So it says it in the title!
Im 29 & feel 79! Im on Metformin & 125mcg of thyroxine for Pcos & underactive thyroid.
I have gained over a stone since last Sept after almost getting to my goal :-(
I followed the 123 diet plan which is low carb & thr weight dropped pretty quick. Lately i just cant seem to lose any weight at all.
I feel tired all the time, aching & just drained...i will admit i have been eating crap too! Well they do say " you are what you eat".
Anyhow im looking at any success stories on here from following low carb.

I have tried SW recently & lost nothing!! If i eat taties, pasta ect i just dont lose! My consultant says i am insulin resistant, but dont know how they worked it out??? I have pcos, excess hair & irregular periods...scan showed no cysts tho.
My SHBG & Testosterone results were borderline, but androstendione was raised.
I dont understand it all to be honest, just been given tablets to take & thats that.
Can anyone help me......Please??
