How To Regain Control Of Weight?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

My weight gain has gotten out of control! I gained almost 50 pounds in less then six months. I’m exercising trying to eat better but no matter what I try the weight won’t go away! Anyone have any good tools they used to get the weight off??

Have you discussed with your doctor? Sudden weight gain like that has me questioning thyroid dysfunction or insulin resistance. Of course I'm not a doctor so I would definitely consult with one to see how they can help figure out the best way to address the issue.

I also use myfitnesspal - when I first started using it I could not believe the amount of food I was eating on a regular basis, around 3000 cals/day average. That is almost DOUBLE what I should eat to lose weight. So it was no longer a mystery why I was gaining. It was a real eye opener and made me start taking my metformin regularly and cleaning up my diet.

I like the myfitnesspal app, it's free and it helps keep track of your consumption. I also take a lot of vitamins/supplements to help with the crazy hormones; maca, fenugreek, milk thistle, evening primrose are a few

I have battled with my weight for as long as I can remember! Tried every fad diet under the sun and even basically tried to starve myself when I was younger and stupid! No matter what I did I would only ever lose 1 stone and then would hit a wall and and the weight loss would stop no matter what I did. In April this year I joined slimming world and in 15 weeks I have lost 4stone 2.5lbs! No idea why this works for me when nothing has before but I just wish I'd done it sooner! It's definitely more of a lifestyle change than a diet and it's so doable!

I use the carb manager app..it helps keep track of my daily carb intake as well as my exercises.

Girl I feel you. I smell a cookie and gain 10 lbs. I know that it isn't always your diet and it is just the hormones. I will be praying for healing.
