not really ttc related :-/ but trying to lose weight to help concieve as i have pcos...anyone help?

[1moretime]

Hello.
So i have pcos & underactive thyroid so trying to shift weight isnt easy!! The only thing i find that works for me is low carb, but then so many people say its not healthy!
My periods are really irregular anywhere from 32-45 days altho last months was 56 days! ( i was adamant i was pregnant) but no just my body playing more tricks on me!
Iv decided that im gona try & concentrate on getting fit again & lose weight. Im 12st 7lb & would like to get to 11st as im 5ft 7ins and any less i wouldnt look right. Lol.
Anyhow the consultant told me if i lose weight ut will help with my cycles & also help kick start ovulation. Anyone found this helped??
Also im on thyroxine & metformin, will i beable to take the raspberry ketone tablets to help with weight loss? They have natural ingredients. Xx

Hi 1more. I also have pcos. Im only a little over weight but im tiny 5"2 so every extra pound shows. I bought a slimming world book online and its the only diet where ive lost week on week because I wasn't going to the meetings I just read it cover to cover to understand it as best as possible.

Hi woodwaj i followed sw a few years ago and it was fab...but tried it a few months ago & lost nothing. I fi d if i eat pasta, jacket pot then i cant lose. Thanks hun.
How much have you lost? Do you do extra easy plan?

I lost 10lb in 4 weeks then I went a little off track around my birthday. I found a group on facebook that had some great meal ideas! I do EE yes. Maybe try more meat/veg and a smaller amount of carbs? Im quite a fussy eater and did that weight loss with virtually no fruit or veg

Wow. Well done you :) Thats fab.
Im gona have to give it another go.

Anyone tried the raspberry ketone tablets...could i take them while on thyroxine?
