way to lose weight while having PCO

[zonian18baby]

Do you know what really works during or having PCOS, what type of exercise or food can I eat to keep a healthy body weight. I'm 35 now, and Since I was 28 I gain lot of weight, I'm 5'3  my weight is 200 lb, I lost only 10 so far thank God, but I can't get to keep a good diet..I love the sweets, I would love to lose some before starting or continuing getting ready to have kids. Has the South Beach diet work for anyone???

Have you had kids?
Im 23 and diagnost with PCOS, my weight is ok but I have no O so Im put on Metformin....hopefully it will get me O so that I can try to conceive...

Thanks!

There is always a risk that as I get older the weight can be gained..
I myself love sweets as well...

Have you been checked for an insulin resistance? pcos can cause this and many get put on metformin. I am on metformin and it has helped me keep my weight down. If not ask your doctor about this. I went a long time not knowing and beeing over weight.
