PCOS/Insulin Resistance Support - success with pcos?

Hi i'm new

any success stories with weight loss or cured symptoms with life style changes or medication?

Yes, I've done it. Apart from the body hair and a certain amount of acne, I'm pretty symptom-free now. Regular periods. And I've lost a bunch of weight, as you can see on my sig. It took quite a bit of work, obviously. I only take Spironolactone, no bc, no glucophage, no other meds except aspirin.

I watch my diet, portion control, calorie counting, lots of fruits and veggies, etc. I'm not low-carbing. I exercise hard just about every day. That's all I can think of. Good luck! :wave:

Welcome, REE!! :wave:

Ditto for me on what Seek said..with a few changes. I still take glucophage, but only 500mg a day now instead of 1000mg. The 55 pound weight loss has helped me cut it down. I don't have any periods because I had a hysterectomy & ovarian cystic cauterization. I don't take spiro, but I might next time I go back to the doc. Have to see what she says.

I also watch my diet, portion control, calorie counting, lots of fruits and veggies, etc. & I drink ALOT of water. I still have my treats now and then, but nothing like I use too. I'm not low-carbing. I try to exercise as much as possible, whether it be gardening, cleaning the house, tennis, or just a walk with the dog. I try to make a point of staying moving. It's good for the bones! (I also have arthritis.)

Good Luck!! Feel free to join us in our blab thread!! :yes: Here's a link: Hope to see you posting soon!! :D
