Hi,

I've had weight issues my whole life. I have PCOS ( Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome -- sounds way scarier than it is). It makes weight loss very difficult. I've found that the Insulin Resistance Diet (look it up on Amazon.com) helps quite a bit, so if you have it, check it out. I lost a little weight now, but want to find some fellow PCOS sufferers that want to buddy up to help each other keep motivated to loose weight. Send me a friend invite on the app if you need a buddy like I do! Thanks!

    Hey!! Im kim. I also have pcos and understand how frustrating it is. I had my little boy nearly 2 years ago and started to put on alot of weight,have irregular/missed periods and moods like ive never known,which lead to my diagnosis. Im getting married in 4 and a half weeks and am desprate for another little one but have been advised to lose weight before i can start treatment.
    It would be great to give each other some support and hopefully meet our goals

    I've been diagnosed formally for almost a decade. I'm working hard on what the dietitian gave to work with and it works. We also have a group on here for PCOS women to come together and vent their frustrations and also brag about their positive dealings with it.

    There's a PCOS group w/ 400+ members... It's called "PCOS Cysters Losing Together".

    PCOS is a *kitten*! Good luck in your journey, handling the good days and bad ones!

    Hey!! I've been diagnosed with PCOS since I was 16. 6 years of battling with this has been a chore, to say the very least. I've finally decided to take my weight loss seriously, because I don't want this condition to control my life. I know that in comparison to most people, some of us will have the hardest time losing weight because of our condition - but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Every pound lost helps... I want to be healthy for the day (hopefully in the near future) when my husband and I decide that it's time for us to start trying to have kids. I know it won't be easy, but I can at least plan ahead and make things easier on myself in the long run...

    I'm so proud to see a 'sisterhood' of women out here who struggle with the same thing, but aren't letting it rule them. You're all such beautiful and capable women - and it inspires me to keep pushing through the tough times despite this 'handicap.'

    Keep rockin' on, ladies!! Feel free to add me :)
