Women with PCOS: Weightloss Questions...?
I was diagnosed with PCOS since 2002. I am currently on Metformin (1500mgs a day)
I was wondering if anyone with PCOS has been able to lose weight with a specific weight loss plan....Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Weight Loss Clinics...Vitamin B Injections....etc.
Im 26, I work out regularly (STEP Aerobics M-F) Eat healthy & take meds yet I have not been able to lose any weight or inches. I keep a very active lifestyle so its not like Im sitting around all day or on weekends.
Any info is helpful. Serious answers only please.
Thanks!

I hear ya... cyster. 
Have you been to www.soulcysters.net? A great site for PCOSers. They have taught me a lot.
I stopped Met because it made me sick. Glad it's working for you.
I haven't been able to STOP the weight gain yet but THINK I have found out why. There are so many factors that cause/create the weight gain... and if you only address ONE thing, you miss another piece of the puzzle.
Here's who I am getting ready to go see. Cause he's close to me...but there are docs like him all over the world that can do the same thing for you. www.hotzehealth-wellness.com Just do a search for naturopathic doctor and the state you live in. I talked to their office today and shared that I was on 45 mg of T3 (thyroid med) and wasn't anywhere near feeling normal...she said...that's because you may need 100, 200, or 500mg to feel normal! I was floored. Why isn't my doctor seeing that? She said they don't really know how to heal, only how to fix symptoms. Anyway, for PCOSers...she said it effects everything...cortisol, female hormones, thyroid, adrenal hormones...and until ALL OF THEM are balanced...I won't lose weight or feel better.
Most of it isn't covered under insurance but I'd rather wake up feeling alive than feeling dead...so whatever it costs, I THINK I AM WORTH IT!!!
I wish you luck! It's a frustrating cycle, eh?

Do Weight Loss Menus Bore You to Tears?
I remember sitting in yet another weight loss clinic, talking with the "nutritionist" about what kinds of foods and meals I would be able to eat while following their program. The weight loss menus were pretty much the same, day after day, and repeated every week or two. Now, I admit, I like more variety in my food than most people, and don't tolerate eating the same thing two days in a row under normal circumstances, but these food plans would bore an accountant!
Clearly, no one was meant to eat this way. New seasons bring new, vibrant foods into the market, and we all want to get them at the peak of season. The difference between a strawberry in the early summer and one in the midst of winter is painfully obvious. The same holds true for most foods. Our ancestors ate seasonally and enjoyed foods that hadn't been stripped of their nutrition and processed, and lets face it, they didn't have to worry about their weight.
Looking at the Past to Improve your Future
There is a growing body of research that indicates that the best, healthiest way to eat is to go back to a simpler time, nutritionally speaking. Eliminating all of the modern processed foods, returning to raw dairy products and focusing on properly grown ingredients helps our bodies to metabolize food efficiently. The real question is how to manage this in today's complex global pantry.
The first step is often the hardest, and you should expect it to take some time to make your transition. Strive to remove all processed foods from your diet. That means getting rid of things like prepackaged meals, wheat based breads, artificial sweeteners, sugars and commercially grown meats and dairy products. They have a misplaced reputation of being helpful.
Instead, fill up your kitchen with fresh organic produce, raw nuts and natural sweeteners such as stevia and raw honey, organically grown poultry and whole eggs, grass fed meats and wild caught fish. This isn't about joining some "fad" diet or a "lose weight quick" scheme; this is about eating for life.
Weekly Menus
With your new ingredients, purchased at your local healthy food market, sit down and plan out your main meals. I like to do this before I go shopping so I can maximize my savings based upon those things that are in season and what is on sale.
Start with whichever meal is hardest for you to plan and get off the ground. For some it is dinner, for others it might be breakfast or lunch. Take a look at your circular. What do you see that you would really enjoy for a meal? Plan your meal around that item. It doesn't matter if it is some lovely wild caught trout that you will prepare for dinner or a sale on eggs that you will combine with some veggies into a terrific frittata for a weekend lunch, you need to start somewhere.
Slowly expand your week, fitting in a day or two for leftovers, or using them for lunches. It won't be long before your personally designed weight loss menus look as appetizing as the meals you are eating now.
