weight, but it aggravated my liver and I ended up with a cyst and lots of testing. It ended up causing more trouble than it was worth, especially since I gained all the weight back and then some due to the issues it caused. I'll admit that I'm a special case but you never know when you get to be the special case.0
