I think I must have tried 1000 diets - some work for a while and some work well but as soon as you stop them the weight starts slowly creeping back until it is all back. Even eating like a rabbit (lettuce and sesame seeds) does not cause weight loss.

I have lost and gained all the weight 4 times now - and have found diet milk shakes combined with lots of water are the most effective for short term rapid weight loss.

For slow but long term weight loss it is best to cut out anything resembling flavour (no dairy and no sugar) - which is impossible to do forever. And again lots of water.

My big problem is that I hate water and that eventually I am going to have a pizza or a chocolate, or just eat like a normal person and slowly but surely it comes creeping back.

I have come to the conclusion that the only way to really keep it off is by exercising - and unfortunately with PCOS it means working harder than anybody else as it takes us 3 times longer to loose weight. It is best to start off really slowly and with something you don't hate - like 10 minutes cycling on an exercise bike and build up until you can do an hour.(put on nice music or read a book or watch tv while doing it) Loose a bit of weight first before you start anything more complicated or else you will either hurt yourself or find you cannot do it and give up.(if you are going to gym go at odd times - there is nothing more depressing than watching barbie in a leotard)

Again - as soon as you stop exercising the weight comes back - but it is easier to stay exercising than to diet. However time is always the problem there. And doing it alone is not very inspiring to keep going.

Doesn't it just make you want to scream at how unfair it is?
