    You have it from me! I'm back on MFP, after being gone a year, because I "now knew myself so thoroughly, there was no way I could mess it up!". I've been over 200 lbs, most of my adult life, and lost all of my "goal weight", thanks to MFP. Since stopping counting calories and keeping track of how many calories I'm burning, I've yo-yoed between 150 to 130 lbs, on a weekly basis. Not healthy, and not good for mental health. I encourage you, from one human being to another, to stick with the website, even if you don't always stick to your goals. I already feel better, and this is my first day back on!

    Hello! I'm 31 years old, married to the best man in the whole world, and the mother to a perfect 2 year old princess. I also have PCOS. I am currently at the heaviest I have ever been at 240lbs. Hubby and I are wanting another baby to add to our family and I know I need to lose this weight in order to get pregnant.

    I have PCOS and after no success losing weight with just diet and exercise (I trained and ran a half marathon and didn't lose a single pound.) My doc put me on Met about two weeks ago. Since then, I've lost about 5 lbs. I'm going to add all of you lovely ladies so we can encourage each other!

    I've been diagnosed with PCOS since I was 14 and endometriosis since I was 20. I'm 25 now. My husband and I are trying to have a baby. My doctor wants me to get my BMI down to 40 before she'll put me on any fertility meds. This will require me to lose 60 lbs from the time I last saw my doctor (3 weeks ago). She started me on metformin at that appointment. I started taking it about 1.5 weeks ago and have already lost almost 20 lbs. I am also exercising daily and only eating 1200 calories a day. Only 40 more lbs to go! I am so determined to make this work. I'd love some extra support! Thanks, ladies! ♡

    alyshalise I have coeliacs as well. It's really common for people with PCOS to have coeliacs or some form of gluten intolerance. 2 X fun inflammatory diseases!

    I was diagnosed with PCOS 18 years ago.Its been a struggle for sure.Thats why I love myfitnesspal.But what I hate the most is when you go out of your way to add people with the same condition for motivation and they delete you for no reason.We are suppose to support one another and help people who are struggling.I do log my food everyday for the last 175 days.No I do not complete my entry everyday but you can still see what I eat everyday and I just like to see what others are eating compared to what I eat..

    I have been diagnosed with PCOS for nearly 5 years now, and just now started to try to lose weight. I have been doing workouts for 3 weeks now, and neither seeing or feeling any changes. It's kind of discouraging for sure. You can all feel free to add me if you'd like. Encouragement is greatly needed! :)
