PCOS

I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. I think I just got so frustrated. After the surgery and everything I had a follow-up with my doctor. Turns out I have PCOS--Polycystic Ovarion Syndrome. She said it is a diesease I will have for life. It mostly affects my fertility, but she said it also slows my metabolism and makes it hard for me to lose weight. I then told her I had been trying because I was getting married and she told me I should follow an Insulin resistant diet (even though I'm not diabetic). My body with PCOS will work more efficently so long as I watch my insulin levels. I've been following a diet for the past month called the Insulin Resistance Diet and now I'm happily down to 170 pounds. SHe also prescribed me Melformin which will help with my insulin problem and suppousedly help speed up my metabolism a little aiding in faster weight loss.

I guess I just feel like all the odds are against me as far as losing the weight I wanted to lose before the wedding in July. I've been eating very healthfully but not really working out. I'm going to jump back on the wagon with working out this week and just give it 20 minutes a day. Hopefully by my next post I'll be down in to my 160's.

Does any one else have PCOS? Any luck on Melformin?
