The struggles of trying to loss weight with PCOS😅🥲
At the beginning of 2023 I had reached my highest weight of 226lbs.. I didn’t recognize myself, it just didn’t look like me. Having insulin resistance PCOS cause me so many issues physically, emotionally & mentally. It felt like I was never gonna lose the weight until I did!
2023 I made it my mission to at least get below 200lbs and I did & I was so excited & extremely proud of myself! My lowest weight I got was 177lbs and holy cow did I feel like a different person but I felt like me, I looked like me & it was just a different feeling. I almost felt ‘free’ in a sense 🥹
If you are also struggling just know it will get better, pcos is such a difficult thing to learn & understand specially when finding out what your body likes and doesn’t like. For example my body doesn’t do well with sugar that’s why I’ve switched to zero sugar food now I have less body acne, less bloating, less fatigue, my moods have gotten better!
My page will be showing what I do to help myself continue to lose weight and making myself healthier & hopefully I can help someone else too❤️ I still have weight to loss so if you’d like to join along you of course are more than welcome!!
You aren’t struggling alone, I promise!

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects many women. It can complicate weight management due to insulin resistance—a significant hurdle for many. Eating a balanced diet low in sugar can help manage PCOS symptoms and enhance weight loss efforts. Recent studies underscore the importance of regular physical activity, which is vital not just for shedding pounds but also for improving mood and overall health. Beyond diet and exercise, mental health plays a critical role in managing PCOS and weight loss. Support groups and therapies can offer invaluable assistance. Practicing mindfulness can also alleviate stress, which is imperative, as stress can exacerbate PCOS symptoms and lead to weight gain. By sharing experiences and tips with others facing similar challenges, women can foster a supportive community that inspires one another. Knowledge is empowering; understanding how PCOS affects your body can lead to more effective weight loss strategies. Always consult healthcare providers for personalized advice and treatments that help in navigating the complexities of PCOS.
