Just curious about all the members who have been disagnosed with PCOS and where they are on the plan and if anyone has ever hit goal.

I'm two months and two weeks cheat free and wanted to see what to expect as I go along with this WOE.

Do the PCOS symptoms eventually go away?

Will we always lose weight slower than the average person or does it speed up to normal the more weight we lose?

Just curious about your experiences and how long you've been on the program.

That is a good question...I wish I could give you a good answer, but I'm exactly 100 pounds from my goal Good to say that, instead of 129 pounds!

Anyway, I hope someone has gone through this and noticed a change...that's what I am really looking forward to!

Bumping in case someone shows up this weekend that has been on the plan a good while.

I have PCOS - i lost 10kg in about 6 months and then stopped. Im now about 4 kg from goal and have been for arounda year - i can't seem to bump it, but i could exercise more.

I would also love to know. I'm on week 8 of healthy eating and exercising. I finally had a period after 3 month and before that several months. I was on week 4 of low carbing when i my period. I should start around the 27th of Sept. and i already started getting cramps this week. I will be so happy if my period comes for the 2nd month in a row. I've noticed my underarms look lighter in color. I still have facial hair that doesnt look any better. If we lose the weight and stay healthy can we completely be free of pcos? I would love to hear from those who have pcos and have been Low carbing for at least a year.

BTW- my Family Dr. complimented me for losing weight. She acknowledge losing weight for pcos suffers is difficult. I was totally shocked. She wasnt the one that diagnosed me my OB-gyn did. I go back in one month and hope to lose more by then

Hi

I'll be doing Atkins for 6 weeks tomorrow and I am happy with the results thus far.

After the first 2 weeks my acne started clearing up, only when I had a cheat day about 3 weeks ago I had a few pimples the day after. Also I had my shortest cycle ever. 43 days!!! Which was a 1st for me.

I am seeing my FS again tomorrow and I'll also be doing new bloodtests. So I hope to have good news for you all. I really think my testosterone levels will be lower, and I do hope I have less cycts on my ovaries. But then I'll tell you if atkins made a really big difference in 6 weeks. I am sure it has.

Goodluck with Atkins, so far it's done wonders for me.

Cheers

I lost to goal a few years back. All the pcos symptoms were under control except the hair I'd lost. Uh huh..........guess what flared up big time when I started to go on and off lc alot at regained. The dumb old pcos.

After about a month or so of Atkins, my cycle started back. I've had a regular one now for the past 4 months when before I had an irregular one every 6-7 months or so. I'm hating the actual irritation of being regular, but love what it's doing for my body!

The last time I did Atkins, my acne cleared up, there was a significant reduction in facial hair, and I definitely lost weight. My periods were regular already because of the pills and I'm not trying to get pregnant, so not sure about those. I was still losing some hair, though. This time, we'll just have to see. I just started induction again...

I just restarted Atkins on 10/11 after a 2 month fall off the wagon. I'm on the pill so my periods continued as usual. But I have acne roseca and that came back after a week of being off the plan. I've tried every type of cleanser and medication on my face but nothing works. The Atkins plan clears up my face and really diminshes the redness. I don't have to embarrased by my face anymore. That alone is reason enough for me to stay on Atkins.
