anyone suffer from PCOS?? need help in keeping motivated

I have it too and finally got real about changing my diet at the end of February. I didn't lose a pound until June. The only thing that kept me on my diet was knowing that not dieting wasn't going to be successful, either. I'm 47 and was just diagnosed with pre-diabetes in December when I was almost 200 lbs. I think I had to diet for months without results because PCOS makes our bodies very slow to give up weight. What's working for me now is 1. add protein to my diet and 2. eat whole foods (primarily proteins, fruits and vegetables, with some fats). I've always found it impossible to stop myself from things, but if I fill my life (and diet) with other things, then the bad things have a way of falling out. My meals are now based on protein, either with no "starch" side dish, or the starch is incorporated into the meat (like fish sticks or meatballs). The rest of the meal is generally vegetables (usually green). My snacks are generally raw fruit (or veggies), about half the time with some protein like peanut butter, cheese stick or plain greek yogurt (I've gotten used to tasting the lactose - milk sugar - in the yogurt as the sweetener. You can get used to anything!) Fruit and plain greek yogurt is my new dessert. I've still lost very little but I bet my blood sugars are a lot better now and I plan to stay on this meal plan for as long as it keeps working for me. I'm a busy working mom so I still have to rely on convenient frozen foods that my little kids will eat (ie, fishsticks! no way will they eat broiled tilapia for dinner, they would starve first) and having to shop for and fix the fresh fruits and vegetables is a total pain that basically takes away any amount of time that I could have exercised. I might have lost more weight faster if I had time to exercise (exercise is highly recommended for PCOS). On the exercise thing, I think that a daily 15 minute walk will give you better results than going for a hard 1 hour walk twice a week. I think it's important to get the circulation going daily and gentle exercise is good for us as it doesn't provoke any inflammatory response in the body (or exhaustion that could last for days) like hard exercise does.
