Re: Losing Weight

I have PCOS also. I have struggled with my weight since I can remember
(I'm 31). I have tried to cut the carbs but have a hard time doing it.
When I went on the Glucophage for infertility, I lost 15 pounds in a
couple months. I feel for anyone who has this. It pretty much sucks. I
am definitely interested in the program. I am determined to loose the
weight before I go and try to get pregnant again.
thank you
Tina
