    Hey! I have PCOS as well and have a hard time losing weight because of it! Also didn't help that I had to take fertility drugs to get pregnant, so now I have to drop all the weight

    It really means so much to me, just to know that I am not alone in the struggle! ! I may have to start fertility treatment as well but for now we have decided to wait until I can get the PCOS under control (as under control as it can get..lol)

    Hi ya'll! I have PCOS as well. I had lost 27 pounds using MFP diligently a year ago, eating as clean as possible, and exercising. I did not take Metformin but I plan on taking it now since I am trying to get pregnant and I heard it helps a lot (and it def helps in losing weight)! Add me as a friend if you'd like to keep in touch. I'm down to motivate each other as much as possible. I need to lose all the weight I lost plus a lot more. I do love my body and I am very body positive, but I have to get healthier and stronger!

    Hey, I have PCOS too and feel your pain regarding weight loss. It really is a hard slog but it is possible I'm sure. I have a long way to go to reach my goal, and I'd be happy to keep in touch along the way and keep each other accountable. I'll friend request you now
