Yes pls feel free to add me !! I'm on C1 going into c2 but would love to get some inspiration and support from u all X

healthy low carb/low gi diet, regular exercise (5 times per week if possible) and a healthy lifestyle is the best answer i can give you for PCOS!! Unless there is a serious underlying cause like cancer that it seems he has no evidence for then a hysterectomy is a RIDICULOUS suggestion. My periods are now normal after…

thanks!

thanks guys.. have been keeping a note of period dates etc so hopefully the specialists can help

it was pretty light.. more than 'spotting' but not like a full blown period..

I can only tell you what my experience has been, but I saw a specialist in New York who told me that only some women are insulin resistant others arent.. I struggle to lose the weight but im not insulin resistant (i had tests). Before I knew whether I was or not I I tried Metformin and it did nothing for me, but I know it…

I've also used couch to 5k by nhs download it to your phone or iPod and it tells u when to run and walk x

hey hun,,im no expert but i could only run 3 mins a couple of months ago and now im running 35/40 mins. I would suggest set yourself a aim like 5k. . and download walk/run program. There are loads out there you just need one that you feel fits your ability.. you cover the 5k distance but you do it by jogging then walking…

Thank you Lisa and lots of luck to u

yes I have PCOS which means i dont break down carbs very well.. so i am on a low card high protein diet and lots of vege .. i find it helps with my stomach issues too as i have ibs.. and generally makes weight loss easier! It took me a year to lose about 30lbs because i had a lot going on in my life and had times when i…

thanks for all the nice comments guys...JOANNIE- Sorry if it came across that i didnt believe in any cheating..we are all human. I just meant cheating as in always being bad with food and hoping you lose weight. As I said nearer the end, we all slip up and have bad days with food.. and it doesnt harm us as long as we get…

it's nice to see you all joining and welcome! I felt so alone when I got diagnosed and it's so good to speak to other women who struggle with the same issues.. when I have a bad day food wise it shows on the scales in a big way so it's not easy but I know we can succeed together! x

haha love that ramazander!! Great story.. and good you can laugh at it! I was told my a few 'specialists' that i was doomed from the start but its not true and we can achieve anything despite the PCOS. Keep the faith.. you lost the weight once you can do it again and you are still 20lbs less than you were when diagnosed!…

PCOS AND DEPRESSION: Stanford Report, June 11, 2003 Depression, PCOS linked in study Women who have a hormonal disorder called polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, are more likely to have depression than women without the disorder, said a study by medical center psychiatrist Natalie Rasgon, MD, PhD. The study also shows…

p.s. I am in the middle of writing an article about my journey and will finish it when I get nearer to goal. I will post for you guys if and when it gets published. I want to raise awareness as so many women have this and do not even know it.. xx

Hi everyone and THANK YOU for joining! I hope you all enjoy sharing advice and stories here! I was diagnosed at the age of 20 and am now almost 25. My first reaction reading through the books and online info about PCOS was to panic! Scary risk factors and pages on why it was so difficult to lose weight.. Then after failing…

Well done LisaMarie.. I too have had health struggles over the last few years and its so hard to stay positive so i really admire you! Your weight loss is great.. every lb is a struggle in itself and you have done so well! Keep up the good work!! xx
