    PCOS, Orlistat and Metformin!

    I've been really good with my eating plan. Plenty of fruit and veg and grilled chicken and veg but for about 3 weeks I have had no loss so I treated myself to some pasta last night. I think I'll be coming off orlistat as it doesn't appear to be working. I find a 7lb loss in over a month whilst...

It's quite frustrating actually! I take 3...

    pcos, the pill and losing weight

    Hey Scooterchick I'm trying to stay off pills but I am seriously starting to consider trying metformin. My doctor offered it to me about 6 months ago but I said I wanted to lose the weight my way and not take pills. She said she didn't blame me really. I'm wondering whether that might have...

    I'm not sure if there is already a thread on here about this-I can't seem to find one though! I was diagnosed with pcos just over 2 years ago. I've been on the pill basically since then (with breaks in between). I've been on the low gi diet since January, I lost 3 pounds in the first week...

    Hi Chocolate! Thanks for that-what's the Cambridge diet? I liked the idea of the low gi because I have pcos- is the Cambridge diet good for people with pcos? Oh and I totally know what you mean about the one pair of jeans! I have about 20 sitting in my cupboard and can only fit into one. I...

    Hello I've only just joined this so you'll have to bear with me a little! I have PCOS, was diagnosed nearly two and a half years ago. I didn't have all the symptoms though-I had irregular periods but that was it. I didn't (and still don't) have any acne or anything. I was within my...
