You look amazing Lisa, such an inspiration. Have an event coming up in May which I would like to lose at least some of my weight for. Even a stone - have 4 to lose and would love to look as good as you by September - my original goal date. Well done xx

Hi Nee, I haven't been on here for ages but had subscribed to your thread. I also lost a stone in a year and want to be 9 (around 4 stone to go) by September. I have been stuck at the same weight for months now and have felt like giving in but with an important event in May I want to lose at...

Nice to hear some positive stories about PCOS...

Hi there, I'm sorry I haven't been back on since the last post. Thanks ladies...how are you?? I've been yo-yoing so went through a good patch with diet and exercise but dipped in the last 2 weeks. So making today a re-start...this gets tiring but have to keep going right?? xx

Brilliant news Phoenix!!!!! Miss Bee it certainly does happen...hope you have a good weekend and are back on the wagon. at least you were really good all week :) x

Thank you both! I feel lots better this week. It was a blip but felt really rough at the time. I have lost a few pounds since last weekend so that's only a few pounds in the entire month as I slipped back from having lost 7lb to piling it all on to now losing 3lb in the month. However, it is...

I have to say I am probably the fattest I will ever let myself get. I've always been able to wear my weight a couple of stone over the optimum but where do you hide 4.5stone? It was my close uni friends wedding on Saturday and I am mortified at how enormous I look, especially around my...

ooh white tulip, how fabulous! You are nearly there, cannot wait to hear you have whipped off that last few pounds for the 4 stone loss! :-) You WILL do it!! Thoroughly impressed with the folk on this site...it keeps me going! x

Ria I am totally the same...it takes a while to get into a routine and then work gets manic and I let things slide. The next thing you know I haven't worked out for months. I just want to break that cycle and make sure that I do something, even just a bit every week so that I don't keep going...

Thanks Sammy...I love that everyone on the forum has different aqpproaches that we can all learn from. I haven't heard of the Toney Ferguson diet but I will google it now that I have! I'm glad it's working for you, please tell me more/ keep us posted and well done :-) I know that I must step...

Thanks White Tulip and Nee, think it is the whole half a stone back on actually so ticker stays as it is...but thank you for the support. I am right back on track and will start to take it OFF from tomorrow. well done all on the losses x

Thanks Sammy E! Congrats on your weight loss...its great!! I have now managed to put on the entire half stone I lost in the first 2 weeks. I don't know what is wrong with me :cry: I have been quite stressed and eating more carbs....bread and pasta are all it takes for me to pile on the...

thanks delilah, until i manage to get to a slimming world group i just cut out crisps and bad stuff. Just got into snacking on fruit and not eating when im not hungry, smaller portions. i dont eat much wheat or refined white carbs and try to have dinner early and not eat after 7pm. So just basic...

Thanks Mark !

Thanks Irene!!

Well done on the 14lb weight loss Slim...I would not say all of my friends are very slim, some are and some are not. And friends are friends - they just like you as you are. However the most unhelpful comment I ever heard came from a friend who could do with losing a bit of weight...

Im doing that right now - going for a walk! Never hear of exante, is that like meal replacement shakes? I admire your willpower and weightloss - well done :-))

Thanks Dextermum, at the moment I am not any branded diet but with all the evidence around Slimming World, am thinking of giving them a whirl - plus - stepping up my exercise regime by introducing various activities into my week. Infact I am going for a long walk/jog now! Wow, just saw you...

I've really got to do it this time. I have been yo-yoing all my life and have been slim-fat-slim to fat again in the last 7 years I haven't been able to get the weight off for trying. I lose a little and put twice as much on, also have PCOS for the last 12 years. I am now at my heaviest, aged...

Hi Cazie, that is great and well done! Sorry you said you are doing it on your own but your profile says with Slimming World? Just interested because I am thinking of going to SW! x

Mary well done on your weight loss! I know it is tough as I too have PCOS. Think what you've achieved is fabulous, keep it up :-) I'm a newbie to this site, but already amazed at the success stories and suddenly I dont feel alone with it! I was 23 (12 years ago) when I found out I had PCOS and...

Thanks Louise, that is really good to know. I am very active physically, and enjoy sports etc but find I get lazy to go to the gym when I'm stressed usually about work or something gets in the way, so my goal is to exercise more and get fit by doing various activities in the week including...

How is it going??? I just joined the site, have around 4 to lose as well. Saw your thread and wanted to say good luck. Would like to join in too! x

Well done! Rosie I noticed you are at Slimming World. I am planning to join a group locally. Has the group been partly responsible for your tremendous weight loss?? I have PCOS, and as I have never joined a slimmers club before, not sure if their diets are suited to the condition, which I...

This is my plan ...join a slimming group near me, gym twice a week, and either a walking club or a local boot camp twice a week. I think exercise is my biggest failing. I love being active but have the tendency to get lazy when i am busy or stressed. This is the first time I have joined a...

Count me in too! also got about 4 stone to shed, only just joined this site and started my diet/exercise plan today x

I think you are amazing. You have a will to lose weight and that is why you came on here and asked for help - good for you! We have all been where you are so just think...you got as far as already walking into KFC and not buying a thing for yourself, if that isn't a will of iron what is...

Thanks Healthy and Sharkbait, very encouraging responses. I am sure we can do it too!

Hey all, just wanted to say hello! I'm new here, and have a long way to go to reach my weight loss goal...seems like so many great people on here reaching their health and weightloss goals. Nice place to reach out and get some support so here I am. Are there any people with PCOS out there who...
