Hi Misschin22 ,

Welcome to the Weight Loaa group.

For your PCOS, have you been counting your carbs.? I have PCOS and am also a Type 1 diabetic, so I'm counting my carbs. for everything. I've learned that if you eat too many carbs., then two things will happen. First, the blood sugars will go too high. The second, the PCOS will act up and not be easy to manage. I've had PCOS since I was 16 years old, but was diagnosed in my late 20's. What has your doctor told you at your last appointment?

Please check out the PCOS UK (Verity) group on HU. Go to: healthunlocked.com/verity-pcos

I hope this helps!

Hi and welcome, Misschin

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), or in the drop down on the 'Posts' page (it says 'arrange by'). Read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you.

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.

Take a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the NHS BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate.

To the right of the HOME page (bottom on a mobile), you'll find Events. In there, you'll find links to our daily Weigh-in's (you will choose just one day per week), our Daily Diary, where we post our menu and exercise plans, for accountability, advice and support and our “What's happening today” thread, where we pop in for a chat.

Be aware, that the HU app doesn't give you access to all of our important features, so we advise that you use the full website page.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too.

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey

If you need to lower your carbs and control your blood sugar levels perhaps have a look at The Blood Sugar Diet by Michael Mosley.

Hi I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I would like to send you my love, hope all this goes well for you. Do make sure you eat enough though and do not eat less then the NHS bmi calculator tells you to eat to be able to lose weight. It gives you two amounts to choose between and as long as you choose somewhere between these amounts to continue with you should be ok. Keep an eye on it as the amounts do drop as you lose weight. If you don't eat enough calories your body thinks your starving it and turns what you do eat into body fat and this weighs more than eating the extra calories does so it stops you losing weight and sometimes puts weight on instead. Don't make this mistake at least. Whatever you do decide to do good luck with your journey.
