Hi everyone! Been ttc for almost 4 years with no luck. I have been diagnosed with PCOS for over a year. My husband and I are working together to lose weight! I'm down 35 pounds already but have stalled out. Would love extra support, and would love to be able to support someone else! What I'm working on is a lower carb diet including Atkins shakes and a product called Soylent.

Hello! My name is Liz and I was diagnosed with PCOS in Fall of 2010. My acne was the worst it has ever been in my life and my mom read something in a magazine about PCOS while I was with my dermatologist and rushed in to ask if I should get tested. Lo' and behold, that was the problem. A steady regiment of birth control and skin creams has gotten my acne under control, but I just graduated law school and gained a pretty substantial amount of weight in three years. I'm currently studying for the bar, so the stress is still super high, but I need to do something to begin losing weight. I was so happy to see that this group existed! I would love to hear what has worked for any of you in terms of weight loss. I've decided to try a low-carb, keto style diet.

Hello! I was diagnosed with PCOS in February and I have also been on and off medication for hypothyroidism since 2010. I have been with my boyfriend for going on 8 years, and I have a beautiful daughter who will be 7 this October. They are both very supportive and encouraging when it comes to getting this weight off. I have suffered with PCOS symptoms for years, and I was only recently able to find a doctor to do proper testing and give me a accurate diagnoses for my issues. After years of diet and exercise to get rid of my baby weight with little to no result, I was very discouraged. My doctor put me on medication and I finally feel ready and committed to getting this weight off. I have lost 20lbs just being on medication, so now with daily exercise and tracking what I am eating I am excited to see how much more I can lose. I have never been one for consistency but being here really helps me stay on track! I am recently back to using MFP daily after not logging for awhile. I absolutely love MFP and I am so excited to find a group with other ladies who know the struggle of pcos.

Hello everyone! My name is Michelle and I was diagnosed with PCOS 12/13 years ago. I'm currently breastfeeding and I am not on medication for my pcos. I still have 25ish lbs to my pre pregnancy weight and around 45 to my most comfortable/healthy weight (I'm 5'1" btw). It was difficult to get pregnant but I feel very blessed to have my son, I know many women with PCOS are still struggling and my heart goes out to all of you. My hormones have been steadily getting more and more unbalanced since I got my cycle back in November. My obgyn wants my son weaned for 3 months before treatment since breastfeeding can be the culprit for some hormonal imbalances so it's difficult to pinpoint causation. I'm not weaning my son until we are mutually ready so I've decided that in the meantime I want to go hard on proper nutrition and weight loss. I've recently given up dairy and I'm being very cautious of my carbs, gluten, and sugar. Idk about any if you but I'd rather give up sex than cheese! So that goes to show how ready I am for a change. Now I'm rambling.. lol. Anyone is free to add me, I would love some cysters for friends!

Not sure if this group is dead or what, but I'll introduce myself in case it's not! I'm Britney Wanke and I'm 24. Happily married to my best friend just short of 5 years! I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15. After a miscarriage of twin babies in 2014 and not getting a period since then I've finally decided to get off my *kitten* and kick this diet so I can be healthy and maybe a Mom one day! I'm looking to lose about 60 lbs! Hoping to lose 30 by my anniversary in February!
