Hi can I jump in on this one? Just feeling a bit reassured to hear of someone in the same boat, unfortunately I don't know what to do about it either! I stopped breastfeeding two months ago and I've put on 12 lbs since! My weight was dropping or at worst stable before but now I feel like it's just shooting up! I've not…

I read that it was something to do with a insulin imitator hormone in dairy, that increases the insulin in your system. And it's too much insulin that is the problem in PCOS so reducing carbs and sugar helps because of needing less insulin to deal with it. I haven't actually tried any dairy free foods but I know a lot of…

Oh that's horrible, why would she say that? I had my scan today too and I'm in exactly the same situation, looked like your basic polycystic ovaries and my bloods show elevated testosterone.

I have found the Couch to 5K a really good programme, I downloaded an app onto my phone so it does all the counting for me and that keeps my motivation up to keep going out because every time I can see the improvement; even if it still feels super difficult, the app has counted my distance and speed throughout as well as…

Hi, I have a very similar story to yours, I too have just recently been diagnosed with PCOS and whilst my weight was reasonably well controlled when I was younger, the past few years have seen a fairly rapid increase just due to a less active job and having to do a lot more driving, whereas a few years back I used to walk…

That's where I'll be going tomorrow then! I was out jogging and at netball last night, my shins are pretty tender today even though I thought I had pretty good shoes, different kinds for the different kinds of movement. But they've never been fitted for me, and I know there is a good shop nearby that will make sure my…
