Hello MissMeliss!
I have been diagnosed with PCOS for about 3 years,and managed to lose about 70lbs. once
But..hehehe...somehow it found it's way back to me
! When I lost those 70lbs, for some reason, I really didn't find it all that hard! GEEZE!! Why can't I find that motivation now! I know I HAVE to lose this weight, but now it seems to be so hard!!!!
I think one reason women with PCOS have a harder time losing weight, or so I have read, and the doctor that first diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes told me, is because we (usually) have a higher/very high levels of insulin in our bloodstream, which increase our appetite
, and which makes us (me at least) want to eat constantly. And are usually insulin resistant, which makes it really really hard for our bodies to use the insulin. I think this is why sometimes when people are started on insulin lowering drugs like Glucophage(metformin), which I take btw (and have for about 5 years, on and off ), seem to have an easier time losing weight. It does wonders for me. I also do so much better when I exercise everday, exercise increases our muscles ability to use insulin, which inturn lowers the amount of insulin in our bloodstream, decreasing appetite!
I hope I have helped a little bit, I'm so tired, it's untelling what I've just typed! LOL! I learned that this is one of the hardest things I've ever HAD to do, and I HAVE to do it!
Hope you are having an awesome night, I am really tired, long night at work! So good luck to you, if you find any good info, pass it this way!!
Good Nite
!!
