Hey ladies. I have been reading both overweight and trying to conceive and pcos forums. I suffer from both! I have some tips that have worked for me so far. First of all there is no " quick fix diet program, or magic pill" if there were everyone would be skinny! I know I would be! What we are trying to do is get our bodies healthy enough to carry a healthy full term pregnancy with a little miracle waiting.. if you have pcos the first thing you do is start on 500 mg of time released metformin! for a whole year i took only regular metformin 500mg and no ovulation then i upped the dose to 1500 gradually over a few months period.. i would have like 42 day cycles, and that's just not going to get it! so, 7 months ago i went to 1500mg of time released metformin 500mg tablets 3 times a day. and i am proud to say that i have had perfect 28 day cycles i can even tell you exactly when i am going to start. now that is just a fraction of what needs to be done. losing the weight!! It's so hard! I am a carb addict and also food is or was my comfort. depression can cause weight gain and slow your metabolism quick! so you have to find inner strength and tell yourself this is for you and your baby! There are no quick fixes however i chose the nutrisystem program yes it is 300 a month and yes the food is horrible but it works and its so easy! and it comes with a excersize dvd that is so easy i mean pop it in the dvd player and 30 min later your done for the day and it really makes you feel good aboput yourself! so what ever program you use remember that 3 lbs a week is a healthy loss of weight any more than that can damage your heart and it is draining your fluids! i started the program 4 months ago when i started it i weighed 262 i am now at 227 this time next year i will be where i need to be.. I wish everyone the best! just remember there is no quick fix.
