I always use to wonder how I could pack on muscles so easily, but once I was diagnosed with PCOS it all made since! I was an amazing powerlifter in High School and finding out why made so much since to me!

So update!! (I forgot to take a picture!) Starting Weight: 263 Current Weight: 261 So that's a 2 pound loss!! It's not much but it's something!!

I follow a diet that is moderate carb , and spreads them throughout the day. It seems to work and helps keep from having those insulin spikes and the tired spells you can get from it. My doc recommended doing a diet this way. He said carbs are the bodies fuel, but the problem is when you put to much fuel it spills out! So…

There is hope for pregnancy. I was diagnosed with PCOS before having my son. I lost 50lbs (taking birth control to regulate). I then stopped taking the bc my hubby and I decided to try. Boom 1 month after the bc was out of my system boom I conceived! This time around I had gained weight back and I'm trying to loose it…

I'm currently on a cycle of from Provera and OMG!!! I feel like a Goodyear blimp I'm so bloated! My boobs hurt! My husband says I'm sensitive. I'm with you normally I'm not pmsing at all this sucks!!

You can add me if you like!!

I would think 18 would be the right size. For the weight you posted. If you aren't losing sometimes adding calories helps. It did me I was on a 2 month plateau. I added 300 calories and it helped alot!! I lost 10 lbs in 2.5 weeks! Not losing doesn't always mean that you are eating too much. Sometimes you're not eating…

Who cares what those people say. I've learned that people do that because they are unhappy with themselves. DO NOT CRY!!! At the end of the day you know what you do. If you are trying your damndest then **** everyone else. You are doing it for you and no one else. This is your time to pick yourself up and say **** IT I…

To me free weights are better. But the advantage resistance bands have is you can stretch your muscles at the same time. A good mixture of the two is wonderful for your body. Jillian Michael's online has AMAZING strength training workouts. It incorporates both dumbells and resistance bands, along with using your own body…

Jillian Michael's DVDS!!! They are cheap and effective!!! 10 bucks at Wal-mart!

I also found that if I trim my calories too much I gain weight and plateau. So I actually up my cals some if I start plateauing or I change my workout. The main thing is keeping your body guessing if you get use to something change it!! You have to exert your body to change it! Yes period made me gain 5 lbs of water weight…

I've been doing the 30 day shred and I'm on day 25. I absolutely love it!! I have lost fat in so many places and my arms are soo much leaner now!! I actually have cuts in my shoulders and everything!! I haven't been able to stick with it EVERY single day, (hubby in the hospital and all) but I've seen results big time!! I'm…

I do both. I work out in the morning before work to wake up and get my metabolism pumping. Then a protein shake. Then when I get home in the evenings to wind down. Nothing better than a hot shower after a sweaty work out to relax. That's just what works for me. Some people don't like getting up any earlier than they have…

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! Well guess what you just took your first step!! You can do it!

Oh I know I would, but unfortunately we can't unless you get sugar free, calorie free, fat free, etc brownies!! Wouldn't THAT be a God send?

Because Brownies prevent bikinis!! I struggle too!! BUT I do satisfy my cravings with small amounts of whatever it is I'm craving. I also eat REALLY slow when I'm sating a craving!! It helps! Plus you don't eat an entire pan!

One thing I read is to not completely cut ANYTHING out of your diet, like carbs or protein, etc. Simply because you will gorge on that stuff later. Honestly I eat what I want I just watch WHAT I eat and how much. I also know you can OVER exercise. I did that once and I stopped for like 3 days and I started to loose weight…

Fiber One Bars are nice they taste REALLY good and are only 90 cals and satisfy the sweet tooth. Also for Ice Cream fix I found vanilla yogurt is a good alternative!! I battle a sweet tooth ALL the time and I found those help ALOT. Also pretzel M&Ms aren't that bad either!

I feed my husband regular food. I eat it too but in moderation. That's the key moderation!! (but I don't fry anything!) Believe it or not my husband hates fried food so that makes it easier for me!! So I feed my husband the husband diet!! He gets what he wants!! I gotta keep him happy!

I agree not enough calories! Hell you can eat veggies like that you burn more calories when you chew and digest!

I have the same problem!! lol I know plastic frames aren't as bad at cutting into my head.

I am soo happy for you!!! Congrats!!!!! I bet it's the best feeling in the world!!!! See PCOS can't keep you down!!! We can all fight through it and conquer it! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

I just wanted to give props to you for your 58lb weight loss!! That is amazing!!! I understand how hard it is to lose the weight with PCOS and I just recently reached my 40lb mark! That is a wonderful accomplishment! Keep it up! On another note I would wait to lose some more if your concerned about your baby. Since women…

No I haven't but I read a book called the PCOS Diet or something of the like and I love the diet!
