manage pcos

My PCOS doesn’t really bother me anymore. My periods are regular, and I’ve lost weight/regulated my weight since I was diagnosed. The medication really did the trick!

Now, as far as the actual exercise and diet thing goes, that’s another goal entirely :)

Now that my health insurance has kicked in, I will see an actual endocrinologist next week. It has been over a year since I’ve had any treatment for this. I had been going to the gym many days a week for several months…which resulted in the loss of only a few pounds. Nearing back up to 190 by some scale accounts. I also will find the gym here one day this week and try it out.

I stacked on weight over Xmas and need to be a little bit more responsible with what I do with my body. Will be excercising tomorrow morning and have been pretty good with my eating habits. The content hasn’t been great – but it hasn’t been junk. For example I am eating alot more fresh food and very limited processed foods but there is a still alot more I can cut back in terms of the preparation of.

I’ve done well so far. I have done regular exercise, and cut all of my white refined sugars out of my diet this week.

I’m Done of being Fat, and In-Fertile.

hi everyone…i’m new to this and it looks like a great community. many of you are wondering what resources there are for us women suffering with this disease…check out the following: http://www.ovarian-cysts-pcos.com/pcos-book-res.html ... it is an EXCELLENT book… of course you can’t expect it to change your life unless you CHOOSE to abide by its guidelines. Dr. Dunne has a daughter who’s suffered from this disease (and still does since there really is no cure)... but it’s so full of information and explanations and … just helps in so many ways and helps us understand the disease and what we can do to achieve our goal: normal cycle, reduce body hair, get pregnant :). That’s what I want to do… get pregnant. carbs are so addictive and that’s my issue… but i guess if i want something bad enough (a baby)... i will do what needs to be done to have a baby. i think i’m still in the “woe is me” stage…where i get annoyed at pregnant women eating crap food… or big girls with three kids… i’m not a big girl but i’m definitely overweight by 30lbs. today my husband and i went to wal mart and of course… there were many families there (i’m pro-family don’t get me wrong)... but so many of these women were overweight or obese and they had children. i’m like I’M NOT THAT FAT BUT I CAN’T HAVE KIDS??? later i gave myself a pep talk about how i have NO control over whether or not I can have kids. Only God decides that… we have no control over it. And if my “cross” is that i have this disease and it’s not easy to get pregnant… so be it. maybe it will make me a better person for when i do have kids (biological or adopted). maybe it will help me appreciate a better diet and LIFE. anyhow.. thanks for listening to my ranting/raving :). Also… big girls don’t get mad at me…. i love all peoples… just sometimes can’t help but let the devil get me down. Shoo fly shoo! Children are a blessing… and i know my calling is to be a mother…whether it’s my own or adoptive or BOTH…. i will be a mother … God willing. :) Check out the site above though… it really can help you. i haven’t yet 100% chosen that lifestyle… so maybe this is my kickstart and i can share my experience here and hope to encourage some of you to do the same and control the disease…and not let it control you.
God bless.

Summerelle. Healthy eating and exercising does help.
No harm in a bit of chocolate.

I have a feeling I got it again. Ive put on so much weight and my back is breaking out. Im working out, watching my diet but nothing’s working. And the irritability…..GRRRRRrrrr!

if you have pcos, does healthy eating actually help in controlling your weight? even if your on the pill

because i feel like i’m wating time with all this dieting. and i really want some chocolate carte d’or right now…

After my glucose test came back all clear I started taking the pill to regulate my hormones. OH my GOD the pain. It was absolutely terrible!!!
I’ve just had an IUD inserted and we’ll see how that goes on the hormone side of things. I’ll pop in to see my doctor in another month or two and we can discuss how I feel on the IUD and the possibility of taking Metformin. I’m still at 106.5 kilos so I’d like to try and get that down within that two months!

I am having one of my unexplained sudden weight gain episodes right now. I’m glad it didn’t happen when I was in school, but I feel terrible about my body right now. I feel so… thick. And none of my clothes fit.
