Are all of your overweight?

i am too. it relly sucks. yes some of us have normal weight. im on medication for two years and it really hard to lose weight. now im in the stage 2 of my illness.

yes, i am. and it's really hard to keep of the weight. i've tried doing a no-carb diet (where i successfully lost 20 lbs in 3 months). unfortunately, it all came back... and with extra weight!*sigh* i just wish it's easy to lose weight.

I have struggled with my weight for quite some time and still do. When I was diagnosed with PCOS, they started me on Metformin. I found that when I am eating a healthy diet AND taking the Metformin, I can lose weight rather easily. When I first started on it, I lost 80 pounds in the course of 1 year. Unfortunately, I gained some of that back when I did not have insurance to cover the medication, but I am back to losing weight again with the medication.

yes i am also over weight, i know how you feel, i have been struggling to with weight. and when diagnosed with pcos and the doctor said it caused overweight etc, its even harder now for me to lose weight then it was before. plus its not a nice condition either is it, it also caused me high blood pressure. dark hairs on the face etc. damn thing! tell me, do you have to keep going to hospital and seeing gynaechologist on regular visits with it? i just wondered as i have to go back and see doc at hospital and i cant see the point if they cant do nothing with it?

Well i not sure i am with PCOS or not but i do think i am overweight yea and hopefully i could slim down soon yea

I just got diagnosed with PCOS yesterday. Interestingly, I am really underweight, 5'4 and 98lbs. So I guess that breaks the stereotype.

Yes, my weight has shot up in the last three years, Im now three stone overweight and struggling to shift it. Im now taking Metformin to help and have been told that I also have Insulin resistance

yeah... i am overweight... my height is 182cms but my weight is 94kgs... i have to reduce 10 kgs atleast...!

Yes, I have been overweight since I was 10. I believe that's when the PCOS started. I think the numbers for*thin cysters* as they're called is even lower than one in ten. The only diet that worked for me was a carbohydrate controlled diet where I ate protein and green vegetables twice a day, and protein, green vegetables and carbohydrate of choice once a day. I didn't lose an enormous amount of weight but lost lots of inches! I lost two dress sizes and have maintained most of that loss even though I nmow eat carbohydrates (have to because I have late onset diabetes).

Good luck with it.

I am overweight and have PCOS, but is was NEVER told that PCOS can make you overweight, or that if effects weight at all. They treated me like my weight was entirely my fault, actually! I also have hypothyroidism and my GP refuses ro medicate me for it. Holy crap, I feel so cheated!
