PCOS & trying to lose weight

For those who have this condition, you know losing weight feels like fighting an uphill battle. It's so easy to make excuses (as logical & factual as they are) about how your condition haults any progress. But you know what? YOU CAN DO IT!! I'm but one of the many living examples. I'm busting my butt to exercise 3-4 times a week, and to change my eating habits. It's not easy, and I still have about 100 lbs to go, but I'm closer to my goal with every workout and every unhealthy meal/food I reject. I'm fighting my uphill battle, & I'd love to be part of your support group to help you fight yours too.
God Bless!

    So true!!! PCOS adds just another layer to the difficulty of losing weight but it is still possible! I am down 45 pounds from my start, and have a long ways to go! Would love another friend on this journey!

    Hi, I also have PCOS and out on 15kg within the past year. I have now lost approximately 6kgs but I am not exercising due to time limits, not that it is an excuse but I have totally switched my diet around. But I am finding my weight is now fluctuating a lot now I'm at the one month mark.

    If it were easy, everyone would be thin and healthy! ;)
