Hi guys I'm finally taking the time to pay attention to my health and am realizing that changing my eating habits and increasing my activity will improve my chances of being a happy and healthy mommy. Any one else out there with the same journey?

    Me! Since being diagnosed with PCOS 12 years ago I've slowly been gaining weight. It's more challenging now then ever to lose it.

    Hi. I am a SAHM of 3 and was diagnosed with PCOS and prediabetes in June 2016. Began meeting with a dietician and have lost 40 lbs since then without medication. I still have my ups and downs with my hormones, but they are a lot better than they used to be. My diary is open, and you are welcome to add me. I wish you all the best!

    Hi, I have pcos as well and I have had issues with my weight since i was a kid. I've always been over weight but it's gotten out of hand since I became pregnant in 2013, after baby i just kept gaining. I've recently started to take charge and I am trying to get healthy and lose this weight :) good luck to you!

    I was diagnosed with PCOS in my early 20s. Gained about 100 pounds over the following 7 or 8 years. Rode the weight roller coaster for a few years after that because of moving every year... Settled in, started losing again, and almost as soon as I lost 10% of my body weight, I ended up pregnant. My kid is a year old now, and I'm losing weight again... And I have almost no more symptoms of PCOS. I didn't even end up with gestational diabetes, much to my OB's shock.

    Now I'm hoping to try for baby #2 in 2017. :)

    Yea me too... PCOS has been so challenging. Lost 3 stones after my second child.... i had diabetes during pregnancy and high blood pressure after. I'm was only 28. I managed to lower my blood sugar and blood pressure after last child.... but the weight is quickly coming on again. Help and support please! ....what's the most effective way to lose weight with PCOS? I did keto diet in the pass, worked well.
    I'm currently started doing intermittent fasting and low carb.
