Many cysters who have lost weight and seen an almost complete reduction in their symptoms will not attribute it to weight loss, per se.
Typically, it's the adherence to a reduced calorie diet that is high in nutrition coupled with a mix of cardio and strength training that turned things around.
Calorie restriction (even before weight loss is seen) has been demonstrated to improve the labs in some women with pcos.
Same for exercise...even one bout of exercise can help insulin resistance.
Too often, women use the scale as their only measure of 'success' and if it doesn't move the first week, they give up. The cysters how see the biggest success stick it out for the long haul, and really work on developing the habit of healthy diet and regular exercise. (regular meaning 5x per week, in upwards of 60 minutes per day.)
Whatever you choose, I wish you the best.
