    I too have PCOS. A lower carbohydrate diet helped me tremendously in controlling my insulin levels. Feel free to message me.

    I also have PCOS and have struggled with my weight my whole life. I got all the way to 304lbs when I decided to do something about it. I started with making healthy swaps like whole grains instead of white rice, pastas or breads and water instead of soda. I tried also getting snack bags and portioning out healthy snacks like seeds and nuts with dried fruits. But the thing that worked for me was counting calories. It's a pain in the butt to measure and portion all your meals but it did help me drop 71lbs. I'll add you and feel free to ask me anything. Good luck on your journey!

    I have PCOS as well. It can make things difficult. Sometimes it seems like the scale is never gonna budge. I know that it's hard when family doesn't understand. In the end, you have to make sure that you're making the right choices for you. Work on getting yourself happy and healthy, then worry about possible infertility problems when you get to them.

    Woo Woo PCOS. There are a couple of amazing support groups on MFP, OP. Look into joining those. Also, feel free to add me. I've been fortunate in that I don't have to eliminate anything from my diet and I've been able to see steady and relatively consistent weight loss. I'm just waiting for the day I give up taking bread and rice to my face. :neutral:
