When I spoke to my specialist he said if I wanted to use Ovulation Kits then use the Clearblue one as it is most accurate - CM and temp also showed ovulation at the same time as the monitor. I have got an appt on 28th Jan where I need to be down to a BMI of 30 so another 2 stone loss, then he will give me Clomid - I am…

I swim at least 3 times a week for 30minutes at least - I have been doing this for 5 months and have lost 42lbs so far - this is along with a low carb diet and also lots of walking! I love swimming so would like to think that it helps!

Hey!! Yay, I got engaged on 11th September! Our venue is booked and our SERIOUS diet had begun! I have lost 6llbs since getting engaged and lost 36lbs prior to getting engaged! I am a size 20 now, started at a size 22 - but want to be a size 14/16 at the most for the wedding which is 14th June 2014! Good Luck and enjoy the…

I try to hit 1200 calories but don't always hit it - I am not hungry one bit! I believe that every person is different, and if I eat 1000-1200 I feel full and healthy surely it won't harm me!? It is hard to eat more calories when I don't want to eat more carbs.....
-
I started at 292lbs and am now 250lbs - what would 10% loss be for me (I am AWFUL at maths!!) My cycles are not regular and my ovulation monitor hasn't shown me ovulating yet!! I have only been using it for 2 months though - before that was the ovulation sticks, but they never showed me ovulating! We are loosing weight and…

Wow, that is amazing!! How much have you lost in total now?? I had a rough week this week with PCOS - got engaged, for a few days the "no children" cloud was lifted - but then my best friend announced she is preganant with her second baby - I am so happy for her, but it is so painful when all we want is a baby!! x
-
The first week is HARD but then after that you sort of loose the cravings and want for carb food!! Have a look at my dairy, I am under 20 grams of carbs (Monday - Friday)- yeh, some people say that is too low but I completely believe that everyone is different - I feel amazing and so much happier than when I was living on…
-
I keep mine under 20grams Monday - Friday then up it at the weekend to allow myself a treat. Works great for me, at least 2lbs a week weight loss and I feel great!! I don't have such bad cramps anymore too. Unfortuanlty my cycle hasn't returned to "normal" yet, but the doc said that can be the PCOS and the dramatic change…
-
He said to do trial and error and see what works for me, when i first started i did under 100grams and didn't see any pounds dropping off, when i lowered to 50grams it was very slow - some weeks nothing off and some weeks 1lb, on 20grams I am hitting 2lbs a week which is what I want !!
-
My doctor has told me low carb is good for PCOS, I tried it for a few weeks and it has been great, have lost almost 3 stone and don't miss any stodgy potatoes etc and don't feel hungry. It seems low carbs works for me....everything else doesn't!!
-
I am going to try and up my carbs a little this week and go to 25grams a day max - I will add more vegetables/fruit into my daily diet and see if this still means I am loosing weight. I don't feel poorly in myself and don't have any bad side effects from going low carb. As you can see from my diary, Monday - Friday I am…

Have just found out with AF/MIA mean - !! Do you think the lower calories could affect my AF then!? It is really hard to eat under 20g Carbs a day (which I am keen to keep doing) but eat more than 1200 calories!!
-
I set my limit to 1200 because I struggle to eat over that every day - some days I do allow myself to, if I am doing exersize especially! I don't feel hungry ever really and I have much more energy and feel so much better in myself. What does "af being mia" mean, sorry!? I have got the doctors again soon, I will mention to…
-
Wow, that is great to read!! How much weight have you lost since starting?? I definately think it is the right diet for me, I feel better and I am not hungry all the time! What exersize do you do? I really struggle to enjoy exersize (apart from dog walks) so find it hard to do it - terrible attitude I know!!
-
It is odd, I don't feel at all tired or hungry when I eat 20 grams or less a day (normally no more than 15grams) - I feel tired on days like today when I see my family and got a KFC :( - LOADS of carbs and now all I want to do is nap....I will drag myself to do a work out though!! The only reason I worry about being "too"…
-
Salad Cream is by Heinz, its yum!! Really hard to use a small amount with tuna etc becuase I hate it being dry!! I am definately going to try the recipe Laura_beau - yum!! I struggle to get to my 1200 calories when i am doing the super low carb diet - I miss chocolate etc, but feel so much better after a few days of no…
-
I am the same, I have been dieting for 8 weeks and have lost min 2lbs a week (some weeks more etc) - I have lost just under 3 stone, but now this week, and last week I have STOPPED :( I haven't done anything different this week or last week - in fact I have exersised more !! VERY frustrating and makes me feel like the…
-
I am trying to cut out/down my carbs because this is was my main problem before I started this "lifestyle change"!! I like to keep my carbs really low, and because of this it means I struggle to find the calories - anything that is tasty is high in carbs and caloires!! At the weekend I admit I am quite naughty sometimes,…
-
I don't feel like I need to eat anymore food when I have had my 3 meals and at dinner I will have a small portion of fruit or Jelly - I dont like nuts/Peanut butter and don't feel hungry for more food!! I have set the calories at 1200 because that is the lowest I can set it - but I rarely get to it! I will try adding more…
-
WOW!! So happy for you!! Fingers crossed it can happen for me too!! How much did you loose? xxx
