    I don't think there's any exercise regimen that is better for PCOS, so I just try to get myself into the gym at least 4 times a week. As for diet, I try to eat less carbs and sugar, since those affect glucose and all that stuff. It's worked pretty well for me so far... I was able to lose 50 lbs a year ago, and now I've gain about 20 back from stress and bad habits, but I'm working hard on getting back on track

    If you're a student at a relatively big university you should be able to find some sort of gym to work out in. I'm at school and I only use the fitness rooms here. They're crowded, but it works.

    Go to a PCOS specific website such as this http://soulcysters.com/weight_loss.html
    This is just one website of many.

    I was diagnosed with PCOS like 3 years ago and I was back then at my heaviest 180 and I was always discouraged because the Dr. said I was gunna have a really hard time losing weight because of my PCOS...but in all honesty, work out everyday and eat about 1200 to 1400 calories a day depending on how much your working out, and make sure you are on a HIGH protein and VERY VERY LOW carb and sugar free and you will see the change...

    I now weight 125 and I never thought that was possible! You can do it
