hey everyone, I'm new to forums, but thought I could use the support.
I have always been a skinny/athletic kid, but within a year of getting my first period I ballooned from 130lbs to 180 (I'm 5'9). I have always been kind of a health food freak, and couldn't understand why I kept gaining weight even though I ate balanced meals.
At my highest just 2 weeks ago, I weighed 242lbs. It was then that I was finally diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistant. In the last two weeks I have followed a low-GI diet and am already down to 233lbs. I am now 98lbs from my goal weight of 135.
Let me know if you are also IR/PCOS and what works for you!

There's an entire PCOS/insulin resistance support thread.

Sounds like we have similar stories! I found a restricted calorie diet with balanced ratios (40:30:30 carbsrotein:fat) and making sure to always pair carbs with protein or fat works for me. Oh and lots of HIIT training!

Welcome and good luck on your journey!

This exactly!! Worked for me. Welcome!
