i have been battling PCOS for over 10 yrs. and i have been up and down with my weight for a while. i'm at my biggest now @ 180+ lbs and i'm 5'0". This time last year (09) i was maybe 137...i have unwanted hair growth on my face, chest and stomach...i can go down a list of things for you...i'm positive about it...i'm trying to take the natural approach because the Metformin does not agree with me...i literally get sick when i take it hit me up @ raymangi@yahoo.com. i want to start a support group
i was diagnosed with pcos at 15 and since then i have lost 21 pounds, but now im having alot of trouble losing the rest of the weight any tips??? and i would really like some advice about the excess body hair because now that i lost wieght and im seventeen i get very uncomfortable wearing certain clothing and i feel very self concious around my friends and especially guys.... will this be a problem in marriage will losing more weight help!!!! please help anybody
@kim24may i have been taking metformin for pcos since october 2009, and i have lost thirty pounds plus i now get my periods like clockwork. exercise and eat as healthy as you can. it works and as a pcoster i can attest that met does wonders, stay constant using it and you will see results girly :)
wow i wish i had your confedence to do this on the internet you should be very proud of yourselve ..i am going through the same thing..hope u r doing well
I have had problems with irregular cycles for years. When I do get my period it's very painful and debilitating. I went and saw a new gp today who thinks I have PCOS. I've had horrible acne and hiritusm (sorry, I can't spell) problems. If you need acne help, I've also seen a dermatologist, who has suggested that I use neutrogena cleanser (this cleanser has a special acid in it which is good for bad skin) and a cream with benzyol peroxide in it. It does wonders
i was diagnosed with pcos about two months ago, and it has been interesting trying to get everything under control..im sixteen and at least i know now rather then later, thanks for putting this video up it is people like you that give me more hope that i can do this! woot!!!!
I found out i have PCOS a few days ago and I have done nothing but cry. I was planning and excited about having children soon. Now that plan is put on hold but at least i have a reason for the weight gain. Im alot heavier than you. I think you look pretty good. Im 5 ft and weigh 86kg (189pds). I too have started the weight loss journey and have to take Metformin for a little. Have to book in with the gyno next week so hopefully wont have much of a wait.
I just wanted to thank you for the video!! My name is Vanessa and I found out I have PCOS at age 15 they told me I wouldn't be able to have babies.. and I cried but everything happens for a reason.. to be honest seeing someone who has what I have and who is so motivated makes me feel a whole hell of a lot better.. thank you for being brave... I wish you the best and I send many blessings your way
It's not that you won't be able to have babies... Believe me I know someone that has PCOS and Fibroids all together and she was a bit on the heavy side and SHE NOW HAS A 1 year old baby/... Having PCOS doesn't mean that you WON"t be able to have babies it just means that your changes are LESS but if you minimize your sugar/carb intake and diet and exercise you have greater chances of having children... Keep the faith and NEVER give up!
I was around 160 when i first had symptoms of pcos....but never was diagnosed b/c my doc wasnt that great. Now i'm over 300 and finally found out i have PCOS> wish i would have known sooner!! So be super glad u know now....and not after ballooning as big as me. You're not gross at all - you're tiny compared to me. Just take care of your health that's whats most important!!!
you look great! i have no idea what you are complaining about. Try being me at 5'6 300 pounds, working out like crazy and losing nothing along with the acne. again you look great...and try aveeno products they are pretty good
I think you are beautiful! If you want to lose the weight, make sure you're doing it for yourself and not someone else. Once again, you look amazing to me!
hey i just wanted to say you have def motivated me....you want to see my strech marks there all ove my tommy looks like a road map lol i also have pcos only found out jan this yr after coming of birth control pills ttc just wanted to add clomid is an option when you start ttc and vitex thnks 4 ur post
You look awsome. You are NOT at all fat. I would love to be that size as i am in size 3XL i do have pcos too Keep doing the great work that you are doing.
You are alot smaller than me , but we are shaped simular . That PCOS is a bitch ..LOL...You actually look really good to me ! Im 5.3 and 215lbs !!!! The breackouts are from the PCOS also . I just wash my face daily with Apracot Scrubb ,and it helps .
you look great! i have pcos & my top weight was 270, i'm down to 240 & my goal is 160. so you've given me a good visual of where i want to be when i'm finished!! i couldn't see any of the cellulite or stretch marks on the video. my dr. put me on a low-dose antibiotic to keep my skin clear & IT REALLY WORKS! (doxycycline), you just have to make sure you take it faithfully every day. best wishes!!
i have PCOS also but i am 5'4" and 202.5 pounds and wish i had a body like urs to work with rather than mine, BUT on a good note this is a very motivational video and i wish i had the courage to do something like this... Maybe when i lose a lil weight first... good luck with everything and i would like to stay in contact with you.. Jess :)
Fascinating. Came to see motivation and the PCOS thing now gives me an avenue for a friend. You look just great. Beauty is also in how you feel about yourself so saying negatives things (cellulite & stretch marks) that the viewer can doubtfully see is hurtful to you. I would not aim for skinny or weight. Just aim to feel good about yourself.
I ahve been considered for Gastric Bypass- I wrote you some time ago- right now - I am collecting all my medical history so I can submit it to the Medical Team and Board, to be aproved. It is the right choice for me- just wanted to update you with my news! There is a very well explained Video here on Youtube by a Dr. R. Rutledge...please go watch..PCOS and Gastric Bypass!
When i was diagnosed, the physical symptoms shocked me most. I have been lucky enough so far not to suffer from facial hair, and i only get mind acne, (even so for a teenager)
I would suggest that you try not to wear make-up when you are working out and sweating if possible, that made a difference for me. I think we have sensitive skin.
Its good to see people trying out there. I have PCOS. i am 16 years old now. i must have gained almost 30 pounds getting to be 155 at 5'3". This probably wouldn't have been such a shake up for me if i weren't a gymnast. I work out 20 hours a week as it is, i can't bear to have that weighing me down. Especially with coaches turning right and left watching everything i put in my mouth. I started changing the way i ate last year, and i have brought my self down to 135 pounds
I too have PCOS. A lot of the women on here are not being nice and I would like to say that I am sorry. They may have worse symptoms or more. I know I do and they are making light of your issues, no fair. I think you are rockin' girl. You are a brave woman to do this...i'd never even think about puttin my fat butt on here..lol.And to the not so nice ladies...We all should support each other ladies...no matter how big or smaller our issues are with PCOS. WE ARE CYSTERS!!!
Honestly, I think a lot of the "haters" commenting here are simply jealous. You're proactive against the disease, as well as appear to take great care of yourself, and therefore haven't let PCOS "defeminize" yourself. I commend you on having the guts to reveal your body's trouble spots in such a public place! Keep up the good work, and maybe you'll motiviate an initially negative PCOS'er to take charge!
I think you make yourself feel bad when there are other people that are less fortunate than you and have much more severe PCOS symptoms, I mean come on, you have a bikini on!
Yeah you are right, there are less fortunate people out there with more severe syptoms, and I do feel bad for them, because this is hard for me too, so I can only imagine how hard it is for them.
You are not gross. PCOS is gross. Sometimes just starting starts its own momentum. I get motivated by Tony Robbins, music, knowing there are others out there struggling with the same stuff. Shrinking my stomach and appetite are the hardest of all. Exercise sometimes suppresses the appetite. Stories of people overcoming great odds. The dermatologist has this stuff called metrogel (think that's what its called) that helps with the bumps or acne on the forehead. Thanks for your video
Thanks Judy, just curious to know if you have the disease as well... if so, maybe you can explain the disease better for me and tell me what you did :)
No...sad to say so far no treatment yet..still waiting...doing a whole lot of test...yesterday my hormone tests came back...just like i worried and thought...a very high testostorone count...there are meds out there...but so far my healthcare network refuses to supply them to me
I exersize ...walking...keep myself positive and keep investigating...and also my comments where for notawesomeatall7...sorry for the mix up...i am just so tired of others not knowing what we are all going thru and giving advise about diets..
She really does....but do you understand the disease? It is not an easy fix....weight loss in PCOS only comes first with recognizing the disease & then also getting the right treatment...so many doctors and professionals just practice back door med. & say exactly the same- keep a diet & then you loose weight- well it is a little more complicated then that..
hello! good job! i have pcos as well and breaking out is one of the symptoms. However, when the doctor started me on birth control the acne went away and my skin was alot less oilier. Also, eating more yogurt and fruits in my diet helped with the acne and help maintain skin care. Hope this helps!Good luck!
At one Point I gave up- thinking I will stay obese with a very high and climbing BMI...but there is a silver lining in all of this.
I am somebody and so are you and I will not be defined by my weight ...but my courage and not to ever give up. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You and I and others are somebody and should not be definded by weight!
Just like you, I am overly aware of stares and mean looks at me- please do not think , you are gross...you are beautiful inside out and you are somebody. And your strength and your courage helped me tremendously!
Thank you for this- I know , what you are going through .
I had Laser Treatment done because of unwanted Hair, I did diets...I exercise, I did it all- just to find out...there is not much I can do- that a Professional would have to help fix.
I am 40 yrs old- 5'4 and now at a weight of 251 Pounds due to PCOS...I admire your courage...mine has left me for some time now...but I have Hope and I am prepping for Mini Gastric Bypass . If you look me up, there is a video I have stored, that explains a lot more about the upcoming Procedure. I have done it all...found out 12 years ago , that I have PCOS...but no help.
for your make up issues, use powder over your base. max factor is the best. at night exfoliate with a good scrub, use a good moisturizer at nigh b4 u go to bed and once a week do a mud mask. exercising will also make u break out, but if you detox ur body, and take care of ur skin as mentiond u should c big results.goodluck.
Hey girl u look great! omg i wish i looked as good as you! i live with pcos since i was 13 years old and still ongoing for the rest of my life. My syptoms are way worst than u could imagine! thank you so much for being confident and i hope one day we can all come together and teach other females especially teen girls what PCOS means cause i never knew until i did some research myself. thank you so much for letting females out there with pcos to not be ashame and to live life to the fullest!
You are a complete inspiration! As a young woman myself, going to college and working full time I know how it feels! I could never put myself out there on camera the way you just did! Keep up the hard work, you look great!!!!! Living with PCOS myself this is a battle I feel I'm alone on; but seeing videos like yours makes me feel better about myself! Take care, and goodluck!
That is so great you've posted. When I was just diagnosed, but have had sypmtoms for years...I just got married and we weren't getting pregnant - it made me cry and cry. Anyways, You're super gorgeous! You're calm demeanor is so encouraging. I've just started running too - it hurts!!! Keep posting because it makes a big difference
A wonderful RX combination for acne is Benzaclin and Differin; it works wonders on my daughter's skin. My daughter has a great deal of symptoms of PCOS; weight gain, thinning hair, irregular cycles, elevated testosterone etc., yet she has not been diagnosed. Her PCP is reluctant to send her to an endocrinologist. By the way, has your hair been thinning as well? In any case, you are still pretty.
About skin - try to take Silica supplements - your hair and skin will look great...I swear!!!!! And hair stuff - Laser removal forget everything else..totally changed my life!!!
2 months ago I was diagnosed with PCOS, something I've had for years, just didn't know the name. I started researching to try to understand it and perhaps doing something about symptoms. I found your videos and was so glad! PCOS shouldn't be faced alone, and I'm glad you had the guts to go out there to tell people about it. You're making it easier for me to deal with it because I finally get to feel like I am not alone, and that my symptoms are "normal." Thanks, and keep up the great work!:)
I have PCOS / Insulin Resistant, the weight gain sucks! I would LOVE to be your size though hehe. I found the Aktins Diet really helped me but i gained weight back pretty quickly after i stopped even though i was eating healthy.
I commented on your other video blog to let you know that I am exactly the same size as you, and now its even more freaky because I saw what you look like!!! Basically, We have the same body ! LOL I'd say its not gross :)I gained 30-40 lbs back in 2000 before I was diagnosed in 2001. I'd say that I put it on in about 3-4 mos. So Believe me, if you need to talk to someone, I am the one!!! Take care :)
Congrats on making the step forward and big congrats on standing up in front of the camera (i have not been that brave yet)looking forward to seeing your progress and journey :) xxx
I too have PCOS. Yes bare minerals is better! it doesn't clog ur pores. I think for the skin care nutragina (i spelled it wrong) it works the best. its expensive but honestly the best!
We weigh the same with the same "problem"areas, but really you don't look bad at all. I was expecting something totally different!
Blakperlz6 7 months ago
Are you kidding me?? I was expecting HUGE with how nervous you were. I WISH i had your body. Seriously, you look really pretty! very feminine.

I should be more embarrassed - as I have more cellulite and stretchmarks, but my weight is 47 kilos, and I'm 156 cm tall.
So I don't wanna loose much weight, my problem is that I just need to be healthier, and work out more to get some muscle on me.

I had Laser Treatment done because of unwanted Hair, I did diets...I exercise, I did it all- just to find out...there is not much I can do- that a Professional would have to help fix.

I am 40 yrs old- 5'4 and now at a weight of 251 Pounds due to PCOS...I admire your courage...mine has left me for some time now...but I have Hope and I am prepping for Mini Gastric Bypass . If you look me up, there is a video I have stored, that explains a lot more about the upcoming Procedure. I have done it all...found out 12 years ago , that I have PCOS...but no help.

for your make up issues, use powder over your base. max factor is the best. at night exfoliate with a good scrub, use a good moisturizer at nigh b4 u go to bed and once a week do a mud mask. exercising will also make u break out, but if you detox ur body, and take care of ur skin as mentiond u should c big results.goodluck.

Hey girl u look great! omg i wish i looked as good as you! i live with pcos since i was 13 years old and still ongoing for the rest of my life. My syptoms are way worst than u could imagine! thank you so much for being confident and i hope one day we can all come together and teach other females especially teen girls what PCOS means cause i never knew until i did some research myself. thank you so much for letting females out there with pcos to not be ashame and to live life to the fullest!

You are a complete inspiration! As a young woman myself, going to college and working full time I know how it feels! I could never put myself out there on camera the way you just did! Keep up the hard work, you look great!!!!! Living with PCOS myself this is a battle I feel I'm alone on; but seeing videos like yours makes me feel better about myself! Take care, and goodluck!

That is so great you've posted. When I was just diagnosed, but have had sypmtoms for years...I just got married and we weren't getting pregnant - it made me cry and cry. Anyways, You're super gorgeous! You're calm demeanor is so encouraging. I've just started running too - it hurts!!! Keep posting because it makes a big difference

Do you know where I can get this?

A wonderful RX combination for acne is Benzaclin and Differin; it works wonders on my daughter's skin. My daughter has a great deal of symptoms of PCOS; weight gain, thinning hair, irregular cycles, elevated testosterone etc., yet she has not been diagnosed. Her PCP is reluctant to send her to an endocrinologist. By the way, has your hair been thinning as well? In any case, you are still pretty.

2 months ago I was diagnosed with PCOS, something I've had for years, just didn't know the name. I started researching to try to understand it and perhaps doing something about symptoms. I found your videos and was so glad! PCOS shouldn't be faced alone, and I'm glad you had the guts to go out there to tell people about it. You're making it easier for me to deal with it because I finally get to feel like I am not alone, and that my symptoms are "normal." Thanks, and keep up the great work!:)

I have PCOS / Insulin Resistant, the weight gain sucks! I would LOVE to be your size though hehe. I found the Aktins Diet really helped me but i gained weight back pretty quickly after i stopped even though i was eating healthy.

I heard south beach was better? Have you tried that?
acock16 4 years ago
You are so cute and sweet and positive!
Are you avoiding carbs like bread and crackers and things? I have PCOS too, and I have to avoid those like the plague!
I'm 5'5 and 150, and I need to get down to 125, so I know what you're going through!

I commented on your other video blog to let you know that I am exactly the same size as you, and now its even more freaky because I saw what you look like!!! Basically, We have the same body ! LOL I'd say its not gross :)I gained 30-40 lbs back in 2000 before I was diagnosed in 2001. I'd say that I put it on in about 3-4 mos. So Believe me, if you need to talk to someone, I am the one!!! Take care :)

I too have PCOS. Yes bare minerals is better! it doesn't clog ur pores. I think for the skin care nutragina (i spelled it wrong) it works the best. its expensive but honestly the best!
