My boyfriend got new shirts for work, size small. I decided to try them on and they fit! Granted they're tight, too tight to comfortably wear all day. But they fit!

    I have pcos with insulin resistance so they put my on Metformin and that really helped. It helped to finally allow my efforts to do something. But I follow a low carb high protein /veggie diet and working out.

    How long have you been doing the diet? I struggle with carbs. We're leaving for the Beach in July for the first time as a family and I really would like to be down 15 20 by then. I have a one year old that slows me down on working out.

    I would like to know with the PCOS if you were to the point that you had excessive facial hair, and if so, did the growth slow down after you lost the weight and stopped eating the carbs, or has it not changed.

    I had excess facial hair but not to the extreme I've unfortunately seen a lot of women deal with. I got a bad mustache that would come in fairly dark but it would stop grow after a certain point. I have not waxed it since I started this so I cant really comment on its growth speed but it does seem to have thinned out and lightened in color quite a bit. Other hair growth (toes/feet... Gross I know, like a hobbit) seems to have slowed dramatically. Overall the metformin, weight-loss, and low carb diet has seemed to help with quite a lot of the pcos though I definitely still have bad days. I'm more than willing to talk more/in greater detail if you'd likez just shoot me a friend request if you want. :smile:

    What was your calorie count? My endocrinologist put me on 1200 calories, high protein. I also have PCOS and its insulin resistant. I also go to the gym 6 days a week.

    Your story is such an inspiration!

    Sorry ladies, just saw this!

    I haven't been counting anything to be honest! I just try and watch how many carbs I'm taking in and make them good carbs.

    I don't know mt measurements, no. I regret not taking them but I was at an 18w jeans now I can fit some 8s. Extra large to 2x shirts down to mediums and smalls.
