Weight loss with PCOS

I too have PCOS, i found out yesterday! This message board is very inspiring to me! Im so happy to know im not alone! I found out a lot of interesting tips, like eating like a diabetic. Thanks!

Thanks for joining us!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I have been away. Everything has ben hectic and I have been stress eating. I have calmed down in the last day or two though thank goodness.. I took pictures of myself and gave myself motivation and I also bought a 14/16 Lane Bryant knit top I need to finish working my way into, super vintage and cute! How do you guys motivate yourselves through things like this?

Welcome I am glad this is very inspiring. I think many people do not understand what PCOS actually is and what he can mean for our minds and bodies. I am like that I have people to talk to about this!

I am not sure if anyone reads this thread anymore. I know I started this up. It has been 2 years. As soon as I started this thread, November 11, 2012 my mom was killed in a car wreck and I have not been back on since. I am sorry you guys. I am back again though, I need to diet and change my life for the better. I am trying a new diet which is known as the Ketogenic diet and it is suppose to help women with PCOS. I am trying to adjust my carb intake to 50 grams or less per day, slowly but surely I am getting there, give or take. I hope everyone is well and I would like to get this going again. Thank you all so much for the responses!

Yay! I still need to buy a scale to track my progress. lol

I am glad you are here too!! If you ever have any questions just post and ill help or anyone else will help as much as possible! I have been diagnosed for 6 years now.

well, the last two days my carb intake went from 50ish to over 100 and i can tell. I have plantar fascitis and i have noticed anytime i go over it hurts. I also researched low carb diet helps PF so I understand why now. I really need to wean myself down, anyone who is doing low carb, any advice??? Thanks

Hey, This is Whitney who also suffers PCOS and she is bringing it to light now. Maybe people can understand more about this condition! Plus, she is from my area, she use to be a producer at a local radio station. Check it out!

Hello, I wanted to give an update on my PCOS. I have been to the doctor twice in a month, going back again on the 26th. My labs are showing high adrenal output at 1200, high liver enzymes, hyperglycemia and there is a couple more. My weight is around my abdominal area and in my face. The doctor thinks that I may have a tumor on my ovary or ovaries causing these symptoms. Tumor and cysts are different. The PCOS could be masking the tumor which is causing the PCOS to be more aggressive. The other symptoms I have is no period (no period for 1.5 years, just got it with some pills she gave me, it isn't BC though.) ..increase in hair, lower abdominal pain (dull ache sometimes), back pain (comes and goes) and acne (not as bad here lately, I treat it with tea tree oil). My blood pressure is stable, last time it read at 104/68, it has always been normal. I have been working out almost every day, I don't eat over my calorie limit, if I do it is rare. So this could explain a lot of things for me. I have also been on water pills because of the water retention. I go back March 26th for an ultrasound and follow-up the same day to come up with a plan. If you experience any of these symptoms or have the same abnormal labs ..do something. The doctor I previously had NEVER told me my adrenal output was significantly high, this is not good!!! I will update once I go back.
