Firstly, you are so sweet for taking the time to write this. I posted this in the main community of MyFitnessPal and got drug across the coals for looking for a doctor to give me a magic solution instead of just working harder *big eye roll*. Thank you so much, I will look there! Finally thankfully my weight has started to…

Thank you so much for both of your very helpful responses.

The more to the story is that the first 3 doctors told me there is nothing wrong you are just overeating and not telling us go home and didn’t test me. The fourth doctor told me I do have PCOS and basically told me I’m doomed to deal with the symptoms forever. I didnt feel a need to make an already long post longer by…

Right. How obscene of me to want to find a doctor who cares about my excruciating ovary pain, frequent migraines, constant fatigue, and extremely painful cystic acne instead of just telling me I have PCOS and am doomed when I know there are things that can help.

Multiple people explicitly said I was self diagnosing. Multiple people implied I was lazy by saying I was looking for a magical solution. I’ve been doing the work and I made this post because I’m sick of doctors assuming I haven’t and the last thing I wanted was people who do not know the condition telling me that I…

God. I thought posting on MyFitnessPal would be fine but apparently the internet is trash everywhere. Thanks to those of you who actually said helpful things instead of assuming I was lazy and wanted metformin as a magical solution. And to be clear, i have been diagnosed but the doctor didnt do or suggest anything helpful…

I am not looking to metformin to be a magic wand. I know multiple people who have used it and it has helped them lose weight with a healthy diet and calorie deficit. I am perfectly willing to put in the work and have seen metformin make it so that people don’t have to work twice as hard to achieve 1/2 the results. I know…

Because when you have PCOS it is much harder to lose weight. I want metformin because I have a condition that metformin can help. There is nothing wrong with going on a medication that will help your body function as it should. Also it would be super rad if one day I wasn’t infertile which metformin can help. And the drop…

Oh, also, I think the shaved head+beard look might work better on you than what you have going on now. That's what my guy did before meeting me because he had a lot of thinning going on and it worked for him.

Firstly, congratulations! You should be proud of your weight loss and all of your other accomplishments, regardless of whether or not they resulted in the success you were hoping for. I am going to preface this by saying as someone who spent all of her teenage years and early adult years sobbing because she was certain she…

I didn't even think of looking on Instagram! I'm planning on trying inositol but want to see what happens with just the low-carb/high-fat and add one thing in at a time so that I know what is working and what isn't. Thank you so much!!!

I’m just exploring remedying PCOS but one of my friends lost 30 lbs in the first month. Granted, with proper diet and exercise, but nonetheless!

This was so extremely helpful. I don't think I can thank you enough. Of course, I would love to be losing 2 pounds a week and I have my calorie deficit set there, but I could live with .5 a week if that's all my body can give me. It being .5 per three months was just not enough - at that rate I wouldn't be able to reach a…

Thank you for pointing out that I can set macros to whatever I want! I had no idea. As far as making my Diary public, I am very appreciative for the offer to look through and determine what might be the problem but I have some pretty serious privacy concerns in all online matters, however insignificant they may seem. Thank…

Yes, thank you!
