Hello,
New to this group...i cant believe there is a support group that fits me as well as this one.
My question is, i have pcos/ir...does that make it double hard to lose weight? I just dont get it. I used to eat at least 3400 cals a day...looked and felt like a blob. Now i am eating 1200 for a maximum number (thanks to byetta) but i am not losing hardly anything. I get so frustrated so quickly. I have been dieting for 2 weeks, really diligently watching and recording every morsel that goes into my mouth. I lost 2 pounds the first week and 5 the second week...only to weigh this morning and have gained 2 of the 5 back. What the heck? Its not that time of the month...so what gives? With as much as i weigh...i should have easily kept the total 7 pounds off. I didnt cheat or anything over the weekend...infact i weighed less when i went to bed last night than when i woke up...what is that about?
Back when i lost 100 pounds the first time, i became scale obsessed like this and i had to have my son hide the scale in his room and only let me have it on friday...isnt that nuts! but that is all part of my addictive personality...i am always addicted to something...usually food..but once in a while, when i get fat enough, i change that addiction to weight loss.
Ok, back to my point. What does PCOS/ir do to weight loss effects? Anyone?
Thanks for letting me vent.
