What (if anything) are you girls doing to lose weight? I am having such a difficult time with it! ugh!

Hi Mere,

When I was diagnosed as part of the screening from our first IVF, they put me on Metformin 1000 mg and then I switched to a low-carb/low-fat diet. I eat very little red meat and pork, but heavily consume dairy (low-fat), poultry, and fish. I also consume a large amount of fiber (whole grains, fresh vegetables, some fruits) to counter the digestive effects of the Metformin and all the dairy. To sate my occasional pasta/bread fixes, I've switched to whole grain versions and there is a great organic soy pasta on the market that has a lot of fiber and 10g protein/serving. Now that it is summer is is so easy to just grill some chicken or fish and toss a salad.

Of course, I am one of the 'lucky' PCOS girls in that I only put on about 20 lbs when I went off BCPs. I've dropped 10 since the m/c though and and an now hovering around 140 lbs on my 5'2" frame.

Good luck

I am new to the site, but very interested in trying to loss some weight before trying to get pregnant. I started with a low carb diet and lost about (9 lbs), but grew bored quickly with all of the meat. So I switched to weight watchers where I am still going down but at a much slower rate. Does anyone have any suggestions on a happy medium?
