Hi all I have endo and pcos and as a result I suffer with my weight but although my husband and family tell me I'm not fat I can't help but look at myself and look huge, didn't know if I was alone? I'm 5ft6 and a size 16 just I have a problem where I see myself bigger than I actually am??

Hi I suffer with pcos n endo too n have a weight problem, I was just under 20stone n tried loads of diets but nothing worked for me however I decided to try juice plus a couple of months ago n Iv managed to get to 17.10 so far. I have a long way to go but I'll get their I hope. I thought loosing the weight would make me feel better about myself but I feel worse. I really know we're ur coming from cause my family say I look well but I just don't feel it. Chin up luv u will get their in time n this group is always hear to help xx

I have endo and pcos as well. I've been told by my doctor that I need to loose weight as my bmi is just above average. I'm 5'5 and wear 12-14 clothes, but that's mainly to cover my size f/g boobs!

I know what you mean by feeling like a blob! Try not to worry so much, it's something our bodies do to us

They tell us to lose weight so the symptoms are reduced but it's impossible x

Hi, have you tried the Endo diet? Try going glutenfree wheatfree dairyfree, soyafree for a month and see how you feel, I've lost weight doing the Endo diet.

I have gained weight the first round because I hurt too much to walk and exercise. I gained nearly 30 pounds. Then for some reason my endo quieted some after a year of being fat, and I was so tired of being fat that I started walking again. I started losing weight (about 25 pounds) and the pain came back full force. I had tried all kinds of birth control to try and stop the pain, but they had severe mental side effects that were not safe for me to continue. So I tried the depo shot. I gained 30 pounds and am peeved about this. I still hurt (after 10 months on the shot) and I still can't go for my walks or try and exercise.

I have to be gluten/wheat/soy free because I am allergic to wheat and soy. While I notice a big difference allergy wise, I notice nothing endo wise. So I am not lucky in that aspect. I am super tired of my pant sizes creeping up. And when I have mega bloat days, I feel all icky and blobbing over the top of my pants. :P
