Hiya peeps,

I'm 27, and a single mum to a 3 year old girl. I was diagnosed early stage pcos 12 weeks ago and my doc decided to put me on weight loss plan and lifestyle change. I go see my weight nurse 4 weekly for weigh in and a chat. I have been on a strict diet and have changed my whole lifestyle i only eat low fat items and have chnaged to only brown pasta & rice etc home cooked low fat meals and nothing else! But in 12 weeks i've not lost a pound!! As if the facial hair and the acne arn't bad enough i'm still fat! I was told to go back within two weeks this to to discuss possible medication to help with the weight loss. I feel fantastic though the change in diet has been great and i'll never slip back into my old ways i just wish all my efforts would show.

    Thanks so much guys, I went back to the docs just over a week ago and she prescribed Xenical weight loss tablets, and in a week i've lost about 6lb which to me is just amazing, it had been a very busy week and me and my 3yr old went swimming twice and were very active, but this weeks been harder as she's come down with a nasty bout of eczema so we've not left the house all week, i know i have to exercise but i can't afford the gym, i only have one day off from little one when she's with her dad and i can't afford to go to a slimming club and they're all at night and i have no babysitter. It costs me three times as much for the food shopping as i have to buy so much fresh food for the diet i just don't know what do to do to be honest, i'm sticking to the diet and enjoying it i just wish i could do more. Oh i hate this i really do.

    Sorry to be such a misery everyone :-(
