Hi all,

I have been doing Weight Watchers for the past couple weeks on my own but am going tonight to a meeting because I need to be held more accountable. Thats why meetings work for me!

I have been successful in the past with Weight Watchers but during recent attempts I have not been. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and according to WW I should be eating 24 points. My doctor says to stick to around 20 points bc of the PCOS. Does anyone else have any experience with eating less than WW recommends?

You aren't supposed to eat less because you have PCOS- you are just supposed to be more mindful of what you eat- such as sticking with complex carbs and no refined carbs or sugars like white breads, potato, white pasta, etc. I don't think your doctor understands that. Points are based on weight aren't they? If you eat too little, SPECIALLY with PCOS you won't lose.

I'm not certain what PCOS is or if you "should" eat less with it but, from my experience, when I don't eat all my points, my loss for the week is really low. One week I only lost .8, the following week I lost .6. Last week I ate all my daily points and some of the weekly points and lost 5.8.
