PCOS suffer, 220 pounds and not failed to loose weight

[RKRSK]

Hi

I need some help here. I was diagonised PCOS in March, i was put on Metamorfin - a drug that is given to obese diabetic patients - i have read every where and the Dr. told me that the drug helps with loosing weight but my weight isnt shifting. I started an exercise routine way back in December - i have been off any fizzy drinks (Coke, packed juice, etc), off processed sugar plus white bread, cakes, cookies, candy, chocolate, name it. I limit heavily my carbohydrates and i do step aerobics 5 times a week. I drink 8 glasses of water everyday.
Apart from my body being toned - am still weighing 220 pounds - what am i doing wrong?

I live in Africa and almost all the food is fresh - organic.

A lot of people who suffer from PCOS also have hypothyroid issues.  You should have your thyroid tested -- TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 to start with.

I was diagnosed with pcos four years ago. my weight has been up and down about 20-35 lbs since. i have hair on my chin which is depressing. i have no period sometimes. The doctor put me on the pill and i lost thirty lbs but i gained weight after they changed the type of pill it was because i weighed too much for the normal one. metformin didnt work for me either. i went from 155 and now i am pushing 180! This condition even affects your emotions which affects your weight.
