Look into the AIP diet (autoimmune protocol) I have an under active thyroid and Hashimotos. This has been life changing. Facebook has some really helpful groups for those with thyroid issues. Good luck!

Out of curiosity, why is everyone so concerned with what number they want to get down to? Why not just be healthy, fit, and happy! Here is to the day when scales no longer matter!

I actually agree with your Dr. As a long time sufferer of PCOS (15 years) I would say based on your symptoms that you probably don't have PCOS. The fact that you have no cysts on your ovaries (which is the MAIN part of PCOS), no problems with fertility and you lose weight just fine, suggest that your few symptoms you do…

THIS!! OMG, Noosa and I have a love affair...I could eat that yogurt every meal. I love to buy local and that's the excuse I use to pay a little more for this dream yogurt.

I like to keep it easy and simple. I mix up some extra virgin olive oil with some garlic (or garlic salt in a pinch) and then I lay out some foil and lay the salmon and whatever veggies i want (asparagus is my fav) on the foil and brush the olive oil/garlic mixture over the salmon and veggies. Bake @375 or 400 for 20-30…

Hey there! I am too a fellow PCOS'er. Heard about Maca Root powder also and am just starting it. Also am just starting NAC (supposed to be really good for PCOS along with tons of other health benefits) and Omega 3 fish oil. I already take a good multi-vitamin, vitamin D3, Vitamin C and B-complex. What kind of side affects…

Two really good ones are Opti-women by Optimum Nutrition and Women's One Daily by MegaFoods. They blow One-A-Day outta the water.

I also am an Insulin resistant/PCOS sufferer. I go through periods where I give up caffeine for awhile because it's really not good for us PCOS girls. *sigh* But I just miss it so when I get off it, even after the "darkness" of caffeine withdrawls. But I always come back to my mood enhancing mistress. Now, I have come to…

Kill them with kindness! Seriously, nothing shuts people up or makes them realize they are being a d-bag quicker than laughing it off with them or just smiling genuinely at them. They want to see you be upset or rattled, when you don't give that to them they SHOULD move on. Hope it helps!

Absolutely incredible. Inspiring!

I also have struggled with acne and PCOS from 12-27. I am now 28 and still have slight acne but I find my skin clears up a TON when I steer clear of dairy and too many white carbs. Also I find LOTS of water (or green tea) and a vitamin C supplement help work wonders. I try to do all of these things and it really helps.

Vodka+sprite zero+lemon and lime wedges=a naughty limeaid! Mmmmmm!! If you don't want soda or artificial sweetener then just str8 vodka, enjoy! Also, I've looked up this question before and it said the best bang for your buck as far as calories vs alcohol content, that red wine is best. Make sure to match your adult…

Hey girls, I'm in the same boat! Trying to tame this naturally (been down the metformin road before) Feel free to add me! Slow and steady wins the race!

We use a little splash of non-fat half and half, it's 20 calories for 2 TBSP. Which is actually more than it seems. That or you can add a couple oz's of skim milk.
