    Same here!!! Makes ya feel completely miserable doesn't it? My Dr and Nutritionist has cut me down to 45g of carbs and 120g of protein. It's hard sometimes to stay within that range. So if I mess up, I don't make it too hard on myself. I try to do my best. I have cut out soda, I drink Pepsi Max, which my Dr recommended. I work out 6 days a week, doing Zumbda. But need to add in strength training. Do you go to the gym? Do you have a trainer? I don't know where to start.

    I would encourage you to look around and join a gym... try to find some like minded people.. I found spinning, and swimming. Am trying to become a runner.. started a running group with couch 2 5k..

    ok, I DO have PCOS and 2 LBS IN ONE WEEK? I would be JUMPING FOR JOY!! Don't be so hard on yourself - 2lbs in one week is good for anyone! ESPECIALLY someone that has PCOS...actually that's like almost unheard of!! LOL

    :flowerforyou:

    I couldnt agree more!! I have PCOS and insulin resistance and it would take me about 3 weeks to lose 2lbs, I run 3 miles everyday and all I eat is fruit, veg and lean meat! I'm jealous! You are obviously doing something right so keep going :)

    Actually you should put the swimsuit on !!!
    I'm a water person and love to go to the pool/the ocean, swimming is burning a lot of calories + it makes you feel good.
    And with 2 pounds less, you'll look awesome anyway :smile:

    2lbs in one week is great, PCOS or not! Good job!
