PCOS sufferers!

recently diagnosed. still tryin to get a good plan going. kinda lost feel free to add me....if u do please put wherre u found me at aka this board

I also have PCOS. Was diagnosed 1 year before I found out I was pregnant. My OB told me the likelihood I would get pregnant without fertility treatments was "slim to none." Yeah.... Exactly one year later, I was unexpectedly pregnant 1 month after stopping birth control pills. Shortly after my son was born in 2012, my testosterone level was up around 70s. Just had it checked last month and it was 30! The low threshold was 17 for my lab with a high of 70, so pretty good in my opinion! I do quite a bit of cardio because I love it, but am also doing weights. Just got a power rack! I am on metformin and take a few vitamins also. Have lost 55 lbs total to date. Feel free to add me!

yep...ditto...PCOS is a b*tch...feel free to add me!

Same here, feel free to add me as well!

I also have pcos and am having major trouble losing weight looking for motivation add me of you like.

Another PCOS'er here - My RE Dr told me if it walked, swam or grew on the earth, it's okay to eat. If it comes in a vacuum sealed package, don't eat it. If I listen to those words, I lose weight but you know, it seems carbs and I just love to be friendly! Feel free to add me! We'll take this journey together!

That's very funny. I've never heard it phrased quite that way before! :happy: :happy:

Hello Cysters!!! I am 32 yrs old from Puyallup, WA (WA State, that is), and I have suffered from PCOS since I was about 15. I wasn't diagnosed until about 7 yrs ago, but I had battled for so long that it was a blessing to find out what was going on and that I wasn't alone. Some days, I still get frustrated with my disorder because of what it has done to my body. I use to feel abnormal, but I finally got to the point this past year that I decided to NOT let PCOS run my life. I am now embarking on my weightloss and fitness journey. It's tough at times because some weeks the scale doesn't budge. But when I stick with it, the scale eventually gives and I lose a pound or two (or more sometimes). I started on Weight Watchers and it really helped me to realize that I could eat the foods I liked as long as I watched my portion sizes and calories. I still track my points as I have a 3 month subscription, but after my subscription runs out, I will be tracking only in MFP. I use to do the low carb thing, but I have to have some carbs or else my sugar levels crash (I think the metformin has something to do with it). I am determined to beat this weight issue and keep my PCOS in check. I WILL NOT FAIL!! ...... Feel free to add me, would love to get to know you all!

Diagnosed about 2 years ago! Trying to lose weight again, more this time, and keep it off. Add me!

I have not been diagnosed, but both my doctor and my gynecologist have mentioned it as a possibility. Please feel free to add me

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 14 and since then, it's ruled me. I've tried "being happy with what God gave me", but I just cant be anymore. I'm getting to the age where I'm wanting to start my family and PCOS wont let me do that, until I lose weight. It's so difficult because I love my pastas and breads, and I'm one of those chicks that likes something sweet after something salty Any advice from you ladies would be fantastic so I can get back on track and get the weight off. I'm tired of letting it dictate my life and have to wonder if I'll ever be able to have the family I desire so much. So any advice/support y'all can give, would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to add me on here and we can help each other through our difficult process!
