Guest guest Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Amy, I also have PCOS. If I understand correctly, the doctor told me that my metabolism would be pretty slow... Is that what you understood?I am afraid that this will be a slow weight loss!Cristal Re: Good morning Kimra:I have a condition called Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome that makes my whole system out of whack. It started with sporadic periods as a teen, inability to get PG as an adult, and now, it is effecting my weight. I am lucky, in that I am small in comparison to most with my condition, but I am 15 lbs heavier than when I (finally) got PG and that's just not acceptable to me. The only way I have lost any weight is by sheer starvation and then it comes right back when I eat normal.I have friends who did Body For Life (which does the 6 small meals a day and weight training) and they have lost tons of weight. I just wonder if WW is the right thing for me. Nothing seems to work...................Amy McLawhorns Kids RepWWW.KELLYSKIDS.COM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This STINKS!!! I just want a normal system that if I choose to lose weight, I am able to! UGH!!!! I'll keep plugging................ Amy Amy, I also have PCOS.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I take it. While I don't know that it's improved my weight situation, it has improved other aspects of my PCOS. I think it's worth having to swallow four HUMONGOUS pills every night. -----Original Message-----From: Cristal Case Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 8:42 PMTo: Weight_Watchers_Member_Support_Group Subject: Re: Amy I have heard really good stories about it from other ladies with PCOS.
