  • I have Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome and that causes weight to be gained and it to be hard to lose, and I enjoyed food. PCOS also causes depression and anxiety which I have in leaps and bounds. Easier to eat my feelings than deal with them. Family death and mental break down didn't help. Not that I would consider myself…

  • I lost weight on mine, and never had many issues (though I do notice I drink a bit more since I've been on it), now I've kind gotten stuck I think, so we're looking at other options for weight loss but my doctor does tell me its helping because blood work is coming back good. Though the most recent blood work isn't back…

  • I'm sure a lot of people who get it have tired other ways and feel helpless, it probably is a good kick to the system. They may choose not to follow it, but I know someone who got it (after months of going through lots and lots of hoops to be approved), and she lost a lot of weight and is now keeping it off the tried and…

  • Apple and 2 TBSP of reduced fat peanut butter, delicious, healthy, and filling. I do Granny Smith's but I think any apple will work.

  • I just do 15 minute alternating on various machines in my small gym my apartment has (usually it is a treadmill/stair climber, but time to time I mix it up).

  • I am a more 'blessed' girl, and I wear two bras, I'm not quite as big as you though - so I don't know if that would be enough. I'm hoping to lose some of it with weight loss, but it might also just be my genetics haha.

  • Thanks for the welcome! I didn't realize there were groups! The link isn't quite working but I will go try and find it! Yes I noticed a lot of the community focuses on calories, which is fine, most people don't have PCOS and don't know the differences it makes in weight loss plans :)
