@rabbitjb Honestly, I don't care about studies very much cause most of the time they're just paid and not occurate. I've lived around ppl with hormonal disbalance most of my life (some of them obese) and I could see how hard it was for them to lose weight even if they did everything right... or they lost some weight (still…

It's not an excuse but that's your opinion:) Depends on model agency - the good ones want healthy models:) My fitness trainer is a nutritionist but not helping either:/ But thank you:)

I count calories strictly for my cardio burns - I've done LISS and HIIT over the years, I used to run, I swam,... so I really was just curious about caloric INTAKE of other girls with PCOS:) I DID lose for 5 years and THEN I gained about 16-17lbs in just two months (but I alredy wrote that in a previous post:)) about a…

HRMs keep my arrythmia in check and that's all that matters to me in fact:) I wonder if you'd ever consider the possibility that I AM logging right - after 8 years of exercise and diet and 5 years of steadily losing - I think I am and the problem is really mainly in hormonal disbalance. But I guess you'd say the same thing…

YES - exactly <3 thank you <3

Yeah, I know I didn't say that HRM is super occurate and I don't even use it mainly for calories burn - I use it to monitor my heart since I need to keep my heart in check:) Thank you for your answear - it was really helpful:):* Good to see someone IS eating less than they're "calculated" BMR is cause of health condition:*

I go to both endocrinologist and gynecologist - since I'm not exactly obese and eat healthy diet - they don't care that I gained about 17 lbs in two months about two years ago WITHOUT any change in my diet or exercise AND without being underweight before :-) It's just part of my heart disease AND PCOS in their opinion:/

I don't think so:( as well as they haven't studied connection among PCOS and onsomnia, depression and LC or keto diet:( they seem to "treat" only the infertility part:(

Ofc you burn calories at 55...and even 33 but it's not "cardio"zone yet and that's what we're talking about:* If my heart rate gets in "cardio state" during whatever exercise the HRM monitors it the same way as if I was doing steady state cardio;) and I meant 60 PERCENT of maximum heart rate (which is about 115 in my case)…

HRM mainly monitors heart beat and IS NOT the most occurate thing when it comes to calories exp.? Nothing new and I've never said otherwise. But thx anyway:* And you're right ...go ahead with nothing to actually say to the subject (or do you have your own experience w/ PCOS?);)

Don't;) feel free to share;)

I haven't heard about Inositol other than that it's for PCOS. I also take Prometrium Rx progesterone for my PCOS and endo. That's to balance the hormones, because I do have too many androgens. The Metformin is Rx for IR/diabetes. The herbs and mineral I take are other things that can help the blood sugar levels. Mine got…

It would be really helpful if you had ovaries and uterus too but...oh well:D

I'm not on any medication for PCOS yet:( just taking vitamin supplements:) I heard Inositol might help a little bit too...do you have any experience with that or somenody you know?:* and...what exactly is Fenugreek, Bilberry and Metformin? I heard about Metformin but...is it for prescription only?:)

That is not true. HRMs are to use for any physical exercise - including strenght training and HIIT...and even Pilates - it just depends how you have it adjusted;) mine counts calories after I get above 60% of my HR for example;)

I know that. I was just curious cause I know there are women eating at online calculated BMR and women who found out it's too much (even have their BMR calculated by progessionals) for them and eat way less than that and yet aren't undereating. I just thought that ASKING-GETTING straight ANSWEARS was what discussions were…

AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED THE ONLY QUESTION I WAS ASKING ... I'll give you a hint...it's the one where I'm asking HOW MANY CALORIES DO GIRLS WITH PCOS here CONSUME A DAY.

Aaaand...WHAT ABOUT YOUR OPINION, HMMMMM???

Ofc yoga burns calories just depends what kind of yoga you're doing B) I use heart monitor btw:*

Ask your friend ;) :*

I ALREADY EAT UNDER 15g of carbs a day but I'll try to lower it even more for a few weeks and see what happens :* THANK YOU <3 * and how many kcals do you eat a day w/ PCOS and how tall are you? Just wondering o:)

I'm not being snarky. As you may know I didn't come here to ask for fitness or diet advice. I ASKED GIRLS AND WOMEN W/ PCOS AND/OR PCOS WHAT THEIR DAILY CALORIC INTAKE IS. Only few ppl answered what was ASKED. The others are just being "smart"... And you didn't answer either sooo...you pretty much just made my point;-)

I don't see "PCOS" as my excuse to "gain" but I certainly DO see it as a problem and I WANT to solve it. If you ARE suffering from PCOS and losing weight is not such a problem - GOOD for YOU, you're ONE of FEW. I would LOVE to see if you'd feel that way if you did everything right and still gained.

Define "advance" when it comes to YOU... Maybe you're just not doing it right ;)

WOW, you're a HERO.

Been there, done that. LISS doesn't change my weight loss either:( And my Pilates is advance so it's really not to be considered just "stretch" - I burn about 300kcal in a session. And I track EVERYTHING (kcal, carbs, protein, fat, kcal burn through exercise) - I'm no newbie to this. And ARE you suffering from PCOS, TOO?…

I'm 23, why?:)

I've done Insanity in the past. Now I'm doing INSANITY MAX 30:)

It's not even a plateau - it's gaining:( And I was about 130lbs last month...haven't changed a thing about my diet and I gained. And I'm not pregnant or anything:(

I am tracking calories:) I eat between 1000 - 1400kcal or 1400-1600kcal... but I suffer from hormonal disbalance AND that results in slow metabolism so I'm not sure if "eating more - losing more" will work in my case:(
