I used to be a skinny pcoser too. The first symptoms I noticed were hypoglycemia beginning at age 9, wacky periods beginning at puberty, and hair growth in my late teens. It wasn't until my early 30's that I began gaining weight. I put the weight on when I was undergoing infertility treatments, and I've never been able to get it all back off. Even now I am not obese, but the extra weight(20lbs) is enough to affect my self image and my long-term health. I am taking metformin now and hope that with dietary changes and moderate exercise that I will be able to slowly regain my former shape. This disease is difficult for anyone, slim or not, to deal with.

Good luck and good health.
