You are totally not alone in this. Weightloss is more difficult for PCOS'rs. It stinks. My dr told me that I should be exercising 60 min per day 6 days a week. I uh... try to get 30 in but it is hard for me due to foot/ankle issues.

Maybe set a reward for yourself if you meet your exercise goal between now and the end of the year? Like a pair of shoes you really want or a new piece of costume jewelery?

HTH and know that you are not alone in this fight!

totally agree with the reward thing ... gives you something to look forward to ... i also have problem shifting weight .. as well as going gym healthy eating etc .. i brought a exercise bike ... and now i try to use it for half hour .. while a show i want to watch is on the telly ... you work out.. watch what you wanted to .. and it stops you getting board on the bike ... good luck hun

Definately not alone! I had been working out 6 days a week 60 min a day and hadn't seen any results, after 2 months....... So the doc said I need to do the insulin resistance diet, ughhh I am so overwhelmed and frustrated. I keep telling myself that at least I was healthier. We have to keep trying though to make the healthier choice and keep eachother motivated. The more of us that can do it, will show a huge motivation for others.

You girls are right. I just hope I can get over the first part which is defeating my laziness and stepping foot onto my elliptical trainer. I will take that advice and watch a show while working out!

You're definitely idols for me already just because you are working out so much. Thanks for your support!

Do any of you have acne? Mine is so red and somewhat painful. :o( so frustrating.

i have ance although its not so bad as it was ... my doctor gave me a lotion to put on my face every day and it cleared half of it up ... or they are pills you can have ... dont go to well with dairy though ... good luck

I had REALLY bad acne when I was at my heaviest and I hated it .. I still get it once in awhile but not as bad... I started working out again trying to go it atleast 5 times a week and I changed my diet alot! I've notice just working out didn't help me, I had to change alot of what I ate...
I'm also trying to lose atleast 10-20 pounds before christmas.. So, you're not alone! :)
If you need someone to talk to or anything I'm here :o)

Hi Keliya,

I am with you it is awful I am 30 and my pimples are worse than when I was a teenager, they are mostly around my chin and jaw line I am using a Garnier product called "Pure" it is a 3 in 1 wash, scrub and mask it seems to working really well. If they get worse I leave it on more for the mask.

I also have trouble exercising I can't seem to get motivated, I can't sleep and then I wake up late and just can't get moving. My hubby has been a big help he is onto me to go to bed earlier and wakes me up earlier, I tend to have a nap later on which was a big no no for me but this routine seems to give me a little more energy.
We both joined a gym the other day and it helps to have someone go along with you even though he does his thing and I do mine atleast he makes me go.

I will be your buddy if you like even if we don't lose anything it will be a bonus to get moving.

Let me know

I think what helps is to start off slow and easy.Just getting on the machine and using it is an accomplishment in itself. Get on and imagine yourself thin. Set some goals on what you want to look like or goals you want to achieve. Just take it slow, get your rythm and ease your way into it. You don't have to jump right into. I usually watch music videos and tell myself Im going to be sexier than they are. Its my motivation. But you have to get onto the machine first and find something you like about it. Even if you start off easy. good luck madame.
