PCOS trying to lose weight but really struggling - any tips?

Not sure if this belongs in the PCOS forum or here!

My hormones are crazy, really out of control. I am having more bloodtests and ultrasounds at the moment as well as consulting a gyno. I have already seen a dietician.

I go to the gym at least 5 times per week, sometimes twice a day and I am eating really healthily, and following the guidelines and suggestions the dietician has given me. This has been for the past 3.5 months.

The problem is the weight is taking so long to come off me. I feel like giving up. However, I know I need to lose weight to try and help my hormones out!

The gyno wants me to go back on the pill (after I have more ultrasounds and bloodtests) to try and control the PCOS and hopefully this will help me lose weight aswell.

I am looking for tips to try and get my body kicked into gear to start losing the weight! I am 163cms and currently weigh 70kgs. A 5kg weight loss would be a great start, and if I lose 10kgs that would be great. I have an identical twin sister who has hormone probs aswell, though not as severe as me and she is 10kgs lighter so I have a "model" of what I would look like.

I have needed clomid to fall pregnant with both my children and it would be really great to just "fall without any intervention while having fun" for our last baby!

Any tips?

I have PCO, so not the full syndrome, and also had the most horrid time losing weight. I am currently into Week 9 of Weight Watchers and I have lost just over 8kg so far.

I recommend WW so much!!! I've learnt portion sizes, what each meal should contain, different meals/snacks.

I truely hope you find something to help you lose some weight.
Good luck

How much does it cost? My friend has just redirected her last 2 weeks of jenny craig food to be delivered to my house, though this is not affordable to me in the long term!

There are a few different options which have different costs. I have the complete package including all my meetings costs and all on-line & mobile phone tools. It costs $65/month.

We were boring and bad eaters so the initial pantry set up cost a bit but week to week our grocery bill is roughly the same but our take away bill has dropped to nothing so we are actually infront with $$.

The best thing I like about it is we are learning how to eat properly and my entire family eat the same thing. I don't have to cook different meals for DH/kids. We are feeling so much better and are really enjoying the changes to our lifestyle.
