I actually cam out of my gynae appointment really upset and very annoyed that i'd been made to feel really fat. the doc there took great pleasure in showing me that i'm 'class 1 obese' and that i really have to get my weight under control because its affecting my liver now.
at least now i know that my weight may be a factor, but certainly not the only one as i am insulin resistant and am about to have yet another glucose tolerance test because my endo thinks i might be diabetic.

That's AWFUL! I weigh 205 and I would get seriously P*d if my gyn was talking to me like that. It's all about how you are built. I see these women on "The Biggest Loser" and they are like 212 and look awful, but me at 205, I don't look bad at all. It depends on your structure, height, how you carry it etc. I am 205 but wear a size 15 and I am 5'6". But no matter what, trying to make you hate yourself as a motivation to working out isn't going to work. It's depression that has a lot of women eating through their pain. What a jerk!! If he wanted to motivate you, there are other ways than telling you that you're fat and showing you on the obese scale. If there was a chart for levels of insensitivity, he'd be in the "over and beyond" category too!
I hope you lose the weight for your health and your self esteem, not because some insensitive pompous man tells you to. WTG on your 5 lbs so far. With PCOS its hard to lose one, let alone 5 so good job.
