Looking for 'Cysters' with PCOS.

Hello, I'm Leah, I live in Florida and I'm married and a mommy of 2. I have PCOS as well and it has really crept up with me and caused me to gain. I weighed as much as I do when I deliver my babies!!! I've started the keto diet and have been doing it for about 2 weeks now and I've already lost 11 pounds! I also danced for 20 years and after I got married and pregnant my studio closed so I had to stop. Instead now I'm doing NYCB's workout and it's the closest thing I can get to real dance, lol

I have PCOS too but was lucky to not struggle with infertility but unlucky enough to struggle with weight and acne, amongst other things. I had lost 22 lbs since March and then found out I'm pregnant again! So I fell off the wagon for a couple weeks but want to start eating healthy and not trying to lose weight but watching how much weight I gain. I also was at the weight I was when I was full term pregnant. hate PCOS!

I am 57, pcos, mom of two (maximum dose of clomid did wonders). My lowest adult weight was just before I had each child. Looking back I attribute it to eatting the diabetic diet the nutritionist had me on, which although I had to eat 2800 calories a day resulted in a 20 pound lose (immediately after delivery) of my first son and 10 after my second. The diet I was following was low carb, back then who knew. My on/gyn told me she thought my metabolism only functioned correctly when I was pregnant. A few years back I was diagnosed with extremely low vitamin d (like the level was 9) and never realized that connection with weight also. I know I can loose the weight, my main problem is the plateau I hit at about 25 pounds down which I have never been able to break through. I tend to give up there. This time I am hoping to break that trend.

Hi, I'm 25 from the UK and recently diagnosed with PCOS. I have used Mfp before but fell off the wagon, I am ready to get in shape and get healthy!
PCOS is making it quite difficult for me to lose weight and I also suffer with adult acne.
Looking to connect with people on the same journey

Hello. I am 33 from the UK and also a fellow PCOS sufferer which has caused weight issues, unwanted hair growth on my face and the dark skin patches to add to that it has also affected my fertility. I have been Trying for a baby for over 10 years. I am here now to try and loose around 40lbs (to hopefully kick start my periods and maybe help with the baby making) as in early 2018 if no joy before that we are looking at going abroad for Fertility treatment.

I hate exercise (as have bad hips - another issue) but have started walking at pace with my dog for 20 mins each day and have downloaded the couch to 5k and will start that next week. My passion is crafting.

Good luck everyone xxx

Hi! I have PCOS too, from Texas. Losing weight is so frustrating with pcos, but it is possible. Low carb is the only thing that works for me, which is sad because carbs are so delicious!

Hi everyone. I'm 31, live in Florida, and have been married for almost 2 years. I was diagnosed with pcos when we started trying for a baby and things just weren't happening. I was also diagnosed as pre-diabetic and started 500mg of metformin once a day last week. Now I am trying to figure this stuff out. I've been overweight since I was in middle school, so "healthier eating habits and exercise" with no real direction has me scrambling. Feeling slightly overwhelmed and hoping for some support and some reassurance that a family is possible for us...
