Only recently diagnosed with PCOS, however ive known ive had it for ages just had to fight to be diagnosed!
I was wondering if anyones stomach was as bad as mine, i have a fairly healthy diet, work out but for the past few years now especially my stomach has looked like a 9 monthes pregnent lady, my sis is actually 6 monthes and mines bigger than hers!
I have to wear massive knickers to suck it in! Its crazyily big.
Im regular(toilet wise) so its not that, and i take water balance tablets.
Is this just the PCOS? or not?

With PCOS we tend to carry the weight in the middle (My belly is so annoying, Ack... Always carried the weight there since I started putting the pounds on during puberty)
It's usually due to the Insulin Resistance, if I am not mistaken.
You are not alone.
I just commented on it to DH yesterday. I was like, "My belly is so big, I look like I'm pregnant... what will I look like when I am pregnant! Ahhh!"
Well.. I made the last part up, I didn't scream... out loud

yeah, my belly is majorly huge - like I'm carrying twins. I don't have a big bust and my legs aren't too bad. When you look at me face on I'm fat but in proportion, then I turn around and it's disgusting...just vile.

Me too...was looking at myself in the mirror the other day and got really upset. My legs are so thin and then I have this huge belly. Doesn't look right

Being on metformin and low carbing it has helped mine drop dramatically..
and listening to the articles on here that talk about low carb or low cal lifestyle... and just trial and error with that stuff.
but I feel your pain. I've always had the looking pregnant thing..
It's recently started to go down.. and I've became more pear shaped.. but not quite enough for me to be happy yet...
my belly is like polly's. it goes in at the belly button. to me, my belly looks like 2 tires stacked on top of eachother. i've got absolutely no waist line at all. thank God i have big boobs. i'm a teacher and children who didn't know me used to come up to me and ask me if i was having a baby. i would have to say, "i'm not having a baby, i just have a big belly." that's so embarrassing!
I have the same problem too. It takes too long to get my tummy to tighten up...but ve noticed that drinking hot fluids like green tea at least twice helps a lot. I have also noticed changes since I stopped eating rice and white bread.
