Hi ladies I'm new to the group and thought I would intoduce myself and maybe gets some tips on how to loose weight. My name is Janeen and I have a 8 month old little girl and have been married just over two years. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 06, during this time I gained about 30 pounds most of it in my stomach. I lost about 15lbs because of the meds I'm on for the PCOS. now I am unable to loose the weight from when I was pregnant. I did loose some from nursing but it came right back. I would love to loose about 40 pounds but i know it will be hard because i do love food and the PCOS makes it hard as well. any tips would be great.
its poly cystic ovarian syndrome. I'm basically the opposite of a diabetic. I'm on the same meds as one and get treated by the same doctors but I make too much insulin and never use it. this makes you gain weight, most in your stomach and makes you go months without a period.

I lost 50lbs from changing my diet and started to do cardio and weights. I eat about 5 small meals a day and i stay full and feel great. What is PCOS?
That must be tough. What do your doctors say about weight loss?

He keeps saying I need to loose weight and take my meds. I take my meds but its really my eating that does not help. I need to cut out carbs because that makes my sugar go up and then I gain weight because I make more insulin. I was walking almost everyday when I had my baby but that was getting frustrating because I kept gain the weight back. He keeps telling me to watch what I eat but thats much easier to say then do.
