I am 6'1" and am at the heaviest I have ever been (160lbs) because of Achilles Tendonitis which has prevented me from doing the things I love for the past year such as rollerblading, cycling, jogging, skiing, etc...

I look forward to chatting with you guys!

Hey ladies, I am 5 foot 3 inches and weigh 104 pounds. I have fluctuated between 99 and 118 (heaviest 125 my freshman year of college) when on birth control I am at my heaviest. Does that seem strange to be at ones heaviest on birth control I thought it was supposed to do the opposite? Off birth control I am always 104-110 on I am 115-120 so of course, I stopped BCP!

I just read somewhere (either PCOSA or Jerritt Fertility Group) that people are considered thin cysters if they have a BMI at or below 25. If you Goggle BMI it's really easy to figure out.

Yeah, that BMI can be misleading. Last time I figured it out, I think it said I was "overweight." For one thing, it doesn't take into account how much muscle you have. Muscle weighs more than fat. I work out. I've gotten compliments on my toned arms and legs. And my endocrinologist was even hesitant to diagnose me with PCOS, because as he said, "You're not overweight, by any stretch of the imagination."
I wouldn't take that equation too seriously. You could find out your body fat percentage by going to the gym, and they have this thing you hold onto and then it gives you a number.

I'm 5'8 and 140 lbs. I'm interested in the dieting you are talking about. I'm new-maybe it's somewhere posted on here- I'll have to look. I haven't been tested for IR, but I do eat quite a bit of carbs.

i am 5'9" 169lbs. i'm still a size 8 so i like to think that makes me a thin cyster i gained between 10-15 pounds over the past year (not sure if it was it the PCOS or just law school stress) i am trying the low GI diet but it seems tough as a vegetarian. we'll see... any good GI diet advice for vegetarians is greatly appreciated!
