    I am in the same boat! I've was diagnosed PCOS about 13 years ago, and after having 2 kids it's getting harder and harder to control the weight. I've been watching calories and portions for about 2 months now...I've lost 13 pounds so far, but it has not been easy. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    Hi there! I began my weight loss journey a little over a year ago. I have insulin resistance and have a lot of weight to lose. When I began last year in may I weighed 265. I'm now somewhere around 212. I'd like to lose about 60 more. It's been a long road and I'm learning a LOT about myself and my body. The last time I had my blood sugar tested I was completely normal even after eating a yogurt. My blood pressure is also now normal and I'm off all meds. I'd be happy to share your journey with you and be a support in any way I can.

    Cheers to you!

    Hey there,

    I was diagnosed about a month ago and started trying to lose weight shortly after. So far I have lost 7lbs and weigh 251.5 but I am hoping to get down to 180..maybe less.

    Add me (:

    I have a website and a Facebook page for people who are insulin resistant - I don't have PCOS but I know that insulin resistance goes hand in hand with it, so hopefully you can find helpful hints there! See my profile for the link to my website if you're interested - I don't want to put the link in the message boards.

    Feel free to friend me. I've had PCOS for over 10 years. I have over 100# to lose and just started this month. I've tried different meds, different diets, worked through infertility and a miscarriage (now I have 2 precious boys!) Work, 2 kids and life in general makes PCOS a bit of a slap in the face some days. Just doesn't seem fair, but we just put our big girl panties on and deal with it !!! Good luck to ya hon---we got your back!
