Oh Nichola, your story made me sad .That's the thing about hair growth with PCOS , it won't stop.I got rid of mine with electroloysis but it all grew back.Had my red veins done ( I'm a lot older than you )- they came back.I wish I had a good suggestion - you need to find some funding to keep the...

Try and suss out for us if you think she has regained a stone like Best says she has.I bet she'll look very glam up close !!

I had my thread veins done- it wasn't a laser but he put a needle like thing in which broke the veins up.Thing is - they come back !!! it was the same guy that was on telly too.Looks good for a short amount of time but before you know it they are back.Left my chin lumpy too.Now I've got more on...

Hi S/W girl , have been in hosp. I may need an op so MUST lose 3 stones at least.Have joined a gym and am just eating healthy- no diet !! fruit, yogurt , lean meat and fish.Will let you know how I get on !!Good luck with the wellsprings. B.x

She looks so much better now, she's lost that gaunt haggard look, so it might have back fired against Best LOL.

PQ has regained 14 pounds according to this weeks Best magazine, where she now looks like a 16 again they say.

Oh dear.I'm afraid my diet has disappeared.I had a terrible couple of days with pain in my tum , due to trying to digest pork chops I think, so I'm afraid I'm no help.I've been eating sandwiches and all kinds- anything to get my tum back to normal.Daren't get weighed now.I had an awful migraine...

My skin always massively improves on the low carb diet .Yes the 5 pounds was quick but it will soon drop now and I will have to keep plodding on with exercising and making do with low sugar jelly and cream for my sweet tooth.I got some ketostix to test for ketosis , it is showing pink at last. I...

Hi, am back on Atkins and can eat !! have lost five pounds so far and very happy. seven pounds in 8 weeks is very slow but well done for keeping at it !keep me posted. B.

Shredder you are amazing.I have to admit I have given up on this diet and gone back to the Atkins diet. I was just STARVING living on sachets and feel so much better now that I can eat.Well done to anyone who can maintain it though :)

I'd love to try them but haven't got the dosh.I think my hair would grow back though, but still if I had the cash I would try. Aymz , my face is pretty hairy all over,not just mussy but cheeks, chin,forehead.I hate the sunlight as it shows every hair.I have to use a nose trimmer too.:( I told...

I have 2 children and pcos.Got there naturally in the end.Try not to worry about it x

I am amazed that so many many people have found succes with lasers.I paid hundreds of ££££ to have electrolysis and it was a total waste of time.I discussed with my g/p and she said it would always return no matter what treatments I tried.She said her Asian patients that had started shaving from...

Yeah ,sounds familiar.I was diagnosed years ago and my doc thought by putting me on hrt it would help.I just gained more weight.Never been on Met but don't fancy it either unless it reduces weight ?? carbs are such a pain.I was on 4 sachets of cambridge- 12,5 gms carbs approx each ,so near 50...

I was only thinking abou this last night.I am 55,had a hyst , but last time I had an ulta sound scan the woman couldn't find my ovaries as they shrivel up and disappear as you get older !! does this mean I haven't got PCOS any more ???? I have acne,greasy hair and hairy face!! weight sticks if I...

Yep - once my weight is off I am going onto Atkins for maintenance. Got to be worth a shot.I can't live on sachets all my life and at least with atkins you can be social- eat the lamb chops with some veg ,followed by coffee with cream.Currently , if I go out it's a weak cup of tea !

Thanks for the answers. My hub has just started the atkins while I'm on the c.d. I envy him all the food he is wolfing down,whilst still losing.I'd go back to the Atkins diet but I've done it a few times and my body must have got used to it as I don't lose on it.Also, I'd prob just continuously...

Hi all, tried to post this q elsewhere ( on the Ketosis thread ) but it wouldn't let me so I hope someone can spot this 4 me. When I was on the Atkins diet ,you weren't allowed more than 20 g of net carbs a day to get into ketosis on the intro programme ,and even on the moving up to maintenence...

Thank you both .It helped to be reminded I have done it once so I am holding onto that thought in the hopes I can do so again.Will post again if I manage to lose it , B.

:cry:I had only been on the CD for 2 weeks and had lost nearly a stone , but gave in to all the Xmas goodies.Now I weigh more than before :cry: Am on day one again and starving.I am starting to doubt if I'll be able to get back on it again - anyone out there fallen off so fast ? have got 5...

Hi Shredder- was looking on the site for another guy as my hub is starting the diet in New Year.Was made up when I saw your pix.I am off to show him your pix now, he is almost identical in size to you at the start in your before photo.What did you weigh then ? my hub is 20 stone now. Thanks for...
