Hey guys, I actually started this message board and I am SUPER excited to already see other people with PCOS reaching out! I have PCOS, and I have it all, overweight, hair loss(to the point I shaved my head all last year because being bald was better than the hair I had), cysts, anovulation, hirsutism , painful periods, you name it, I got it. I am on Metformin 1500 mgs a day, blood pressure meds, wellbutrin, intuniv, you get it, lots of damn pills, and I hate pills. I finally started letting my hair grow back when I realized I looked like Butter Bean... And found that Men's Rogaine Foam, that's right MENS, works wonders! I use it twice a day, I still wear a bandana every damn day, but my hair is slowly but damn surely getting thicker! I want out of this cycle of depression, guilt, self-hate, and emotional eating. And then I found this website the other day, and everything changed for me! I started a food diary, and realized when you write everything down, and I mean everything, you have to be accountable to yourself! And when you are staring at your goal number of calories, you don't really want to put "Huge Fried Chimichanga-1500 cal" on your food diary! AND when you start seeing results, which to us big girls doesn't take long, it is SO awesome and motivating! I started invisible jump roping in my house, and it burns ha ton of calories, keeps your heart rate up, and is free! I have lost 8 lbs so far in 2 weeks! So good luck to all you ladies with PCOS, and if anyone wants to add me, I would love to be friends!
