Unwanted hair growth in PCOS can be caused by inflammation, stress, hypothyroidism, and the birth control pill, but the most common one is insulin resistance.

  • Mine is the other way around, my M400 quotes much less per class (around 200kcal) than my old FT7 used to. I have started doing a fitness test every 2 weeks or so and it looks like the numbers are balancing out a little more. :)

  • Hi, I've left the group as I believe that I am a little too heavy to be in the not-so-heavy group but on a journey to get to 147lbs, far from my ideal weight (119lbs, this is never going to happen) but closer to what I deem ideal for my bodytype. I am 5ft2, 27yo. Looking for friends to keep my motivation for clean eating…

  • I've been thinking for a long time that there was a massive difference in my M400 calorie burn vs my old FT7, I'll definitely try and get regular fitness tests in to see if that brings them more inline as I'm working just as hard at class :D
