The op's post asked how many are overweight. I didn't want to step on anyones toes so didn't post...

Is it 50% of PCOS women have weight PROBLEMS or is it that 50% of PCOS women are overweight? I suspect that it's overweight as I'd assume more than that have weight problems attributable to PCOS. It would be interesting to see the % results both ways.

I am currently towards the lower end of the weight range for my height, 122 pounds at 5'9 1/2". Last year I was at the high end of the range at 172 pounds.
