PCOS and Weight Loss

[STLDisney_Freak]

If you have PCOS and have had success losing weight, what are your suggections to another PCOS'er? I have PCOS and I'm currently seeing a docter for it and to loose weight, but things aren't going at well as I hope they would be.

I have had PCOS for years and have struggled with my weight most of my life. I used to blame PCOS for my being overweight and not being able to lose, but I found that I can do it if I really wanted it. I went to Weight Watchers and have found success with watching what I eat and exercising. Good luck in your quest, but I can tell you first hand it can be done so have faith in yourself and your ability to lose the weight!

I have to be on medicine to lose weight. Are you on Metformin (Glucophage)? I don't loose weight nearly as well without it. I also think that Aldactone helps too. But, I haven't been on it since before I got pregnant.

Have you ever been to soulcysters.com? They have alot of PCOS info and a great diet/exercise forum.
