I am another one who loses weight slowly. Is part of the parcel with PCOS, I just have to try and stick to wholegrains where possible, which means no unhealthy white carbs for me.
However I just see Slimming World as a way of life now, it isnt a diet to me and I will never go back to eating unhealthily again. So as long as the weight comes off, I really dont mind how long it takes, as I love Slimming World.
I do think anyone should look at any healthy eating plan as a new way of life and not focus on it being a diet. As long as the weight is coming off then that is the main achievement done. You have done remarkably well with what you have lost so far and you should be proud.
Just think of all the weight that could be going on if you had not of taken the step and joined Slimming World. Okay it might not be coming off as fast as you like, but it is coming off and not everyone loses huge amounts every week. It is quite normal to lose 0.5lbs and even STS occasionally.
That said it doesnt hurt to go and speak to your GP, as others have pointed out, there are various medical problems which can make weight loss hard.
Good luck!!!
