i feel like there might be something wrong with me. I exercise daily, I eat healthy, I drink plenty of water but the weight is stubborn and will not come off! I have tried everything but nothing works...
Does anybody here suffer with PCOS? I am displaying similar symptoms (like the weight gain, extremely irregular periods-haven't had one since Jan 20015!) I have booked an appointment with my doctor but I need some advice in the short term until I can get a proper diagnosis

    There are other factors to think about: how old are you? what is your body type? anyone else in the family have trouble losing weight?

    It may also pay to get your Thyroid checked

    Food intolerance testing has worked for a few people I know

    I'm 18, I've always been slightly chunky but in the last year or so I've just ballooned. My sister has PCOS so there is a history of it in the family but she is the complete opposite, it's impossible for her to gain weight! Lucky sod :D

    If you have gained weight, this will make PCOS symptoms much worse (not the other way). Since you are only 18, have ballooned and do not have a period for months, I need to ask the obvious: have you taken a pregnancy test?

    I'm definitely not pregnant, double checked
