Hello! I also have PCOS and have been working with a nutritionist. My diet echos the low-carb (including starchy veg) and low/no dairy. I'm a vegetarian and eat lots of nuts, fruit, and veggies. I'm not insulin resistant. I've given up alcohol almost entirely. What has helped me most is staying active. I exercise every day…

Hello! I was diagnosed in December. I've lost 12 pounds since and have 30 to go :smile: Feel free to add me!

Hiya. I had a similar lab result this year. The nurse who called with the results was super rude so I faxed the results to my nutritionist for advice. In additon to the advice on reducing carb, meat, and dairy intake, she suggested taking a fish oil supplement (particularly one with DHA/EPA). When shopping for supplements,…

I'm from New Hampshire and chose Team Mystic. I started with Squirtle :) This game has made my morning walks 10x more entertaining and my bf is walking with me more often. Love it!

Love the cat and Pokemon photos. Mr. Darcy is not amused with the Raticate.

Hello! I also have PCOS. I was diagnosed this past winter. So far, managing with birth control is helping a lot. I also have a great nutritionist who has recommended supplements and a exercise routine. The hardest thing for me is recovering from my hormones being totally out of whack and accepting that I'm not going to…

Thin mint cookies. I no longer buy them because I know the box will be gone in 2-3 days.

Can't wait for onederland. These last 10 pounds won't budge!

Hello! I too have PCOS (only diagnosed this past December). I can relate to the overwhelming feeling- but you're so not alone! You might want to join the PCOS community on here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/3070-p-c-o-sis

Hi Amanda! I also have PCOS (only found out in December). I understand the frustration and admire your fighting spirit! Some things I've found helpful is pushing to be active every day, even if it's just walking during my lunch break. Eating a mostly vegetarian diet with whole grains. I take Inositol to help with insulin…

Oh @Nerdycurls, I have been in your shoes. Before my diagnosis, even doctors were griping at me that the only reason I'm not losing weight must be X (with mild implication that I was lying/doing something wrong). Whatever you do, don't give up! In addition to the advice above, I recommend thinking in terms of Non Scale…

Hi Alice! I was diagnosed in December so I'm also new to things. Feel free to add me :smiley:

Hello! I'm also an ex-college athlete (rugby) with PCOS looking to lose 50+ pounds. Feel free to add me! Puppies <3

Hello! I'm in a similar situation. I lost 30 pounds some time ago and gained it all back due to lack of activity. I'll be sending you a request shortly!

Just bought my my FitBit last week and am loving it! https://www.fitbit.com/user/3LFXQ5

Hiya- Fellow geek and word nerd here. Have you seen iZombie yet?
