    While I may not have PCOS anymore, I was diagnosed at age 15 and lost a large amount of weight (in a very unhealthy way and developed an eating disorder) in my early 20s and it went away. I know the struggles that come along with it.

    you can't cure PCOS - you will always have it. your symptoms may just be under control.

    anyway, i also have PCOS (and an under active thyroid). i was formally diagnosed in December 2015 and prescribed metformin. i've lost a little over 30lbs since then (over 60lbs over the past 3-4 years). i use a different app to log my food, etc. but open to new friends, questions, etc.

    Thank you lord I found this message board!! Weight loss with this in not an easy journey! Please feel free to add me! Been battling this crazyness for many years with having a partial hysterectomy & a list of meds from lupron to metformin now in a nerve blocker cause they do not want to remove my ovaries. Since 2016 I've lost 70lbs but now I am stuck at a number that my body won't let me budge from. Would love to reach my 100lbs mark. Any help or support I will gladly take! Have a great day!!!
