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!

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
